ARE THEY FRIENDS? “What do you think of the present feel- ing among Sherman, Foster, and Garfield; are they friends 2” “That Is a pretty broad question, and rather of a hard one to answer, It enn only be satisfactorily decided Incidentally, ‘Polltics makes strange bedfellows.’ ‘These three inen have been for some thne past the inost prominent men in the State, ‘Their selétnterests quite often cross each other, and while it fs decidedly for thelr Interest to divide, they have several: times been on the verge of adecitled fight mong thein- selves. Foster Is tho youngest man in prominence of the three; but, of Inte, has proved himself by no means an Insignificant factor. My interpretation of the matter fs as follows: When Gartield was nominated at Chicago it was sort of xenerally conceded that Sherman would remain inthe Treasury, Dut Garfield didn't want lim there, and gently made it known, ‘That didn’t please Sherman by any menns, but. he thought he would take the next best thing, the Senntorship from. Ohlo, Meanwhile, however, Foster had been reaching «tit for. this, and there came yery near being a de- clded breach and a general fight. ‘The dis- cussion of the Sherman Chicago hotel bill was very bitter, and many, things. were said by the Sherman men about Foster that the latter found very hard’to bear, He was on the point of writing something about the matter when the smallest efreumstance pre- Vented, The.day set for getting up some- thing for publleation happened to be the day that the Electoral Coljege met in Columbus, and the meeting was held in the Governor's oflice, That prevented him from attending to the matter on that day, and durlug the eventng a dispateh came whieh virtually told him to lotd on, and on the following day ‘i’, M. Nichol, Sherman's right-hand inan, ar rived in Columbus bearing the olive braneh of peace. ‘Then camat THE SHERMAN INTERVIEW, which, must lave cost the Seeretary a great effort, but: which expressed everlasting friendship for Foster and n veltef that thetr paths did not in any way cross each other, This dectded Foster, who Is one of the most. generous men inthe world. He could have stood upand fought Sherman for the nomi- uation for Senator, but when the Greeks bore gifts he was captured. ‘The principal tactics of the Sherman men was to tell the Governor how much bls presence was needed in the State during the next few years to keep the Democrats at bay. Foster, however, has a great ambition tv be in Washington. ‘There lils political Ife first began, Froms seat In Congress he was gerryninnderedl by in Democratic State Leaistature, and he feelsy that he has vindicated himself and hs party by carrying the State twlee against them, and now desires to go baek In some enpaeity to Washington. Ilo Is anxious to be there during his friend Gartield'’s admin- istration, and no one who does not know him ean understand how much it cost blin to withdraw from the Senatorial contest. But ARWANGEMENT IAS NOW BEEN MADE by which Gurfield, Sherman, and Foster are all measurably well satisfied, and 1 don't think it is to elther put Foster Inte the Cabl- net orte sendhim ton forelgn court, Anan who depends upon tho public for adyance- ment must be governed a oud deal by what the publle want, and there is a generally mantfested desire to have Foster remit here thisyear and ran for Governor, and that he WHLIin all probability do.’ “Do you hear of Gen, Garileld niking any promises to any one?” “Tknow that G to himself, which he Intends to solemnly keep, that he will make no promises to any one. L have known of several applications being made to fim for things that Lknow would be Just what he would like to do, and he would be Hkely todo, and he has given the applicants no satisfaction whatever.

In short, three Cabluet positions are now sald to be settled: Blaine is to be Secretary of State, Allison Sceretary of the ‘Treasury, and Foster Postinaster-General, My information on this subsect’ comes from several of Gov, Foster's mast jntlinte friends, and may bo taken as absu- lutely authentic, ‘Tho one polnt whereon Gen, Garfield ling had greatest difilculty was that of selection of Seeretary of the ‘I'reasury.’ No man that offered seemed to be satisfactory both to hhuselé and the country at large, Morton nH ee te Aa pees gutlstuctorys faint i hiad appointed!
