THE NEW YORK NOMINATIONS sent to the Senate
yesterday, although of apparent minor interest
here, seemed to be fruitful subject of gossip and
comment among many Of the New York polite
lanS about the hotels and at the Capitol this
ing. The half-breeds appeared to think th9t they
were made in the interest of the ''Stalwarts, and
that, If this continued in the future all sorts OF
dreadful things would happen politically in the
state OF New York.
SUCCESSOR TO Mr. DEFREEs.-It was currently re-
ported at the Capitol to-day that the nomination
of s. p. Rounds, OF Chicago for public printer,

March, 1888. The legislature when it elects Sen

probably elect Representative Belford, member
OF the present House.
