INV oros,dent and the Senate.


Mr.. HoAR's speech Of Wednesday
gave the finishing blow to Mr.. ED
Mr,yps's contention. II he and DIR.
MITCHELL vote as they have said they
will vote upon the question of the con-
firmation of each nomination made by
Mr.. CLEVELAND, there will be no.
thing of the EDMUNDs resolution lett
1t will perish Of hamilton.
MIR. MORGAN made some admirable
points in his speech. One was that IL
the Senate had the right to reject the
Presidents nominees and thereby re-
store the suspended officer to oitce'
then Presidential election would de-
eide nothing as to the manner OF exc
cutting or administering the laws oil the
country. since in the case supposed
control of the Senate would also have
to be secured. What do the people
think of that? They vote to "turn
the rascals OUT" and elect President
for that purpose, who, however, finds
his purpose baked by an obstructive
Senate.
Mr.. MoRGAN's speech contained
other good points but we suppose that
the discussion is just about at an end the
President, serene and calm, smiling at
the discontinue Of his opponents.
