PARTISAN BLINDNESS.
Three Senators Who May Oppose
Judge Dallas.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-It is said that
there is disposition on the part of
some Republican senators to resist the
confirmation of Mr.. Dallas, of PennSyl-
vania, one of the Democrats nominated
by President Harrison this week for a
circuit judgeShip. The opposition is
SAID to come from Senators Quay and
Cameron, seconded by Senator Higgins,
of Delaware. In regard to this appoint
ment Senator Higgins said he cOnsid-
cred that the president had made a
grievous error in the appointment of
a Democrat to that place on a Penn
sylvania circuit.Trhe equilibrium of two
parties had been secured, he thought,
by the appointment of Chief Justice
Fuller and others by Mr.. Cleveland.
There was no danger, he said, that
there would be too many Republicans,
for the parties were so evenly divided
that there was no opportunity for a
change at any time. The senator did
not want to be considered as rejecting
upon the president i'll any way what
ever.

Senator Davis seems to be sure of Civ

as it is stated at the pOstotfice depart
ment that Senator Washburn's indorse-
ment is not filed. This is presumed to
be because Davis has not asked Wash

very friendly to Castle. and Will be
pleased to see him appointed. 1t is pos
siDle, too, that Far gO's postmaster Will

FOUGHT TO PAY TAXES.
Cincinnati Citizens Engage in a
RiOtOus Scramble.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 1S.-A riot was
narrowly avoided in the county treas
urer's office here this morning, The
widest excitement prevailed for half an
hour aud police had to be called to dis

paid Dec. l, but owing to the
unavoidable delay to-day was the first
day OH which they could be received.

gathered in front of the court house
waiting for admission and when the

rush to the tTeaSurer'S office.

cent will accrue. a number of part-
tons were smashed in the wild scram-
bic, and the crush was SuffOcating. Five
women and man tainted and were
passed out over the heads of the crowd.
People were Wedged in the struggling
mass so that they could scarcely
breathe. One woman became hySter-
zeal, and 4 man near smashed a heavy
$50 pane of plate glass, and through
the opening made she was taken to the
auditors office and attended to. Men
fought and swOre and struggled furi-
Ously to get at the receiving clerks.
While the tumult was at its height
the city's money was hastily put into the
safe ana locked up, as there seemed to
be an inclination on the part Of some of
the crowd TO make a rush for it. A call
for police was sent out by the clerks,
and two patrol wagons and fourteen
men responded. In the midst of the
noise and struggle County Commissioner
Staler jumped upon the railing, and
quietd the crowd by telling them that
the time would be extended to Jan. 10.
Upon this the crowd gave a cheer,
and, the police arriving just at this
time, the room was cleared, and bust
ness proceeded quietly. Then Mr..
Staler hastily called special meeting
of the county commissioners, and issued
an official order extending the time of
payment to Jan. 10. Notices to this
effect were posted. Pickpockets stole a
