and 10 confer that power upon one OF
two Senators in each State. If " uncoDtosted
nominations" are to be considered first, each
senator viii first cause to be confirmed all the
nominations which suit his selfish interests or
private likes and dislikcs, and keep the others
hanging to tho end. Finally it will come to
pass that. each Senator having secured all the
favors that he can, q clique Of Senators may
be formed TO please each other by defeating
the nominations TO which each objects, aud
thus compelling the President to select some
body else. As for Senatorial courtesy" that
means that any Senatorial boss who succeeds
I'm owning his colleague, or, AZ the next best
thing, in elccting Democratic colleague, shall
have given TO him exclusively for one state
that power Of selection which the Constitution
pi~es to the President. The people not only
understand these rules, but detcst them, as
mart of the machinery by which it is hoped
70 make Senatorial bosses the masters Of the
people. Hence the honest voters-"the PLAIN
people"-of this country sincerely hope that
the President may succeed in defeating all
rules which aim to deprive him of his consti-
tutiopal power. Senators will make fatal
mistake if they forget that the President Is
elected by the people, as Senators are not

The second difficulty in the way is the lack of

fashion, evidently without any desire to force

emily. 10 but ore decision-one adverse to the
claim that a Senator can dictate to the President
in the exercise Of his constitutional functions.
The most notable speeches on the side OF
" Senatorial courtesy so-called were made
by Mr.. COnkling and General Logan.
Both of these laid great stress upon the
argument that the President could no DC
allowed to dictate 10 the Senate. Consid-
ering that the origin of the whole trouble Is
the attempt of single Senator, and ono OF
these very Senators, to dictate TO the lre'I-
