Ms.deut. 50 far gs party politlc-
"a concerned, that the country ha'
~ N bad. There are various reasons
h this is believed. AR Cleveland
nominated against ihe wishes Of
the so-called bosses Of his ,ptr v.
at together with the unusually
be electoral vote he received has
bsed him TO feel that ie Is under
obligations to the patty machine,
|her for his nomination or his elcc
bn, and he has taken no pains to
mccall the state of his feelings. Il
g probably because he didn't know
bt the important Senate committees
@eanized on an anti-Cleve
d basis. Another thing
Itch makes him independent, and
Itch would have the same efec
Jon all Of our presidents if more
Ban one term was forbidden by The
institution, is that he isn't laying
ires to be renomiuated.
D. costs something to be indepcnd
u in the Senate. Mr. Stewart, q

epublican party without either be

bs rousted from the committee on
appropriations, membership of which
considered equal to the chairman
Zip of a less important committee.
the Republican caucus and hi
Iace given TO Senator Teller of Col
fado. The Democratic caucus wa
inder 60 him, ms it left him chair
ban of the committee on Mines and
lining, a place he held during the
pm which ended March 4.
The re organization of the Senate
bmmittees, made necessary by Dem
tratic control of that body, has beer
bmpleted. II does not satisfy all Of
be Senators; it never does, because
b caucus committee can give every
enator just the committee place he
tants, and to which he thinks him
elf entitled. But it comes as Dea
Ewing satisfaction rs anybody ex-
|ected it would. Considering the
|eculiar position occupied by the
Iopulist Senators, between the Dem
cratic majority and republican min
bity, they Jared tolerahly well.
Zach of them got a craftsmanship, tn
best one-education and lahor-go-
BIZ TO Mr.. Kyle. Although Senator
Roach, of North Dakota, was given ,
binor craftsmanship by the Dem
|cratic caucus there is an impression
bat the exposure of his connection
Nth the bank embezzlement in this
Fly will result in his firing from
|he Senate, either will ingly or un-
killiugly although he says he is go
big to serve out his term.
The appointment mill is grinding
Eery slowly and the grist turned out
) all of the Cleveland brand Among
|he nominations this week was Mr.
Edward b. Whitney, of New York,
70 be assistant attorney general. He
|vas one of the protesting delegation
BENT to the Chicago convention by
|he New York anti-snappers, and
here il some talk about his nomina
ion being opposed 10y Senators Hill
knd Murphy. Senator Hill is in e
good position to make a fight against
|his nomination, if he is disposed, at
be is a member Of the Judiciary com
hittee, to which it has been REFER
3D.
The nomination Of ex- Congressmai
DIcAdoo, TO be assistant secretary Of
he navy brings a little encourage

bers of which have been in a gloomy
state of mind because of the Motif
cation that they must not expec
places.
IL is denied at the White Hous,
that President Cleveland ever sale
