Will the senate Reject the Nominationsy
Especial 20 the Chicago Trfbunc.l
From Inc private utterances Of Senator's,
there are indications that the Republican
Senators may soon take somewhat hostile
( attitude towards the Administration with
respect 10 the nominations. An illustration
Of this has happened within day or two. A
prominent senator, member Of a commits
tee which had under consideration nom
nation from the Department af Justice call
ed upon the Attorney-General for all the pa
pers IN the case The appointment was that
Of a person 70 succeed an officer who had
been removed. The Attorney General re-
fused the application, assigning a. the rea-
son that Il was the duty OF the Senate 70 de-
eide only whether person was NJ. The
senator Insisted that the senate would see
the papers n matter OF right. SUISSE
quently the Att0rney-General appeared at
the senate, and told the Senator and the
Committee that they could sec the papers as
matter OF courtesy. The senator declined
70 see them a. a matter of courtesy, stating
that he demanded them a. a matter OF right,
and that unless they were presented the
Senate would pass an order directing the At
torney-General 70 produce them before the
Committee. This threat had the effect Of
causing the Attorney -General 10 surrender.
u is the first issue between the Senate and
the Administration.
Hayes and the Republican Party are Out.
Especial 20 the New York Tribunel
The chief feature Of the political situation
continues 10 be the offended and distrust-
ful attitude OF large majority Of active
party men on the Republican side Of both
the senate and the House. The President
sfor the moment almost a. much out Of ac-
cord with his party in Congress a. Andrew
Johnson was in the first year OF his separa-
ton from the Republicans. and before he
had fully thrown himself into the arms OF
the Democrats. When he Hayes first
came 10 the White House. he was thought
70 be exceedingly approachable-the esort Of
man, In short, who welcomed and weighed
advice. He l. still approachable, but the
complaint u made that while you can get at
him socially, you can not intellectually
that r., You can not feel that you are inn
pressing your ideas upon his mind. Con-
gressmen and other party leaders complain
that ne does not invite advice--that n0body's
opinion il asked--fhat even his own person.
al friends are not taken into his counsel in
reference 70 matters in which they are con-
cerned, and have reason to suppose they
ought 70 be consulted. This has had
marked tendency 10 increase the
feeling of GOODNESS among leading
Senators and Representatives. I know one
Congressman who has been acquainted with
Mr.. Hayes for 20 years, and who, in the crit
ica moment last winter, took the step which
probably brought about his pcaceable in-
auguratlon, who says that the President has
never on single occasion asked his advice
since he went into the White House An
other Republican Of great eainence said TO
me lately: /" All the important appoint
ments IN my State were made without a
word Of consultation with my colleagues or
myself. We did not want TO dictate the APP
p9intments. Wewould not havefelt agriev-
"a 4 our collective advice had been disre-
garded, but we did feel hurt when we were
not a. much a. asked 10 give friendly opin-
ion on the subject" Still another promi-
nent Representative remarked yesterday:
MOT single appointment has been made
ny President Hayes on my recommendation,
and yet supposed had as much influence
with him a. any body. | don't care much
for this, but don't like the feeling n being
showed of and held AZ arms length, as II my
advice was not wanted. and had no right
% oner T." Another quotation will suffice:
II feel" said 4 New York Congressman,
" a. though the President thought my Office
81 Representative sort Of disgrace, or nj
least barrier 20 his confidence. | don't 20
near rim, because believe be doesn't want
TO see me.r
