The PTaiblicdns and Cor. Walker.
When the question Of Walkers confirmation Governor
cfxansas before the Senate, probable that the
determination of the question may depend upon the re
pubcan Senators. Already speculation is rife as to the
course they are likely to pursue conectured, the
hand that they Will leave the contending factions of
and on the other that they will throw their against
Walker. TIE argument in favor OF the latter course Is,
that vii embarrass the administration and tend to
widen the already serious breach in the democratic
ranks That the rejection OF Governor Walker would
must be ms rejection by democratic and not by repub
hcan vote The republican Senator's cannot oppose his
An opposition for reasonable would be usti

Texas who have than betrayed their constu
