seen about the matter, declined to sign. al
though he said he would not make report
against the confirmation. The impression
in the senate Is that there will be some dis.
cussion over the case. Conkling has some
strong friends among democrats. Voorhees,
spoke in his favor, and Harris, Cockrell and
other democrats are counted among his
friends. Present indications are that only
two or three votes will be cast against him.
Several democrats have stated that they
will vote for him.
NOT CREDITED.

the president and signitied his desire of the
appointment Of Clarence Seward to the

II Mr.. Conkling has signifsd his declina-
ton to the president the senate has not yet
received any notice of the fact, and here 1t
Is not believed that Conkling has indicated
his purpose yet. Several attempts to or
ganize an opposition to Conkling In the
senate have been made, but all without sue
cess. There was some talk this morning OF
democratic opposition, but senators on
that side are evidently not disposed to
make any fight. Leading democratic
senators were advised that IL they could
get their side of the chamber to oppose
Conkling enough republicans would Join
to reject him, and some democrats favored
such coalition.
