McCook of New York. Postmaster GeneralJames A. Qary oí Maryland. Secretary of Agrlculture- , Jauies Wilson of lowa. On all sides are heard good words for icKinley's selection of oabiiiet officers. udge Tourgee in the ínter Ocean sums t up well ín sayiii}: "The cabiuet of President McKinley, hile not fully disclosed, is now well nough known to show that it will be emarkable in one or two respects, at least. Every man nauied thus far is eminent either for political experience and party leadership or in his own profession. There are no experimeuts ani no surprises in it. Mr. Sherman is uestionably the man having the most aried experience in the republican mrty - one of the very fewmen, indeed, vhose actual experience as a public man antedates the formation of the jarty. Perhaps the most striking feature about it, so far as the names already announced would seem to indícate, is the evident determination of Major McCinley to have a liarmonions cabinet. Without any lack of individuality or depth of conviction, all who liave been designated are men who have shown n more than one instance great power of self-control, and some of them an unusual capacity for self-abnegation when demanded by party interests. Every one who knows anything of our political iiistory feels absolutely certain in advance that tliere will be no lack of narmony in a cabinet having in it men so noted for tactful self-restaint as Mr. Sherman, General Alger, Governor Long, and James Wilson. Probably the most personally gratifying feature of the cabinet appoiutments thus far to the largest number of republicans of all classes is the designation of General Ilussel A. Alger as Secretary of War. Aside from the peculiar appropriateness of naming a soldier to be at the head of this department, instead of following the democratie precedent of confering it on a civilian, there is a peculiar propriety in putting General Alger in that position, since both as a soldier and a republican he is better known throughout the Union than any survivor of the great conflict now ing, except Major McKinley himself. He lias endeared himself to every veteran by bis friendship for the least as well as the greatest, and to every Eepublicau by the remarkable capacity by which he has avoided giving oftence to any fraetion or element in the party. No man in our recent political history, except Mr. Blaine, has assumed a cabinet position with so great and so varied a host of personal well wishers as will greet the noinination of General Alger for Secretary of War. The country is honored in this selectiou by tlie recognition given to his military services ; the party by thus rewarding his remarkable political abilities, and the whole country by the choice of a man of such universally approved capacity in business and of such exemplary quality as a man and as a citizen."
