Cleveland announced on Wednesday
of last week that ho had completed his
Cabinet by the selection of Richard
Olney, of Boston, for Attorney General
and Hillary A. Herbert, of Alabama, for
Secretary of the Navy.
The complete Cabinet is as follows :
Walter Q. Gresham, of Illinois, Sec
retary of State.
John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, Sec
retary of the Treasury.
Daniel S. Lamont, of New York,
Secretary of War.
Hillary A. Herbert, of Alabama,
Secretary of tho Navy.
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, Secretary of
the Interior.
J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska,
Secretary of Agriculture.
Wilson S. Bissell, of New York,
Postmaster General.
Richard Olney, of Massachusetts, At
torney General.
The selection of Hillary A. Herbert
for the Navy had been expected for
several days, but Olney's name had not
been nieutioned in connection with the
Cabinet, and his selection is a surprise to
everybody, particularly to the friends of
Geo. A. Jenks.
. Hillary A. Herbert nas been in
Congress for many years and has acted as
chairman of the Naval committee of the
House. Ho is thoroughly familiar with
the work that has been done toward
placing the United States navy on
proper footing and his knowledge of tho
present condition of the vessels under
construction and which had been planned
makes him a most desirable man for head
of the department. His selection is also
practically a promotion.
Richard Olney is one of the leading
practitioners of the Massachusetts bar,
lie has not held any political position or
been prominent in political matters, but
is known as one of the leading lawyers
and substantial citizens of Boston. His
selection gives New England representa
tion in the Cabinet and that of Herbert
gives the South three positions.

Editor Srwi & Observer :
Knowing full well that it has not been
your inteution or desire to create an erro
neous impression upon tho uiiuds of your
uders in regard to the Day-Daniels epi
sode, an account of which appeared in
the Sunday's issue of your valuable paper,
desire, in the spirit of fairness, to state,
without undertaking to say who was to
blunie, that Mr. Daniels was prevented
from returning the blow (which was
light) by the interfereuco of friends.
Neither did he show the white feather
or in any way act cowardly. I feel, ih a
friend of both parties, that this much can
be said without in any way reflecting
upon the bravery of Senator Day, who,
like the honorable man that he is, at
onee expressed sorrow to Mr. Daniels for
striking him, and by mutual consent th!
seeds of discord were then and then)
buried.
I write this with no desire to appt i
officious, but that the light of truth m,i s
be turned on by the hand of justice. )
all of which I trust we can aree.

MacRae, of Robesou.

Dear Sir, In reply to your letter of

carriage as he did in mine on March 4,
1889.

Capitol to the reviewing stand iu th
carriage furnished by the Senate Com

will be drawn by four jet black horses in
white harness, and each horse will be
attended by a footman in white livery.
