\ Senator, usually regarded as one Oh

stated Sunday that the movement in behalf
Of ex-senator Sargent for Secretary OF the
Interior proceeded from without, rather
than within; in other words, that the de.
STABILITY Of placing Sargent in the Cabinet
was being considered more by Sargents
friends than by the administration, and some
rather p,inted comments were made upon
the indelicacy Of Sargent personally urg-
ing upon his former associates on the t,oor
Of the Senate his claim for a Cabinet posi-.
ton. Among the objections urged against
him are: It was by his personal advice
and procurement that the notorious WON.
an SUFFRAGE law of Utah, which qurdrupl,d d
the voting power of the Mormon Church,
was approved bv the Governor, who
had an absolute power Of veto, and thus be-
came law; and that 1t was by his efforts
in the Senate In 1879 that the bill intro.
duced BY Senator Frelinghuysen, which
proposed the most practical solution of the
Mormon question, was defeated, and that
it was Sargent who had stricken out OF the

Republicans are much encouraged at this
and say the confering Of woman's right
will be one Of the most important issue

Republicans. however, voted for the com
mittee, as a way of giving women fai
hearing and not as favoring franchise.
