sistant secretary of the treasury, vice
Isaac |. Maynard, resigned.
In executive session of the Senate,
the nominations were ordered referred
TO the appropriate committees when
formed. There was some surprise ex-
pressed at the failure to confirm ex-
Senator Palmer's nomination at once,
but senator explained that the
rule OF immediate combinations.
save of the cabinet, was confined to SEN
ators. Mr.. Palmer is not now "a senator,
and while every senator, it is said,
wanted to vote for him, it was deemed
best not to depart from the rule, and his
nomination went with the rest.
The nomination of Mr.. Tchenor as
assisi ant secretary of the treasury was
of .uly Cd Nv hn III.
and they rather object to his being
charged up as part of the states quota
of Offices. Secretary Window told one
of the congressman from thet state that
Mr.. TchenOr's appointment was his
own, and should not be charged to any
particular state. Mr.. Tichenor's fitness
is conceded by all.
Ex-senator Palmer said his nomina-
ton was sent in without his knowledge,
and he was uncertain whether or not
he would accept. A gentleman, who is
in his confidence, said he did not think
the ex-senator would 90 abroad, but the
opinion privails that be will accept the
honor rendered in this unsolicited
manner.
