COAST LEADERS IN THE DUMPS.
Four Slope Senators aud Justice Field
R-ga'd Themselves Presldentialiy Ig-


From TIE Nelo York World.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The two Cali
forBla and the TWO Nevada Senators have
a special grievance against the President
They claim that he has treated them with
scant courtesy, and that in one particular
case, where the four Senators united in
saying that a certain appointment would
be personally obnoxious 10 them, the
President ignored their objection, al
though their request was egatlve one
and there was no suggestion of any name
for the place. Senator Stanford has not
found that bis millions have been able to
help him TO the slightest favor with the
President.
In the same way the President has ig-
nored the suggestion of Justice Field, who
sits as Circuit Judge in the Pacific Coast
Circuit when the Supreme Court is not in
session. 1t has been a custom for many
yeas for the Supreme Court Justice sit
ting in this circuit to control the appoint
ment of Marshal. This is said to have
been the rule since Lincoln's time. JUS
tice Fields suggestion in the matter, ia
yoring Mr.. Maynard, was ignored, and
man named Franks was appointed. 1t
is now said that the California Senators
will resist Franks confirmation. tits pos
sibe that Justice Field will have enough
influence with the Senate Judiciary Com
mlttee 10 prevent report in favor of Mr.
Franks. 1t is not true That Justice Field
has said that he would never enter the
White House again. Still, it is not rea-
sOnabe to suppose that he feels specially
we'll pleased with his treatment at the
hands OF the President He is the only
Democrat upon the Supreme Court bench,
aud it was expected when the admins
tration changed hands that he would be
co suited about many questions of policy
outside OF any talk of patronage. But he
has not been consulted as much since
March last as he was by the Republican
administration.
A friend OF Mr.. Cleveland said today
"There is a good deal OF point in the Presi-
dents ignoring the requests OF public
men. He has learned that none of them
really care anything for him, and that
they are ready u take every advantage OF
him. All of his bad appointments he can
trace directly 10 The suggestions OF some
public man. You would be right in say.
Ing that the President regards public men
With suspicion. He has good reasons fuI
such a view. He is not going To- try and
please them. He knows be could not il
ue tried. He knows that his strength is
with me people, and that he cannot bt
/ popular Win tae politicians. Mr. Cleve-
land is looking beyond the circle Of the
" aShington politicians for his support
and approval. As long as he holds The
! people tue politicians will have to come
| TO him."

vices were received in Augusta to-day
that the indictment in New York against

the case against MIR. Roberts in New
