Rensselaer Republican, Volume 17, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 March 1885 — THE CABINET. [ARTICLE]

THE CABINET.

The Manning - Whitney Crowd to Bun Things, [Washington special.] The old-stagers of the Democracy are not satisfied at the political situation. A prominent Southern man, who, to the time pf the nominations, was continuously talked of for the Cabinet, said to a friend to-day: “Do you observe any nitro glycerine elements in the Cabinet—any dynamite? I do. When you say the Manning-Whitney crowd you have struck the keynote. Those two gentlemen are the Cabinet. It is a New York combination. They intend to control things. They will manage the politics of the administration. S§e how they are preparing to organize every department of the Treasury in the New York interest; and if Mr. Bayard, with his peculiar notions, and Mr. Lamar do not like it Mr. Bayard and Mr. Lamar will simply have to go. The others will not go. There will be a disruption, I predict, before the administration has run a year. ’’
