Washington special says: Tho state
ment that an informal invitation has been
issued to Republican senators who are sup
posed to be opposed TO the Presidents
nominations to call at the White House to
explain the reasons of their opposition be-
fore the President sends such nominations
to the Senate does not meet with current
belief here. 1t looks very nice on paper to
have the President begging senators to
please come up to the Executive Mansion
and receive his apologies for nominating
certain persons to certain offices in the
United States, but 1t is not exactly in
accord with Mr.. Cleveland's mFnner OF
doing business. There is nothing to pre-
vent any senator from calling on the Presi-
dent of the United States and stating his
objections to nomination. There is no
nand nf formal nj informal in Vitnf Hon
to do SO. From time immemorial it has
been the custom of senators who were
opposed to any particular nomination
which was to come before them In their
senatorial capacity to call upon the Presi-
dent for the purpose of explaining their
opposition. This Is not the general iule,
but 1t applies only to those senators who
are likely to accept any invitation as is inn
piled in the statement noticed.
