secretary McCulioch nd Commissioner Rollins
on the Appointment of Supervisors.
Notwithstanding It's probability, there really does
seem some prospect OF breaking the deadlock In the
Interna Revenae Department. Whether the good
humor at present existing between the democratic
Secretary aud the republican Commissioner Will
hold out untll the Supervisors of Interna Revenue
are appointed remains 10 be seen. Commissioner
Rollins will have big talk with the Secretary of the
Treasury tomorrow In reference to the suspended
nominations, when the argument to split the dner-
ence VIII be carried out if the two officials do not
fall osphng hairs. The real hitch appears to behat
Secretary McCuloch objected to certain OF the men
nominated and insisted that Others whom he thinks
more deserving shall be substituted. Mr.. Rollins
declined to make the alterations suggested as the
substitutes were democrats, but he Is now willing to
meet the secretary IN compromising spirit and
settle the matter of hand. The statement that the
appointments are TO be made by selecting repub
cans and democrats alternately is rather too exact
TO avert the charge OF eXaggeration. II this were
the case a settlement would in all probability be as
far OF as ever from the difficulty of deciding which
side shall have the odd Supervisor. From tile de-
veopments OF to-day 1t is quite likely that the
twenty-five Supervisors win be decided upon to-
morrow
