Opposition to Gen. Chapman. Til

Opposition to Gen. Chapman The
Washington correspondent ,of .he, Baltimore
American says; r.
Among the nominations made By Pres,-
dent Cleveland since the adjournment Of Con-
eress which the Senate Will be called opon TO
consider will ,e that of Eon. Andrew G.
Chapman, nominated as collector ofinternal
revenue, to succeed the late Joseph K. Rob
erts. At the territory covered by this APP
poiatment embraces Maryland, Delaware and
the District OF Columbia, there is a very like
ly to be strong opposition to Mr.. Chapm1n's
confirmation in view Of the fact that but few
months, elaose ere a new administration will
assume the reirs Of government, when a Re
publican can be appointed.
Republicans of Delaware encouraged by
their great victory, see no reason WHY one
from their State should not be favored with
this important Office. Yet they seem to be
content to await further developments and
will be satisfied with some Of the MINOR places
under the collector. There appears to be
nothing personal against Gen. Chapman,
either as to his ability or integrity, but that,
as he is now enjoying the salary ofthe Office.
and has been ever since the death of Mr.. Rob
erts, 1t is argued that lie should be content
with that, and not fight for confirmation =
On the other hand, the friends of the coBlec4
tor will strenuously urge his confirmation. in
the hopes that he will be permitted to serve
out four years. 1t is understood from the
friends Of the collector that in all appoint-
ments to office under him during bis incpm-
bency, pre6renc will be given to Republicans
Certain it is, however, that very determined
opposition to his confirmation is croppiDg mt
with what result remains to be seen during
the short session Of the Senate bctwe.n nsxt
Monday and the 4th of March. There ia no
term of years to the commission Of colloo,o,s
of internal revenue, although they have fre-
quently been contented with fonr year, ana
