OBJECTIONS TO CONFIRMING SOME OF THE
CENSUS SUPERvIsoRs.-The Senate in acting
upon nominations for census supervisors will.
as rule, be guided by the wishes and opinions
OF the Senators from each state with regard to
the confirmation for that state. OF course
where there is republican and democratic
senator from state the latter will have the
SiCdtCSt luuuCuCC VIII tIc uldJOTlUy. BuU The
democrats seem disposed to confirm the super
viSorS except In cases where they are considered
positively chieetionable because OF partisan
snip. The objections so far made seem
10 pe against supervisors selected fol;
southern states where it is charged
too many .'old carpet-bag politicians,'
have been given the preference. However. the
Tennessee delegation seem to be satisfied with
the nominations for that state The same Is
true OF Missouri, Maryland and Virginia. The
Georgia and Alabama nominations are satis-
factory with one exception; but, in Mississippi,
two are marked for rejection. The indications
are that out OF the $50 nominations for census
supervisors about 20 will be objected to by the
Senate. II is quite probable, though that some
aMiGable arrangement Will be reached between
the Secretary OF the Interior and the President
on the one side, and democratic Congressman on
the other, for the withdrawal Of objectiona-
BILE names and the substitution of others
that will be satisfactory. So far Secretary SchuH
has shown disposition to deal very fairly with
the democrats some of the latter say and in
the end, it is quite likely that the list OF nomi-
nations Will be so made up as to give sastisfac-
tion. II, however, the present list shall be In
sisted upon by the appointing power, then it is
plain that some OF them will be rejected.
SENATOR FERRY is now having Presidential
boom. Yesterday he introduced in the Senate
bill looking to sixteenth amendment to the

to be held here this week they will put him in
