For many months negotiations had been con- ducted by the Duke of Grafton, who was selected as head of the proposed new combination, although the Earl of Chatham still retained his position in the ministry. After the failure to secure the co-operation of other factions, Grafton determined to unite with the Bedfords, in spite of their known hostility to the American colonies. 32 For two reasons it was determined to di- vide the secretaryship of state for the Southern department: first, because th...e duties were too many to be properly performed by one man, particularly since colonial affairs had become so im- portant ; and secondly, in order to create a new position in the cabinet for a friend of the Bedfords. The division of the secretaryship into that of the Southern department and that of the American colonies was not a new proposal, for it had been discussed by the two previous ministries. 33 'This decision affected Shelburne's department, and the ne- gotiations throw some light on the attitude of his colleagues toward his colonial policy.
