 The Political! Pot Boiling.
 WASHINGTON, March 23.-The nom- inatlon of Robertson, who male such hard fight agains, Grant and Conk- ling in New York last fall, for eel. lector of the port Of New York, ere ates surprise and considerable com ment. Other nominations today, like Chandler, Merritt and Phelps. had the effect of removing the feeling among some Republicans that the President was yielding 10 the stall warts. The collector of New York can. yield more political power than any other government officer in the State. COGkiing, it Is stated, greatly preferred not tO have this power in the hands of the man who opposed him as strongly as Robertson, but it Is not believed Conkling will oppose his confirmation. The action of the President In dividing the patronage between both factions is regarded as desire to harmOnize the party in New York. Merritt, the present col lector whom Conkling fought SO hard several years ago, goes as consul gen. eral Co London.
 Since the executive session adjourn | ed this afternoon it is rumorvd that ] Conkiing and his friends are very In- ! dlgnant at the nomination e Pnber'- son, and threaten 10 oppose LIs coa- nrmatiOn.
