The anti-administrstiOn Republicans
do not attempt to conceal their grstihca'
tion At the defeat OF the nominstlohs,
and they say that n reorganization oi tho
! Cabinet, and the removal of Evsrs and
Schurz at least, must follow. A remark
attributed TO Secretary Eysrts Was COM
mented upon somewhat IN the House To-
day. Evsrts Ii reported 10 have been
very certain, ~ late as three O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, that the nominations
would be confirmed, and that Blame
would lead the opposition TO Conk-
ling ON behalf OF the sdminlsua-

differences in the past they must take
opposing sides upon oil questions. Re-

nothing about the logic Of pOlltics. II
