THE APPOINTMENTS,
Senator Camden Thinks the Rspub-
Iicans Will Holly Oppose
The Confirmation Of President
CIsvsland's Appointments.
Mc'Graw's Name Likely to be Con-
firmsd at Any Rate.
Specidl 10 tie Sunday ReeiSsr.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. l9.-I called
on Senator Camden to-day, he has been
confined to his house for nearly two weeks
and has only been able to be at the Capitol
one day since Congress convened. While
the Senator has not the appearance Of q
sick man, it does not take more than FIVE
minutes conversation to learn that the
Senator is sufferer.
Yesterday he went out for the first time
this week, and got as far as the Treasury
Department. After making several calls
there, he became fatigued and was com.
PEELED to return home.
Speaking Of the delay in sending the
nomination of McGraw to be Collector Of
Internal Revenue to the Senate, Mr.. Cam
den said that he did not think that it would
be sent in until after the holiday recess.
BE seemed to incline to the opinion that it
is the intention of the Republican Senators
to make as violent opposition to Mr.. Cleve.
lands appointments as they can. he has,
however, no fears of the result in Nc
Grsw's case. So far very few OF the
names ofthose appointed Internal Revenue
Collectors during the recess have been
sent to the Senate. There are are three
for Indiana, one Of which will probably be
made a test case.
Senator Harrison will probably antago-
nize Senator Voorhees, in the confirmation
Of ]. 0. Henderson, Of the Kokomo dis,
rict. Mr.. Camden says that he rather
prefers the issue should be made on some
other man than McGraw.
Mr.. Kenua is quoted as saying that so
for as McGraw's case is concerned when ii
is reached, enough Republican Senators
have pledged their support to insure his
confirmation.
Mr.. Camden said TO- lay that in the event
of any obstinate opposition on the. part OF
Republican Senators to the nominations
already pending, President Cleveland will
commence at once to rattle in the ap,
pointments just as fast as it is possible to
do so that tbs more violent the opposition
Of the Republicans the better it Will be for
the Democratic party. Mr.. Camden is an
ardent admirer of Mr.. Cleveland and is
strongly impressed with the idea that he lie
going to turn the rascals out, no matter
whether the Republican Senators are
pleased or not
So for as Postmaster Simpson is con-
cerned, Mr.. Camden says that he heard OF
no opposition to his confirmation. Still
there are rumors plenty that there will be
opposition to the confirmation Of both the
new postmasters at Wheeling and Pied
mont.
