Dltter enemy, controls enough
Democratic votes in the Senate to
defeat any such nomination, with
the aid of the Republicans who
have sworn to allow no one but
Packard to be confirmed. 1t is stat
ed that if Wells and Anderson
would name Allen he would be
nominated. This rumor is sup
posed by the fact that
both Wells and Anderson
heretofore have opposed Packard's
appointment. 1t is denied posi-
lively both at the White House
and by the members of the Cabi-
net that Nichols has demanded
the removal of Wells and Ander-
son from their Custom House ap-
pointments as the price of Ander-
sons pardon. There is beginning
to be considerable anxiety felt lest
no pardon should be granted, al
though several Cabinet officers
have expressed faith in Nicholls's
intentions to grant one. The Leg
islature adjourns next Wednesday,
and, to be effective, the pardon must
be confirmed by the Senate before

can be announced as certain that
no nomination for Collector will be
sent into the Senate until after the
Louisiana Legislature adjourns,
and 1t is stated that the President
will wait until Williamson arrives
from Central America, in order to
consult him before another ap-
pointment is made.

Talk About the silver Measure.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The
President is unusually irgitated and
nettled by the summary disposition
oi his veto. He said to a Senator
yesterday that he did not expect
such indecent haste. He did not
suppose that two-thirds of Congress
would forget what respect was due
the EXECUTIVE. The Senator re-
piled warmly: "Some of us in Con-
gress, Mr.. President, consider our
conduct quite as respectful to you
as your conduct in vetoing o bill
which more than two-thirds of the
representatives of the people do
manded should become the law.
You must have learned by this
time that Congress does not pass
bills for the Executive to play
with"

close relations with the President,
criticised to him yesterday the part
of his message relating to fraud,
