all the nominations sent in by the President

to the opposition by Democrats and Attorney

Why doesn't the President give it Quit
The President of the United States can't take
notice of such things. He would never see the end
OF his troubles if he did. Besides, the letter was
private one from me to him, and General Garfield is
not n the habit of publishing private letters which
he receives.r
The letter was yours, and you can with propri-
ETY. make it public"
Mr.. Hubbell SAID he was going to the White House,
and would get the letter if it had been preserved.
Later in the day he handed the original letter to
THE TRIBUNE correspondent, with whom il remains.
II is as follows:

The session has been an evcntful one and the re-
