POLITICS IN GENERAL Senator °latt’s Message to the Presi-dent-Elect. CORNELIUS N. BLISS WOULD DO. John F. Hannon, » Georgian, Said to be Much TUiMight of by McKinley—Kherman. It it Believed, Im Not Favorably Disponed to a Cabinet Poult lon—<ien•rai Alger's StippoMed Contribution*. Wasiif«gton, Nov. 27.—“Te1l Mr. McKinley that he will take the lid off of hell if he appoints Whitelaw Reid to * place in the cabinet. ’’ This was the message Mr. Platt gave to Mr. Hanna when the latter was in New York. “If there is anything that would prompt me to go to the senate,” continued Mr. Platt, “it would be the selection of that man to a place in the cabinet. I would go there to fight his confirmation.” In the course of the conversation, Mr. Hanna asked Mr. Platt if there was any one in New York whose appointment to the cabinet he would favor. “I have nobody to recommend,” was the reply, “but if Mr. McKinley-desires a New York man in the cabin t I wid say t hat Cornelius N. Bliss would give satisfaction to everybody.” While not expressing himself sd'pointediy as in the case of Mr. Reid, Mr. Piatt told Mr. Hanna he did not think it would be wise for Mr. McKinley to take Cpionel Fred D. Grant, General Horaca Porter or Andrew D. White into the cabinet. To the selection, of a southern representative in the cabinet the coming president is said to be giving much thought. Much has been said about Governor Bradley of Kentucky, and H. Clay Evans of Tennessee, as cabinet possibilities to represent the south. Neither of these well known Republicans seems likely to be chosen. The man now in Mr. McKinley’s mind is John F. Hanson, He is a Georgian, a. manufacturer, who separated from the Democracy squarely on the protection issue. Bet ween Mr. McKjnley and Mr. Hanson there is a close fnenoship. Mr. Hanson was one of the trusted leaders in the preliminary campaign whicii gave Mr. McKinley many southern delegates. The possibilities still point strongly to Mark A. Hanna for secretary of the" treasury, while there is no reason to change \h" predict: m that Payne of Wisconsin, will be postmaster general. Mr. Hanna, personally-, would rather go to the senate ii an arrangement could be made whereby Senator Sherman would fake a place in the cabinet and G v r . r Busmell would appoint him ( Hatimi) to the vacancy. Senator Sherman uoes not take kindly to the CabMiet suggest join. If he did, there, is doubt if Governor Bushnell \vouht he willing to carry out his part of the programme. it .still looks like Hanna for the treasury. Senator Cullom remains on Mr McKinley’s list of eligibles. Russell A. Alger will not be in the cabinet. There are several reasons why. One. is that after “the tour of. the generals,” which was one of flic most effective features of the campaign and which was supposed to be General Alger's eonxritii.t•« m to the cause of soiind money ami good government, the Republican national committee was Called upon to pay a bill of 5'17,000, M’KiNIEY’S THANKSGIVING. Presid ••’it -Elect. Takes a Drive, Goes to (iiiircli and Beceives Presents.

Canton, 0., Nov. 27. —Yesterday’s weather was of- a delightful quality, wann aiid brightfand Major McKinley made the most of it. The mild-man-nered old family horse was drawn upon for unusual services and the modest car-, riage'of the president-elect was seen on the street a number of times during the day. First the major and Mrs. McKinley had ah early morning drive; then, while the major went to church. Mrs. McKinley and several women friends continued the drive, Mother McKinley’s carriage with some of her household going with theam After ■ the services the carriage was again used to take the major and Mrs. McKinley to the home of their old friend, Mrs. Mary. Lester Reynolds, where a quiet and informal dinner party was held. In the afternoon there was more pleasure driving, and toward evening the major took a. walk, finally landing at the home of his mother in time f< r tea where a portion of the evening was - spent. The express wagons made their usual trips to the house unloaded,severql ■ turkeys a large box of game from some western admirer and a huge arm chair from a Canadian friend, whifli required the combined ingenuity of the household to get it through the doors of‘’the study. There were not many callers and the only ones of prominence were Senator W. D. Washburn and wife of Minnesota. They are going to Japan and came here to pay their respect to the president-elect before leaving the country. Texas OHlciat Vot«.

Clarke whose remains were brought here from Chicago a few days ago, died of a broken heart; actually and physically of a broken heart. When the remains arrived here a physician was called to examine them. . After making his examination the physician asked if Miss Clarke had suffered any sudden and great sorrow or a shock. He was told that she had been informed that total blindness was near and inevitable. The physician said that there was a heart lesion, and that one of the few authentic recorded death from a heart broken by sorrow was hers. Miss Clarke sold law stationery in Chicago for years and was well known to all the attorneys of that city. Two' weeks ago owing to some slight trouble with her eyes, as she supposed, she I visited an occulist. He told her that ! the loss of her sight might be the question of but a few hours. A. few evenings afterward on fenteriinr her home someone spoke to her. She turned and : said: "I hear your voice, but I cannot I see you.” H<t own voice was a bit broken as she spoke, but the significance of what, she •said was not felt by those about her The next morning she was dead.

TINPLATE OUTLOOK. Manufacturers Think the Welchman Cannot K**g<iin His FboThohl. Chicago, Nov. 2s. — The American Artisan says today: “The outlook for American tinplates is very bright. Prices have already gone up and manufacturers with scarcely an exception look for a further adv:nice. As regards the possibility of a higher tinplate tariff the reports are at wide variance. Some firms are not looking for a change; others expect a change just as soon as McKinley can get the next congress together. Every manufacturer is firm in the opinion that the Welsh tinplate mantiia.'Hirers cannot regain the trade they have lost in this country, the only firm making any qualification wjiatev r saying: ‘The Welsh tinplate 'makers cannot regain lost ground if the tariff is left as it is. ’ ' CAUGHT IN SHAFTING.
