DIRECTING TO THE CABINET.
RiddIeberger strongly Criticised for His
Unprecedented Action.

Unprecedented Action.
Special to the Globe.
WAsuISGToS, March 5.-The action OF
Senator Riddleberger in oojecting to the i'm
mediate confirmation of the senators who
had been nominated to the cabinet is con-
demucd on all sides not less by Republican
than by Democratic senators. This is the
first instance in the history of the senate
when objection TO confirmation with
out reference to committee has
ever been interposed to sitting senators
nominated to any Office. In exceptional
cases the nominations of ex-senators have
been confirmed without reference, notably
that Of ex-senator Ramsey, who WAS con-
frmed as secretary Of wagon motion Of a
Democratic senator Immediately upon his
nomination to that Office by President Hayes.
SO far as the nominations to the cabinet are
concerned, it is the usual practice of the
senate not to interpose any Objection
10 the person or persons selected, it being
considered prerogstiye Of the president
which should not be invaded. The nomi-
nation OF Adjutant General Thomas by Pres
ident Johnson TO be secretary Of war was re-
jected aud resulted in the famous impeach
ment trial. The nomination of William (.
Chandler by President Arthur TO be secretary
OF the navy was bitterly antsgouized because
OF the allegations Of uuituesS couse-
quent upon Mr.. Chandler's long
connection with John Roach as
his attorney, aud also because the senate had
previously rejecIed his nomination by Prcsi-
dent Garfield for the Office Of solicitor gen
eral. His confirmation was only secured
after 4 fierce struggle. Mr., Chandler, how
ever. turued q cold shoulder to those who
had stood his irmest friends in the matter of
his appointment aud confirmation to the
naval portfolio aud they we're thereafter
practically ignored by him.

Pandemonium Among the Suckers.

WHITE HOUSE DOORS THROWN OPEN.
President Cleveland Shakes Hands With
Many Thousand Callers.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The White house
presented busy scene to-day. A stream of
callers poured into the mansion from the
hour the doors opened until late in the day.
The president had an early breakfast aud

are being received to the ranks Of the Sc

It was resolved TO hold another convention
after the legislature meets, in order to pre-

COMMENTS ON THE CABINET.
Universal Acclaim for its Strergth-Dis-

Universal Acclaim for its strergth-Dis-
satisfaction in the West.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The comments
on the presidents cabinet are diverse. The
Eastern and Middle states Democrats
express satisfaction, but there is a wall Of
discomfort from those Of the West
One criticism is that the pres
ident in his selection jumped
from the Hudson river to the Pacific,
save the recognition of a small Northwestern
state, which cast Republican electoral vote.
There is already the cry that at the next Dem
ocratic con vention a Western candidate will
be the nominee. The fact seems to be over
looked that the East has not had president
since the days of James Buchanan. OF the
strength of the cabinet in its personality
there is universal acclaim. 1t has in it more
than enough young blood to make up
for those who may be decreed tagged" The
two selections from New York excite criti-
cisn; but it is admitted even by critics that
these two gave Mr.. Cleyeland's canvass at
Chicago their untiring efforts. The first
meeting of the new cabinet would have been
held tomorrow had the senate acted to-day
upon the nominations. 1t is now
probable 1t will be called in special
session on Saturday. The policy
of the president will be to make changes in
the offices with much delberation. Those
now here personally pressing their claims
would fare better if they remained at home.

STATE OFFICERS IN A wRANGLE.
The Iowa Governor and Auditor Continue the
Fight for Possession Of the Latter's Office.

flgnU 10r POSSESSION or the Latter'S Otlce.
Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, Ia, March 5.LThe state
house row was renewed to-day in all its
humorous grotesqueness. When Auditor
Brown was arrested Wednesday he directed
Deputy Auditor Stewart to take
charge. The latter and a clerk or
two made up couches and slept in the office
all night. This morning Brown returned to
the office and settled down to work as usual
aud by his orders the doors were guarded
against executive intrusion. At o'clock
the governor, Auditor Cottrell, Sheriff
Painter and two policemen approached the
auditors Office and demanded audi
ence. Brown was in a genial confab
with several reporters for Senator Young.
Sheriff Painter notified Deputy Stewart that
be held warrant for mis- arrest, when Stew
art went to the hall and having accepted the
service was readmitted, and informed
Brown that Painter desired to re-
arrest him. Brown went out grace
fuily and accepted the service also.
Gov. Sherman then seized the door-knob
and demanded that Brown should admit him
which the latter blandly declined to do. a
violent colloquy then eusued, ending in the
governor and Auditor Cottrell falling to get
il. Brown and Stewart then went with the
sheriff and gave bonds for preliminary ex-
animation.
Tonight BY Browns orders two clerks are
eamped down in the Office. Leading lawyers
say there is : question whether the constitu-
tion does not conhic: with the statute under
which the governor is acting. and this is un-
ders.ood will be Browns line Of defense.

Supposed FouI Play.

HURON, Oak, March 5.-Rev. w. n.
Small, pastor of the Congregational church
at Onieda, Sully county, is in town investi-
eating the mysterious disappearance of his
son Forest G.. Small, an attorney of Oneida,
who left Blunt for Harold on Dec. 4, riding
bay pony. He has never been seen since,
and he was known to carry large sums of
money about his person. Foul play is sus-
pected. A few weeks after his disappear
ance warrant was issued for his arrest ON
a charge of perjury, but it has since trans
pired to be a trumped up charge. Recent
developments have led the father to suspect
that his son was murdered by party who
is well known, and no pains will be spared
to convict the guilty party.

which has put Manning and Whitney into
the cabinet from one state and has given
Villas solitary and alone to the West will rule
them out of Mr. Cleveland's good graces
and keep them away from the official flesh
pots.
1t even occurs to me that the Chicago
election scandal and the disorganized con-
dition of the party as manifested at Spring
field in the senatorial contest now in progress
has led President Cleveland to the conclusion
that the Illinois Democrats are not entitled
to special recognition by the Democratic adj
ministration. If the Democratic party of
Illinois does not think enough of the admin
istration to give it a senator by uniting upon
and
ELECTING COL MORRISON,
the Democratic candidate for senator, can
the Democratic party of Illinois blame the
administration for not giving to the Illinois
Democracy representation in the admins
trations This is the question. Those
who justify the president for not
appointing an Illinois man to the cabinet,
lay this to Illinois grumblers and they never
make satisfactory reply. The Iowa and
Minnesota Democrats expected nothing and
they have not been disappointed. The
Michigan Democrats desired cabinet place
and assert that they were entitled to such
recognition by President Cleveland but they
are pleased with the appointment of Col.
Villas and are satisfied. Nebraska hoped to
have DR.. Miller of Omaha as her representa-
tn fha Of ha
backed by
A POWERFUL INFLUENCE
and moreover he was held in high esteem by
the president but. the Democrats OF Nebraska
like Democrats of Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey.
Connecticut and Illinois were not united
and harmonious and they therefore received
no recognition from the administration
DR.. Miller, who is here upon the business
of the national Democratic ommittee, cheer
fully accepts the situation and says the DEM
ocrats of his state will give President C!eye-
lands administration hearty sup
port. Democrats are expressing con-
siderable regret that Mr.. Lamar is to
be secretary of the interior. They are glad
he is going in the cabinet, but they wish he
and Col. Villas would change places. The
point they make is that as secretery of the
interior Mr.. Lamar will have to pass on and
reject great
MANY PENSION CLAIMS.
Any secretary of the interior would have
to do it, but it is feared that every time Mr..
Lamar makes a decision against an applicant
for apension the Republican papers will set
up howl that his confederate associations
and sympathies make him inimical to the
federal soldiers.
A Democratic congressman with a very
good war record remarked this evening that
the president would not have given the in
terror department to Mr.. Lamar if he had
understood the feeling of the Grand Army
posts. He had no doubt Mr.. Lamar would
perform his duties with absolute fairness but
Republican papers wouldn't give him credit
for it, and they would keep alive the war
feeling by their comments on his actions.

Enthusiasm for Gen. Fitzhugh.

WASHINGTON, March 5-The pageant Of
yesterday has been repeated to-day in min
iature by the parading of visiting military
and civic associations, music by bands and
over-running the departments and other
points of interest by sight-seers. The ave
nues and streets have been crowded to re-
pletion, and over 10000 people visited the
national museum to-day. No little comment
is made on the fact that at the parade yester-
day Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was received more
enthusiastically than either President Cleve-
land or Vice President Hendricks. Several
personal rencontres have ensued in conse-
sequence. In one of these several officers
of high rank came near being involved, but
for the timely interference serious trouble
doubtless heightened by the heat of wine
would have ensued. Confidential informa-
ton has been received that Gen. Watham
will not, as generally believed, succeed Mr..
Lamar in the senate, but Gov. Lowry of Mis-
sissippi will appoint Hon. VIM. A. Percy of
Greenville TO fill the vacancy. Mr.. Percy is
one of the leading lawyers of that state.

named George Street drove his wagon
against Esch's sleigh, damaging 1t badly.
Street refused to settle the damages and
Esch had him arrested. He paid a fine in
the police court and it was thought the matter
was settled. Last evening Street called at
Eschs house and after short conversation
drew large revolver from his pocket, saying
that he would shoot Esch. A fierce struggle
ensued and Esch finally obtained possession
OF the weapon, every chamber of which was
loaded Street was under the influence Of
liquor and Esch permitted him to go.
