THE REPUBLICAN SENATE.

Prominent Member Thinks Many of
Cleveland's Nominations VIII lie Rejected.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON June 15.-'T do not know, "
said Western senator to-day, when asked what
course the majority in the Senate would prob
ably pursue, ''but / think that there will un-
doubtedly be some objection to confirming
those men who have been appointed to succeed
others who were removed simply because they
were Republicans. 1t was my policy during the
last session. of Congress to insist that men who
had served the government faithfully should
not be removed except for malfeasance in office
carried this policy to the utmost extent in OBJ
jectng to the confirmation of Mr.. Arthurs
appointees in the land department. We tried
several times during the last days of the session
to agree upon some course which we
should follow in case Mr.. Cleve-
land attempted to remove Republican
officials in violation of his promise few days
after he was elected. It is untrue that any def
mite understanding was reached but there was a
sort of tacit agreement among the Republican
senators to aid Mr.. Cleveland in any legitimate
moves which he might make provided he did
not trample upon the rights of Republicans now
holding office In other words, 1 think I can
safely say that there will be no objection to the
confirmation of any officials whom Mr.. Cleveland
may appoint to fill vacancies which existed, or
which existed when he made the appointments,
but say, and I say it very emphaticaly that
there is no doubt whatever that the Republican
Senate will use its prerogative, and will reject
the nominations of men whom we have every
l. ID
publicans against whom nothing can be trumped
up, except the obsolete charge of offensive par
tisanship, and this based upon their action in
exercising their rights as American citizens and
voting the Republican ticket. I expect that we
shall have very lively time in our executive
sessions next winter, and / expect that great
many of Mr. Clevelands nominations will be
rejected"

reputation is so uEsavory that he has no social
recognition outside of his immediate family.
The young man halls from Georgia, and through
social and other influences succeeded in having
himself well ndorsed for Japanese consulship
Yesterday he was informed that the
Secretary had about decided in his
favor, and that the appointment
would probably be one of the first made. This
morning he called at the Department of State.

you have about decided to act faveraby upon
my application for consulshIp to Japan. ]

pect my commission
Meanwhile the Secretary sat staring at him
very hard. ''Do you mean to say that you are
the person whom I have selected for that posi-
tionl' inquired Mr.. Bayard, in frigid tones.
II am sir" was the Georgian's answer.
"Then am glad l saw you before you were
appointed" responded Mr.. Bayard with great
dignity; II have known you for years as one of
the most dissipated aud disreputable young men
in Washington. Notwithstanding your respect
able family name, regret to say that under no
circumstances could send you abroad in rep
resentative character" Then, turning his back
upon his visitor, Mr. Bayard quietly resumed the
work of debating to his stenographer
