At Resal in excavating ground for

ships, long buried in the earth, have

Last Tuesday, after protracted session, the
Republican senatorial caucus reached deci-
sion to go into executive session, the order of
business to DO the referring of uncontested
nominations to committees, the consideration
of treaties, and action on nominations already
favorably reported. An ''uncontested" NOM
ination, IT is stated, is one upon which both
senators from state agree. Anomination to
which one Republican senator from tho state
in question objects is contested" nomina-
ton. This, of course, is intended to cover
Conkling's fight against Robertson. In ac-
cordaDoe with this decision, when the Senate
met on Wednesday Mr.. Dawes moved an ex-
ecutive session, preceding his motion with q
speech in which he declared that the Repub-
licans yielded nothing, and that they went
into executive session simply to confirm es-
sential nominations after which they will take
up the old fight with renewed vigor. In the
executive session limited number of nomi-
nations were confirmed, and the Chinese trea-
ties were considered
That it is the formal purpose of the Repub-
licans TO renew the deadlock fight when the
executive business is disposed of is undoubt-
eddy the case, but whether the Republican list
of Senate officers, over which the fight has
been made, is ever elected is another ques-
ton. Gorham's candidacy has all the time
been distasteful to many Republicans, and
since the star-route investigation has come up
he has persistently insulted and abused the
president through his paper, the Washington
Republican, in way which has made the
country hope that the Republicans of the Sem
ate will summariy drop him. Senator Haw-
ley of Connecticut bluntly says that he never
ming Gorham was not fit candidate, and the
quicker he is dropped now the better it will
suit the people.
Public interest will now centre in the con-
test over the confirmation of Mr.. Robertson
as collector at New York. Mr.. Conkling is
said to have specifically announced in the SEN
ate caucus that he will use every effort to de-
feat Robertson's confirmation, and, if neces-
sary, will carry the contest into open session
of the senate and publicly arraign the presi-
dent for wanton breach of faith. This atti-
tude of unparalleled insolence and dictation
on Conklng's part has aroused the indigna-
ton and disgust of the country, and it would
unquestionably cause general feeling of sat
isfaction in the Republican ranks to see the
party leaders in the Senate unite and crush
this would-be overbearing despotism of one
man. There are very many earnest Republi-
cans who doubt the wisdom of the presidents
course in removing Collector Merritt in the
middle of his term, but at the same time they
feel that it may better be decided at the out
set whether Mr.. Garfield or Mr.. Conkling is
president Mr.. Conkling sulked through the
four years of Mr.. Hayes administration, and
the Republican party survived the calamity.
1t will undoubtedly survive if he chooses to
sulk through the four years of Mr.. Garfeld's
| farm
