WASHINGTON, Nov. H.-[Special]-It is
conceded that many nominations will fail
OF confirmation, for various reasons, which
are common to all administrations. Re-
publican Office holders who have been re-
moved upon charges of offensive partian-
ship, have been, in many instances, active
all summer, and the new appointed will be
astounded to learn that their past lives
with every blot upon their character, have
been carefully collected and presented to
the senate committee. The senate maiori-
ty had not discouraged this system because
it is deemed but fair retaliation for the Of
fensive manner in which some of the Of
ficials have been bounced. The republi-
can senators feel that they are about
ALL THERE is LEFT OF THE PARTY,
and their majority is the only check to
democratic methods not pleasing to the
rank and file of republicans. The present
majority in the senate must be maintained
at all hazards, they say, to preserve the
equilibrium of politics. About every re-
publican senator disclaims any intention
of placing stumbling block in the way of
the president, and they maintain that, no
captious opposition will be interposed in
the regular order Of changes in the offices,
but notwithstanding these assertions, a
feeling has tssl fadually hardening into
a determination that they must show their
hands soon to encourage the disconsolate
republican workers. This determination
is strengthened by the hostile attitude of
Senator Eustis and two or three others
towards Mr.. Cleveland. These disaffected
democrats will make trouble if they can,
and republican ears in high places have
already listened to their plans. If Senator
Eustice and Blackburn have any grievan-
ces against the man at the white house.
the public may rest assured that it will be
manifested in q thoroughly practical man
ner when congress assemblies
"The solid south with it's 1853 electoral
votes," said Senator Evarts the other day,
"has only to combine with the saloons of
New York and Brooklyn to capture the
empire state and control the government.
1t must be broken up, to the end that free
and fair vote can be had in every state in
the Unionw This exclamation of the dis
tinguished New Yorker shows that the re-
publican leaders are sorely troubled for the
future If this intense partisan feeling
should develop into an opposition to the
presidential appointments there would be a
good deal of uneasiness among the uncon-
frmed officials who have taken hold since
May 1st. .l~
THE ADMISSION OF DAKOTA
will be the frstlegislation which the senate
majority will insist upon, and bill is al
ready framed for that purpose. If the
democrats reject Dakota, which is appeal
ing to enter the sisterhood of states, it will
be at the expense of hundreds Of nomina-
tions unconfrmed and appropriation bills
blocked all over the north end Of the capi-
tol. Republican senators are aroused to the
imminent danger Of the party, and they are
convinced that if fight is precipitated over
Dakota, it would serve useful purpose in
keeping in line the great mass of republi-
can voters until the next election. The SEN
ate majority is eager for the fray and the
great issue of the forty-ninth congress will
be the question of the admission into the
Union Of Dakota. The senate majority
speaking for the republican party, is pre-
pared to 60 before the people on the issue.
If the democrats yield, then there are other
questions for agitation, and agitation is nec-
essary for republican cohesion.
AMERICAN SHIPPING,
the republicans say, is asking for fair play,
and the senate majority may attempt to re-
habilitate Roach's ship yard, while asking
that the national flag be not crowded off the
seas. The postmaster general will be di-
rected to distribute the subsidy voted to the
American steamships, and that foreign bot
toms be dispensed with In carrying United
States mails. II will be to keep in fighting
trim that the republican senate will invite
a conflict with the navy and postoffice de-
partments. a. 55t& ~ -
Meanwhile the president is serene in the
belief that no troublesome antagonism will
develop between the two houses of con-
gress or between the senate and himself.
He has many friends among the republican
senators, and he is not disturbed by any
shadows which alarmists may see impend-
ing. He may be too sanguine, but he is
credited with the honesty Of his conyic-
tions. sFg
