ng to vote with the majority of their party asso-


ciates.
This discovery seems TO have caused an i'm
mediate change OF tactics. motion was made by
one Of Mr.. Conking's friends and supporters that
the whole subject be referred back to the Commit
tee on Commerceswith instructions that thorough
investigation should be made of the questions
which had been raised by the correspondence sub
mtted to the Senate by both sides.
Democratic Senators say they We're assured that
# this motion carried, new report would be
made on the nominations during the remainder Of
the present session but that the Democratic Senate
which will convene after The 4tn of next month
should have the settlement of the whole matter II
is difficult 20 believe that any such assurance
was authorized by NJ. ConhliDg, or that he was IN
any way party 10 the suggestion; but II IS most
certainly fact that the Democrats were privately
informed that if they would agree to postpone the
whole matter they would be allowed 70 settle II m
their caucus in the next Congress. Tins vas bait
that almost caught the opposition.
When the motion was read there were shouts
from the Republicans who followed Mr.. Coukling
aud from many on tAe other side of the chamber
that that was just what ought to be done. " Yes
they said. 'let NJ r-f,r the whole matter back
aud have a full and complete investigation That
Is what ought 20 have been done IN the first place
