Show THE LATE CABINET CHANGES BARGAIN BAR-GAIN AND SALE. The leading New York journals, except the Herahl, are not favorably impressed with the appointment of Donald Cameron as secretary of war. Pierrepont a3 minister to England, is generally well spoken of as likely to make a respectable diplomatic representative, far superior to General Gen-eral Sclienck, and Talt is recognized as a lawyer who will not do discredit to the department of justice. Cameron Cam-eron is generally referred to as simply a political intriguer, who has secured a position in the cabinet as the result of a bargain which will give the vote of Pennsylvania to Conkling. Don Cameron heads the delegation from his state; but the T'incs thinks he cannot control the the entire filty-cight votes at Cincinnati. Cin-cinnati. The Sun says that Cameron Cam-eron has long been hankering lor a ticat in the cabiuet, and thinks the appointment will settle Pennsylvania's 70te for Conkling. The Herald regards re-gards the new cabinet appointments as a command from headquarters to, combine the republican vote on ConkHng. Pierrepont, who goes to i England, is not a Conkling man. j Taft, who was supplanted last year in Ohio by Hayes, will endorse the preai-: dent's choice, and Don Cameron's influence as wc-ll as that of his father will be shown in favor of the New ; York senator. After the first ballot or two, the Herald says nearly all the southern delegates will go over to Conkling, insuring him a majority on the third or fourth ballot. The New York Tribune says: Doo Cameron never recdored any ; .blic serv'Cft which cititles him to b--I advinced to ono of the most honorable and responsible offices in tho nation. His appe-irftne in public hai been only as & managing and brtrgiininff politician, a packer of conventions and manipulator of ring., but his name ii known all over tho United States. Ho is known as the em and hdr of a man who durinjf his ;o;ik a?.d dishonor tide iifd mado c.rrnp-tios c.rrnp-tios tho business of his existence, who has bought o3Ice at tb cost of di.-fcrace, brought reproach upon every caue to which be ha3 htt.ch'd himself, and made the polities i-f his own tUie a his-sircanda his-sircanda scorn to all tho world. As EiraoD Cameron grow- old in iniquity he brings forward Don Cameron as his representative re-presentative nnd successor. Don has all the bu.-inees shrewdness which di'tin-U'jishea di'tin-U'jishea the family, and in his connection ith the Maekay ring ha has deTeloped a caps' ity f r intrigu-i ami watchfulness over the main cbai.ee which muit warm thp cockles of tho old man's heart.
