Morton was understood to have beon irzed for the treasury by influ- ential members of twhat ia called the Coukling wing of the party, and this wing has not besn satisfied with the proposition o make Mr. Morton sec. retary of the navy. Thoy cared less for the man than for an important vlace in the cabinet, and they have begun of late to look up s western man to represent them. A number of serators aud representatives are now reported to have urged the name ot Mr. Green B. Ranm, at present the head of the internal revenus depart- ment, upon Gev. Garfield for secre- tary of the treasury, and there are ru- mors that a very strong pressure will Dbe broughi upon Gen. Grfield to make this appointment. Mr. Raum is & Grant man rather than a Conk- ling man, . He was a pealoo® third- termer, and it is i ment would be eufticient recognition of the Grant wing. Meantime there are people here who sssert that Gen. Garfield does not Ppropose to make a cabinet composed of representatives of factions, but that ko wieans to select men who have not hed to do with the faction fights in the party, but who are fair represen- tatives of tho party as a whole.
