C., May 22.—The Cahinet changes announced ot novn to-dny created lively breczes among the vaglous political fac- tions, and the fricnds of the scveral Presiden- tial candldates have been busy cver since trylng to imterpret the move. Those whoare not ex- amiming it 08 an admitted mystery, see nuthing remarkable in it. They say that Mr. Picrrepont lias been quite willing to go to Europe for the last fortnight; that the Presinent has also been awaiting un opportunity to give Pennsylvania the Cabinet position. BSenator Cameron lias ‘been asking for hier; that Don Cameron could not take the Attorney-General's oftice, and did not want the Tost-Ofiice, which could have been had ten days or two weeks ngo, and that Sec- retary Taft would naturally prefer the Attorney- General's position to the War Ollice, andthe latter waa caslly enough urranged for Cameron soon oy tho opening In London was ready for Plerrepont.

They ace in it, hawever, the selection ua a Cabinet officer of a man of declared hostility to Mr, Bluine's nomination, and a strong ndvocate of Mr. Conkllng, and while they do pot bolluve the Presldent intended that this sclection shonld be construed 88 a move in the game for the Preal- dency, still they don't like tha seluction of a man ostile to them, even if it was pot prompted b nr'l‘(lhlnfl connecied with the action st Cincinnntl, he appolntnient of Blr, Taft as Attorney-Gen- eral will give the greatest satisfaction at the Treas- ury Department.
