WARRINGTON, March II, lSo3.--The
political otcut q the week is the def.
aucs Of MIR. Cleveland by the snti. Glove.
land democratic senators, exhibited in
tho reorganization Ct the senate commit
tues. There can be- nc doubt the sena
tors acted with the deliberate intention
Of putting themselves in n position to
get even with Mr. Cleveland |! he refuses
10 give them what they consider their
share OF tho patronage. While 1t Ia the
make mp OF tho committee on finance
tlias Is most talked about, because it
will havo charge of the tariff and
all financial bile, there is not single
important committee that is not domin-
ated by senators known to hold views
directly opposed to thoae Of Mr.. Cleve-
laud on number Of subiects;uad among
democrats tho threat has been frequent
ly made that Mr.. Cleveland would be
in every attempt hs mikes to
secure legislation unleas he recognizes
tho "iniiuence' Of the senators TO n
much greater extent than he has yet
shown any disposition to do.
1t would DO folly to say that Mr.
Cleveland enjoyed being dosei with his
own medicine; he doesn't. But being II
fighter OF tho most obstinate sort it is
not probable that he will allow himself
10 DO 30 easily conquered by tho sena-
tore. Tho Impression is that he will
give the senators responsible for this al
.ront to him c:ihhcc. to see how they
ike being entirely without influence in
the distribution Of tue federal patronage.
II they roiuse to confirm hio nomins
tons ho will simply allow tho republi
can incumbents to 'enaiu in Office, thus
placing the responsibility Tor the faiure
OF the democrats to get tho Offices upon
the senators. y democratic senator.
f,iendly to Mr. Cleveland, in con versa.
lion with a personal friend, made the
prediction tina. before halt Of his term
has expired Mr.. Cleveland will DO open
iy depending upon the republican sena-
tots for support. One thing is certain
the republican senators do not propose
to allow themselves TO DO used by either
side to ~hack tNo other over the Eeat
They will IS u rule act as a unit and
