There is q good deal of gossip here
concerning coming appointments to ali
vacancies In the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and of Circuit judges, and
| so on. But there is high authority for
saying that the President will make no
appointments until Congress meets.
| The p resident has received many dele
| cations and an extraordinary number
| of recommendation in favor nf candi-
dates for these places. For two vacan-
cies on the Interstate Commission the
names OF Judge Dill, of Iowa, and ex-
| Assistant Secretary Of State Porter, OF
| Tennessee, are the most prominent
mentioned. Judge Dill was class
mate of the president at Miami college,
and he has all the qualifications neces-
saIy to fill the place. Judge Porter
would be appointed as q democrat.
| Representative Culberson. OF Texas,
and ex-Mayor Glenn, of Atlanta, are
also talked of for the place. Mr.. Gull
berson would prefer to be one of the
circuit court judges, and it is thought
that he will be nominated for a judge.
| Some of the New York papers are
talking about making an effort to get
the national republican convention
called to meetiu the Tammany strong
hold. There is not the least prospect
of any such movement meeting with
success. The Nebraska senators are
here working for Omaha. Minnesota

Minneapolis. A special train of
"boomers" for that place will arrive
here the end of next week. st. Paul

Whateveramay be the views of Otto
politicians, it is not at all difficult to state
what the opinions OF republicans out
side of Ohio are as to the senatorial
election in that state. They are most
decidedly with Mr.. Sherman. The VIC
tory in Ohio is not regarded as simply a
triumph for Major Mckinley and pro-
lection, it is considered fully as much
a victory for honest money, and, as
John Sherman represents this phase of
the contest better than any other man,
his reelection would appropriately
crown the victory. That at least is the
opinion which Is expressed by nearly
every prominent republican who has
discussed the subject at Washington.
The only arguments the republican op.
ponents of Senator Sherman have to
offer are his age and the length of time
he has been in public life. As he Is 6s
years old, ard has represented Ohio in
the house of representatives, the senate,
or the cabinet for over thirty-fiye years,
the claim is made that he ought to re-
tire, and, as the phrase goes. "glve a
younger man n chance" John Sher-
man Is q dozen years the junior
of men who are taking leading
part in European politics and shaping
the destInies of empires. representa-
tive opinion here is that the withdrawal
of Senator Sherman from public life in
the near future would be national
calamity, and would come AS near 10
being an irreparable loss as any change
of representation IN Congress could IN
iiict.
1t can be said, also, that the sugges
ton, which apparently comes from the
Foraker people, that Brce shall be un-
seated in order that both Foraker and
Sherman may he elected, Is not re-
garded as serious here. 1t will be
easier TO talk about unseating Brlce
than TO accomplish that result. His
credentials have already been present
ed to the Senate, his name has been
put Jpn the rolls, and he has been
drawing his salary since the 4th oi
last March. When the Senate meets
on the first Monday in December Mr.
Brice will appear to be sworn in. This
would be about month before the
session of the Ohio legislature, and any
objection made tn his taking the oath
would have TO be = purely informs

tance to receive recognition in the sen
