any Senator who voted for the Senate

that would discriminate, but he could

been decided by 4 tribunal created by

CHICAGO, March s.
The Tribune says the refusal of the
Senate to promptly confirm the Cabi-
net appointments of HAYES IA a de-
parture from traditional usage that is
accounted tor on the suppoSition thai
of the Senators took this
method OF mani'e>tin2 their resent
ment of the Presidents disregard of
respective wishes and claims in
he selection of his Cabinet and his de.
.erlninatiOn 10 form his W Admins
ration. IL j. not believed that this
manifestation of spite will defeat the
OF the Cabinet selection,
out if such should be the temper OF
he Senate. President Hayes would
still be able to have his chosen add
visers in spite OF the opposition OF the
Senate, by simply giving notice that
he has no further business with that
body and thus putting an end to the
extra session.
The Times editorially says that
HAYES must let the country know
whether he is to be the passive tool OF
the evil characters that have hitherto
led the Administration party, or the
positive and untilnching leader OF a
new Administration policy which the
more liberal of his supporters have
that he would be; whether
he has courage to fight and strength to
overthrow the blame of the Morton
or not, he must do so or his adj
will utterly fail. From
this alternative ne can find no way Of
escape.
