' General Harrison’s Personality—
Dif'erence in French and
American Modes.
New York, Nov. 10. —[SpeciaL]—
What a wonderful country we live in,
surely. Here on my right is a politician,
a most seemly gentleman, who has in¬
formed me, without reserve, that tha
nation is going to the “demnition dogs,’
and that the election of our mutual
friend. Cen. Harrison, Grand High Mika¬
do and Aj>pointed Protector of the Pig"
tails, means disaster and unknown woes
to every citizen in it.
One would think that a man who
could induge in such dismal forecasts
with any degree of belief in the same,
would be plunged into deep gloom a foot
thick. But not so.
This individual who declares that said
Harrison's election signifies dark, red,
clotted blool —and lots of it—is at pres¬
ent involved in a pleasant game of pool,
sipping a nectared concoction from the
Hoffman bar, and chatting joyously,
even frivolously, on the coming meet at
Tuxedo or Gravesend or Blackstone.
However, it would not be strange if
he were not one of a thousand—aye—a
million others; you may find ’em from
Minot’s Ledge to Golden Gate—same

Figuring on Harrison’* Cabinet.
Washington, Nov. 10.—[Special.]—-
There is already much speculation re¬
garding Harrison's cabinet. It seems to
be generally conceded that Mr. Jehn C.
New, the editor of the Indianapolis Jour¬
nal, can have a cabinet position if he so
desires. He was formerly under one of
the republican administration!, connect¬
ed with the treasury department, but it
is not believed by many people that Mr.
New understands financeering well
enough to be made the secretary of the
treasury. It is thought by many that if
he goes in the cabinet at oil he will be
made postmaster-general.
Although it was supposed all ak>rig
that Blaine would be secretary of state
in the event of Harrison's election, the
talk now is that Blaine will probably not
go in the cabinet, but will come to the
senate from Maine as the successor of
Mr. Frye, and tha latter will be made
see re: ary of the navy.
Some of the calculations include ex-
Senator Henderson, of Missouri, as the
few probable believe attorney-general, that ultimately though Mr. Miche- not a
ner, of Indiana, is more than likely to
fill that position, especially should Mr.
New, from the same state, not be ten¬
dered a cabinet office, it is thought
that the southern republicans will have
at least one position in the cabinet, and
that Congressman Goff, of West Vir¬
ginia, is more than likely to be tiie man.
Just what position he will be assigned to
is not known at this time.
Ex-Senator Warner Miller, of New
York, has long had aspirations to be¬
come the secretary of the interior, or
else the head of the proposed new de¬
partment In of agriculture. His friends,

that Chinese merchants are not affected

New York, Nov. 10.— [Special.]—And
now tho bettors are coming to time.
Thousands and thousands of dollars will
change hands, hundreds of strange, re¬

formed, and countless adjectives of a
violent and compound nature will tend
to diminish the church congregations

Ten o’clock Saturday night seems to
be the time generally agreed upon as
placing beyond all doubt or conjecture
the established result.
At that hour some big wagers will be
paid over to the Harrison contingent,
and the latter made gloriously, uproari¬
ously happy.
The principal sufferers this time are
the professional gamblers, the book¬
making successors to tho pool-sellers,
through whom the big betting is mostly
done. Beside the money they placed on
commission, many of them plunged
heavily on Cleveland on tlieir own ac¬
count. They bet with the gambler’s
