Senatorial circles yesterday was tne speecn
of Senator Edmunds in the Republican
caueus. The original cause of the trouble
was the consideration of the nomination Of
Chandler. Hale Of Maine, acting for
Blaine, was vehement in his demand that
the Republican Senators should rally to
the support Of Chandler. He pointed out
the fact that the Democratic Senators were
nearly solid against Chandler. He thought
that this fact ought to be enough to show
the Republicans their line of action. Then
by insinuations, Hale made an attack upon
the Senate Judiciary Committee, alleging
that it had been biased in its action by a
desire to crafty the personal spite Of Mr..
Conkling. This sort Of talk brought out
Edmunds. He electrified the caucus by
stating that he, for one, would resign his
seat on the Judiciary Committee if Chand-
Ter is confirmed. The senator had gone
far enough in challenging the integrity Of
the committee. Senator Edmunds then,
in his most bitter and sarcastic fashion, re-
viewed Chambers position at the capitol.
No man recognizes him as a lawyer. He
is a bold, INSCRIPTIONS lobbyist, a man OF
dUlllby, Uub uOtOll UuSl Hull Ills Clubo lcia-
tons with nearly every prominent job
ever brought before Congress. To put him
in the high Office Of Solicitor General
would be-. in effect, to place the Depart
ment of Justice at the disposal Of the most
powerful rings in the country. Edmunds
said that Chambers reputation was also
an insult to the Attorney General, who
would not remain in the Cabinet If he
should be confirmed.
Bringing About n Compromises.
CHICAGO. May 1.-THE Journals Wash
ington special says: Several Republican
Senators, heretofore known as friends Of
Senator Conkling, but now extremely
anxious to maintain friendly relations with
the President, have not abandoned all
idea Of bringing about a compromise be-
tween these two over Robertson's nomina-
ton. The prevailing opinion, however, is
that the time has passed for any satisfac-
tory arrangement or reconsideration, and
the Senate will be forced to dispose Of the
nominations at this session. One OF the
| Senators appointed by the Republican eau
Gus to talk the matter over with the Presi-
dent, says the latter was at first inclined
| to transfer Judge Robertson to some other
/ oAASCs RAOFAdC0 OOAAhAAA6 WoaAa 06At0 NV
to oppose the other name sent in for Col
tector, which would be that Of q man iden-
tilted with the anti Conkling element in
New York. When assured his proposition
would be acceptable to Conkling the Pres
ident wavered and finally gave expression
to suspicious that he would become in
volved in a political trap. While the mat
ter was under consideration, however, it
leaked out through the newspapers, and
then the President announced that he
would not accept it, but would let the
matter remain for the Senate to dispose Of.
The President has made known that he
will not withdraw the nomination Of Vim.
E. Chandler, as he has been urged to do.
Conkling ON Newspaper Attacks.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Ssveral Repub.
lican Senators have called on the President
for another attempt at compromise. beg
gina him to withdraw Robertson and let
Merritt remain. These negotiations have
been very much embarrassed by the attacks
Of the Conkling organs. One Republican
Senator visited Conkling this afternoon.
and asked if he thought it good policy to
make attacks while protesting q desire to
avoid a conflict. Conkline asserted upon
his personal honor that he had not dictated
or furnished one line Of these attacks. He
declared that the New York publication of
Wednesday was an ingenious compilation
from newspaper files for six months, and
he was not advised in advance Of it's prepa-
ton. This assurance will be- conveyed to
the President tomorrow. 1t Is generally
believed that Gorham wrote the articles,
and must have derived the information
from Conkling. A close friend of the Pres.
ident says the article may be traversed in
q few days, when the President is freed
from anxiety about his wife. The Presi-
dent will give the lie direct to any man who
says he promised Morton the Treasuryship.
