GRESHAM Will BE CONFIRMED.
"A Large M,Jsrisy of the senate Coucedss
ft-view of virsinia ana n. q. Senators.

lt-NteW OF vbrRintn am ~ Cs sountorss
The Worlds correspondents made on
Saturday q full and careful poll of the
United States Senate. and in spite OF the
reluctance OF senators TO discuss matter
which must be considered in executive
session. less than dozen were found who
hesitstcd to predict Judge Gresham's
confirmation practically without opposi-
ton. Those who did not Join in this pro-
phecy simply declined to express any
opinion whatever. No one was found VINO
thought the nomination would encounter
serious opposition.
OF sixty-four senators seen at the Capt.
toll to-day. ffty-tour conceded Judge
Gresnam's confirmation without even a
struggle. Ten senators did not care to
discuss the matter. OF the twenty-four re-
naming, about one half either will not be
members OF the Senate after March 18th, or
are now at home attending campaigns for
reelection. The remainder are absent
from the city.
Following are the interviews with the
Virginia and North Carolina senators
Senator Daniel. OF Virginia / have heard
OF no opposition and l do not suppose
there will be. As TO how shall vote should
not be asked and must therefore decline
to answer
Senator Hunton. of Virginia: l cannot
tell you. How should | know? | have not
talked to anybody about it. OF course. |
cannot discuss my vote.
Senator Vance, of North Carolina: Ihave
no doubt that Judge Gresham will be con-
tirmed. As to whether | will cast my vote
for him, that ls matter which is not yet
determined.
Senator Ransom, of North Carolina: /
have never heard of any opposition 10 the
selection. How | vote is matter That |
do not care TO discuss for the reason that
1t is matter that comes mp in executive
session. but there is one thing very certain
and that is that no opposition will be mani
tested

tablish the latter and recommend the
abolishing of two terms of the former.
