ALnAvY. Jan. 15.-Govcrnor Cornell received the
unusual compliment to-day of the conhrma-
tion by the Senate as soon as they were
| announced of number of nominations Tor
| very impnrfant State offices. This prompt
action of the Senate eliectually disposes o. the
! statement industriously circulated by Democratic
| newspapers and also by newspapers IN sym-
pathy with that party to the effect that many
! of the Republican Senators were hostile to Gov
ernor Cornell and would strcnuosly resist the CON
! Grmaton of a large proportion oi The nominations he
intended 10 make. There is not the slightest dispo-
sition on the part Of any OF the Republican Senators
10 oiler a factious opposition to the Governor IL
durinr the session his nominations are 10; con
/ frlhed at once, the delay by the Senators may be
iu.tly attributed 20 "a desire their part to inform
themselves thoroughly about thc nominees; ana Will
not be nmtenuonal display Of disfe-pec. TO him. At
tbe start at least the froudlic-t feelings prevail
/ botwc,n H., Republican in the Executive Chamber
and fine Ropublicans in the Legislature. The
nominations were p.c.eutcl by II. L. Abel. Private
Secretary Of the Governor TO The Senate about noon.
