Democratic Opposition to Chandler.
Some of the most prominent Democratic
senators have been urging upon their col

doubtless, very thorough discussion. Bay

position to him, but express no confidence Of
being able to bring their party friends solidly
to their support. Sherman says there is no
doubt about Chandler's confirmation. The
New Hampshire senators assert that the
confirmation will be made without serious
difficulty, and that Republican vote will
be against it.
