The Cabinet N0ntndtt0tS-H0tc tie
Senate Receired Them-A Licely Dis
cussion---Blaine the First Objector----
yAll'the Nominations Tabled for Re-
ference Unprecedented Action.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE names
IF the new cabinet were sent in to the
Senate about two o'clock this afternoon.
they are as follows:--Wm. hi. Evarts, of |
New York Secretary of State; John |
Sherman, of Ohio, Secretary of Treasury:
Geo. w. McCrary, of Iowa, Secretary of
War; Richard M. Thompson, Of Indiana,
Secretary, of Navy; Charles Devens, of
Attorney General; David
M, Key, of Tennessee. Postmaster Cen
eral, and Carl Schurz, Missouri, Secre
tar of Interior. The cabinet was all
made up at ten o'clock this morning, and
the names woulI have been sent in inn
mediately on the assembling of the SEN
ate but for the fact that after consultation
it was determined to assign Mr.. McCrary
to the War Department instead Of the
Department of Justice, and assign Gen.
Devens to the latter department. The
nominations undoubtedly give a great
deal of dissatisfaction to large element
of the republican party, including such
Senators as Cameron, Blaine, Sargent and
others, and also many of the most active
workers of the party, such as VIM. E.
Chandler and men Of that stamp. EXPIRES
sions were heard to the effect that it
would have been just as well TO have TIL
den. 1t was said by some that in the
whole list there were but two republi-
cans Sherman and Thompson. ''DI
When the Senate went into executive
session this afternoon it was proposed by
some Senators that the usual form should
be followed of congrming new cabinet
appointments without delay. To this the
democratic Senators made no objection,
but from the republican side there came
numerous objections, Mr.. Blaine leading
off with strike at Evarts, ..whose uomi-
nation he moved to refer to the foreign
affairs committee, and the ugly spirit
which has displayed itself in the last two
days was much more marked now that
the eyes of the public were shut out.
Mr.. Conkling moved the reference of
Mr.. Schurz's nomination to the finance
committee. A number of Senators de-
manded the reference of Mr.. Keys NOM
ination. 1t was then insisted that the
nominations should all lie on the table
till the committees were formed, and that
they then should be referred. Mention
was made of the A. 7. Stewart case, when
after the hasty confirmation it was found
that Mr.. Stewards appointment was not
lawful. One Senator called attention to
the nomination of Senator Sherman, and
asked that in his case at least the usage
be adheared to, as it was the invariable
custom for the Senate to confirm one Of
its members when nominated by the
President for any position unanimously
and without moments hesitation. II
was also thought that Mr.. Schurz should
ccme within this usage, as he had served
a full term in the Senate. q; ftl
The Chair asked If there was any
objection to the immediate confirms
tion of Mr.. Sherman Gen. Cameron
responded quickly and snappishly, s.
: object" The venerable Pennsyivan
ian said it was better that all the no
, mlnations should 20 to the committee
and be considered. He said he had
great regard fol- his friend the Senate
! from Ohio (Mr. SherInan) and like
him very much, but he must say tina
, | he did not like some of thst Senator
ways of late. This was understood t
lbe an insinuation that Sherman was i
more or less degree responsible TO
: the makeup of the ibinet, and tn
3 old man. who is very sore over his 30
: Don being left nut, was determined
visit his vengeance upon Mr.. Sherma
along with the rest whom he holds n
: sponsible for the slight. The cons,
3 ouence was that the Senate adjourne
leaving all the nominations unacte
on, which is an unprecedented act.
NAV be that the nominations will M
: be confirmed for two or three days bl
: there is little doHbt that all of thel
will go through. The strongest opp
sition by the extreme radicals is to IL
u nominations of Messrs. Schurz an
Key, and of the two they would II
d finitely prefer Key to Schurz. -.
l. Gen. Cameron in conversation =
night said he meant not to relax in b
opposition to the nominations. L
n said Pennsylvania should not be snu
:; bed and ignored without receiving b
. vigorous protest. He said he wou
fight the confirmation of Schurz Il
doomsday and has no idea that he wi
} be confirmed, or Key either. /
y thought it monstrous to puta democr
: in the cabinet. He does not feel
an amiable mood toward John She
# man, whom he blames Tor everythin
d Many prominent Pennsylvania repu
N licans uf the Cameron stripe are no
j in the city, and they openly denoun
y Gov. Hayes. ''
re After the adjournment of the Sena
= the democratic Senator'S had u cauct
!. !. and it is understood informally agre,
,e to support the nominations under I
( assurance that the policy OF noninte
vention in behalf of Packard a
Z Chamberlain will be faithfully carri
I'd out. 1t Is ascertained, howeve, thai
Is proposition was made in the caucus
e. to abstain from voting on any OF Z
or nominations of Gov. Hayes on !
Re ground that he was not the lawful
" elected President and the democra
Ill Senators should not recognize him
\ such. The proposition did not mt
= much favor, although it is believ
" that several democratic Senators
= pursue that course.
