vote. with tho exception Of Mr.. Goebcl. who
voted with the Democrats to confirm.
Immediately after the Senate resumed its open
session the Governor sent in the name Of Mr..

county for the place Mr.. Clark was ap-
pointed by Gov. Tilden in the win
ter OF 1876 to nll Il vacancy In the
Board OF Inspectors OF State Pr occasioned
hv the death OF NJ. X. Pla,t The ability mani
tested by him during tho short time that he
filled that position attracted the attention OF
persons interested in reform in prison man
ngement in this State. and after Mr.. Pilsbury
was confirmed rs Superintendent Of State
Prisons his first act was to offer Mr.. Clark the
position OF Agent and Warden at Sing sing
Prison which he accepted. and he has been Mr..
pilsburys earnest supporter in carrying on; the
reforms In the management of our state prisons.
There is a very general expression ot opinion
to-day that Mr.. Clark will bo confirmed. ono
Republican Senator expressed Willingness 10
wager 81 900 to 800 that such would be tho re-
suit. but rs his name was not Pomeroy or
Mccarthy, he Is liable TO be- mistaken. and what
the result will DO cannot be determined until
those Senators have heard from the men they
represent. II is certain that Mr.. Clark belongs
10 that particular school" known us Tildcn
Democrats. though he was not as active parti-
san as Fairchild and Magone. and for this rea-
son he must be Objectionable TO that other ele-
ment In both the Republican and Democratic
parties that succeeded in defeating the Gov
ernor's three first nominees for this position.
But tho cool-headed leaders in the Republican
party are aware that there Is point In their
opposition to the Governor beyond which they
cannot 20 without forcing the people to believe
hat the assertion made in behalf OF the Gov
.rnor. that III ey have formed an alliance with
the Canal Ring to defeat any man who was
prominently connected with Gov. Tilden's war
uron that band. is not without foundation.
The nomination. in accordance with tho
rule established by the Republican majority
Mt the opening OF the session. was sent
70 the Canal Committee which will give
an opportunity to organize an opposition
70 him IL tho leaders again decide to reject.
Several Republican Senators have. however. de-
clared their determination TO force the matter
70 an early vote--somc say tomorrow. II posi-
ble-and If they succeed it is safe TO say that he
will be unanimously confirmed. Should the
manipulators OF Legislators decide to try TO de-
feat him. you may look for bolt in the Repub-
lican ranks and. in any event his confirmation
may be regarded rs almost certain
