Chinese treaties, and soon afterwards the
confirmation of substantially all the nom
nations to which no formidable OBJ
lection is made. There will then stand
in the way OF final adjournment
the contest over the pending resolution for
the election of Senate officers, and probably
not more than six or eight contested nomina-
items, such as those of Stanley Matthews,
Don Pardee, William Z. Chandler and Judge
Robertson's. Il is now considered probable
that some at least of the Republican Sena-
tors opposed to certain nominations will de-
sire to have them hung up until next winter,
and there are several Senators on the Demo
cratic side ready to come forward with sort
Of compromise proposition, which, if
adopted, would have that effect, and also end
the struggle over the Senate officers.
They viii say to the Republicans,
we have joined you in overcoming
the deadlock IN the executive business by
agreeing 10 confirm uuobjectionable nominal
items. Now let Us all adopt the same course
in regard TO the Senate officers. Riddleber-
ger and Gorham are az Objectionable to Us as
Robertson and Matthews are to some of your
side, and we will not permit you to force
them upon us. Nominate unohjsctionable
Re oublicans for Sergeant-at-Arms end Secre-
tary. and we will make no opposition to their
election. You can thus elect your officers,
the Senate can adjourn, and we will all so
that the Republican caucus would
consent to any such proposition for a change
of candidates, but although this is undeniably
true, it is by no means improbable that the
contest will at an early day be quietly al
lowed to go by the board /" and drift over
to the next session together with the con-
tested nominations /; for upon the approach of
hot weather, and after the bulk OF executive
business shall have been disposed of, the SEN
ate will undoubtedly dwindle in numbers
from day to day, and as the total attendance
diminishes, the chances CT an accidental or
intentional absence of some Republican and
the quickly consequent adjournment sine die
may be confidently expected, until some day
or other the adjournment may abruptly &C.
