are susariug vengeance aud say tia, they
only want a chance and the for viii lily
one Ct these days when somebody least
expects IT, All this was caused by the
nominations which President Harrison
made to-day.
Boss Go8 and his Lieuterants Atkinson,
NcGinuis and Smith met again tins morn
ing a, uiue o'clock, aud after three or four

The President 40 once ordered the COM
missions TO be made out, and they viii
take charge lost as soon as they sre sworn
ia They will swear il very soon, be
cause they are anxious 90 draw the salary.
Just what reasons brought the nomination

congressional claimants we're opposed
20 him, bot Judge Berkshire had quite a
poll On the Presid5e, and tie Attorney
General. and iold them that his law part
uer. Mr S.u5giss, must be appointed.

called on the Attorney General who said
thst taey must decide between John
A. Hutchinson and George C. Star

that his preference was for Mr. Stureiss.
With this hint the deleg .ion withdrew
