WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Comment on the
diplomatic nominations to-day Is that the
nominees were all Blaine men and worked
for the Secfetary's nomination last year for
President. Gent Fitzpatrick had been PROM
ised the mission TO Chill, but the Kansa,
Senators protested against the displacement
OF Osborne. Finally, after considerable pres
surse, 1t was agreed to recall Hillard and
send Osborne to Brazil. Chrstiancy was re-
called because of his divorce case and the de-
velopments against him as to the treatment
Of his wife. A large number of nomina IONS
will 90 to the Senate Tomorrow. Severa!
clerks were busy all afternoon and evening
making them out at the White House. In
regard to New York nomin ,tions it is posi-
lively stated Payne will not be renominated
for Marshal Of the Southern district of New
York, though Woodford may be renomina-
ted. Payne has been busy at Albany work.
ing industrously for the reelection Of Con-
Killing and Plat since Monday, and having
cast his fortunes with the anti-administra-
ton he will be left to share the fate of that
side. There is no longer any doubt strong
fight will be made against Conkling and
Plat and will have the sympathy of the ad-
ministration. This is justified on the e,ound
that Conkling declares he would regard his
election as a rebuke to the administration
and a commission TO make war to the end of
.Garfield's term. The policy of the admins
tration will be to elect straight Republican
Senators who will be In entire harmony with
the party on all questions. If this can't be
accomplished i'm this Legislature, then the
policy will be Ia prevent theslection Of Con-
Killing and Platt even If the Senatorial cleo
ton has TO be thrown ever to the next Legis-
lature. The administration is confident and
its confidence Is based upon assurances from
all pats OF New York, that the Republican
party Of that State sustains the nomination
Of Robertson and the Presidents cause In re-
gard TO him; that New York Republicans
now consider II their duty to prevent any d.
vision in the party, and that the only way to
do this is to support the administration.
Therefore, it is believed If the issue made by
Conkling Is submitted to the people next
fall in the choice ola Legislature they will
elect body virtually instructed to choose
Senators who will support the administration
and labor for the success Of the Republican
party. Conkling says nothing for publica-
tion about his policy, but his chief friends
gathering at Albany TO insist upon his re-
election indicates they are informed of his
purpose. He is described A. cool and game
as ever. The news that the New York SEN
ate will refuse to 90 into election, If that be
necessary to beat him, didn't excite or alarm
him. His friends say he claims to have
known the feelings and wishes Of his constit-
uents and to be fully In accordance with
them. He says &c i,as no fears of their dis
approval. Two Republican Senators talking
together to-day agreed In conclusion that
Conkling and Plat will DE beaten and that
they had not at first appreciated the full force
and strength Of the fight against them. One
Senator said II the present New York Legis-
lature were to elect he believed Conkling
would take the field In New York next fall
on issues Of his own; that he will formulate
his platform and include in 1t opposition to
monopolies and as candidate before the
people for election to the Senate he will
pledge himself If elected to devote his great
abilities freely To the interests of New York.
This Senator said he had heard Conkling
talk In that line. He had heard him speak
of the immense resources Of New York and
what far-reaching progress the Empire State
could make Ii her public men would devote
themselves to her rather than to politics on
the platform, and principles of this character.
This Senator believed men of ali parties
would probably rally TO Conkiing and send
him TO the front over all opposition.
