ALBANY, March 19.-The Democratic members
of the Senate have held caucus, in which they
agreed to vote against the confirmation of the nomi-

Kean, there will be deadlock between the Gov
enor and the Senate on this matter of confirmation
The other Republicans have not strength enough to
confirm any of the Governors nominations without
the help of tho three Senators named. The Repub-
