From the Neto York Tribune.
The cowboys who come to New York from

Then he stepped over to the cigar stand.

"Blankety blank, no." Numbered the cow

When the clerk recovered from his astonish-

with two frigid countenances. Both diamond

There are a good many nominations
which ought to be confirmed at once,
notably those of internal revenue collec-
tors. There are no objections on the part
of Republican Senators to more than two
or three Of them, and all the unobjection-
able ones would be confirmed at once if
the President or the Secretary of the
Treasury would admit that the RepuDli-
can officials whom these nominees sue
coed were removed for political reasons.
The Republican caucus resolutions set
forth that the administration must fur
nish the papers "when deemed neces-
sary," etc. In these cases the Senate is
willing to admit that the papers are not
deemed necessary, provided Secretary
Manning will remove the stigma that is
supposed to rest upon every man who was
suspended. The caucus rule is that
nomination may be confirmed if any Sem
ator can testify of his own knowledge
that there were no charges against the
suspended predecessor. II Mr.. Manning
will tell Mr.. Morrill,, therefore, that these
men were not suspended on charges, the
controversy will be ended soon; but it is
understood that he refuses TO do so, and
the Senate will have to assume that the
contrary is the case, and keep the nomina-
tions hung up. How could MIR. Manning
make such an admission as Mr.. Morrill,
wants without surrendering the very
position which the President and Demo-
cratic Senators are now defending. Mr..
Morrill, will have TO wait good while be-
fore he gets Mr.. Manning TO say that the
President has suspended any officials
simply because they were Republicans.
