CABINET WORK. ILLINOIS, Hpectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, Wasinsarox, . C., Feb, 7.—~The Iilinols defegation has not yet recelved any reply from the somewhat fornldable list of Cab- inct eandidates which it forwarded some thne sinee to Mentor. "Lhere were five nnmes sent, the delegation, ns usual, not having been able to unite In favor of any one per- son. Gen, Ranm’s name Is understood to have been at the top of the list, although ho shared the honors with four, possibly five, other eandidates, One of tha delegation, u good denl Interestetl In the matter, salid to- duy thet It occurred to him that, If Gen.

The delegntlon can searcely bo safd to he united on the polnt that such a communieation s expeeted, ng one of them sald to-day: * It of course is not.a matter that concerns the publie any what the Illinols defegation has done, but it seems also very probable that it s a nuitter which hus not coneerned Gen, Gartleld very mueh.” THE LATEST BUMOR is that Conzressman Crowley, of New York, is to be Gen, Garfiell’s Attorney-General. Crowley is n personnl friend of Senntor Coukling. Dutlng the past stuwmer Mrs, Sprazue way o guest of his wife. Itls be- ligved thatif the 'resident-clect has tendered Crowley the Attorney-Genermdship, he has done it knowing full well that Conkling could not urge nny objection, As to the ‘L'reasury, it is now elalmed that all there s In conneeting Senntor Allison’s name with the place Is that Gartield asked him how he would like to he Sceretary of the Treasury, amd his angwer was he preferred to remain in the Scnate, If Allison should continue to adliere to his preference, there Is the gen- eral impression prevailing that James F, Wil- son will get it. THE BASTERN INFLUENCES, whieh have been potent in Freasury matters for many years, are becoming alarmed at the prospect that a representative Western man is very likely to bs appointed Secretary of the Treasury, aud attacks upon Mr. Alllson are now Dbegiuning to appear in the newspa- pers that are near to Wall street, These at- tacks, also In n nuttered, under-the-breath sort of way, are being retchioed by thefrietuls Lof some Enstern candhdates for the T'reasury Departirent, - These- people .are beglnning to find out that It is a very Improper thing for Gen.
