Special Dispatch to The Tribune
WASHING ron, D. c., March 10.-The Senate7
after spending three-Quartcrs Of an hour in
executive session, confirmed the Presidents
Cabinet. There were two opposing votes cast
By Democrats against the confirmation Of Key,
Senator Thurman being reported as having cast
one of them. The few Republicans who re-
mained OF the collapsed opposition who could
not bring themselves to vote for Key declined
to vote It is said there were two votes against
the confirmation of Schurz, one Democrat
and one Republican Senator Blaine, it is
stated, refrained from voting in Schurz's
case, as did several other Repub-
1icans- ETarts finally received the vote Of
Simon Cameron, the latter stating that his
Committee was unanimous in favor Of reporting
Eyarts' name, ana he always felt compelled to
VOTE WITH HIS COMMITTEE. ..tsrx+c
The only votes against Evarts we're cast By
Democrats, The opposition to him was made
in the Committee OF Foreign Relations, and,
much IS some Of the members Of the Commit
tee we're personally opposed to him, they did
not venture upon such IN fmpolitic step as to
report or vote against him. Schurz's only op-
posing vote in Committee is said to have
been cast by Senator Jones, Of Nevada,
who docs not like Schurz's theories
about bonanza mining, and who Is
opposed to giving Schurz appellate Jurisdiction
over all important mining titles. 1t may be
amusing to remember as part Of the history Of
the peculiar contest that Simon Cameron's chief
point against Eyarts was based
ON HIGH MORAL GRoUSDs,-
Cameron claiming that Eyarts, while connected
with the Geneva Award Tribunal, was also at
torney for insurance companies, which shocked
Cameron's notions Of propriety.
The Democratic opposition to Evarts was due
almost entirely to the part he took in the pro-
ccedings of the Electoral Commission. Tee
only whisper Of opposition to McCrary was heard
from Democratic sources on the ground that
he had interested himself in the Electoral Tri-
bunal, first BY moving the resolution proposing
the Supreme Court as an arbitrator early In the
session, and later By speaking as one Of the OBJ
jectors.
ONE POINT MADE AGAINST kEf
was that Republicans would feel humiliated to
ask offices from an old Rebel. 1t isquitegen-
orally understood, however, that Key will make
so few changes in the post-oftices that 1t will
not be worth anybody's while to ask for many.
The ONLY rolI-call was on the confirmation OF
Evarts, schurz, and Key. Thompson, McCrary,
and Deyens we're confirmed without opposition
EVERYBODY PLEASED.
