of lots Of Democratic
Senators and Representatives who OPP
posed Mr.. Cleveland's nomination, as to
patronage under the coming administra-
ton, for it says in nnmistakable langu-
age, although aot in these precise words,
that Mr.. Cleveland proposes taking care
OF those who favored his nomination
first, last and all the time, and that be
will not bother his head about the De-
mocrats who opposed his nomination.
II he lives up to this announcement he
will hn himself in Andy Johi sons pre-
dicamsnt before his administration is
one year old, for it is we'll known that
more than a majority of the Democratic
Senators and Representatives we're
openly opposed to Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination, and that the number who
openly advocated his nomination was
ridiculously small.

placing the Anticipation bill for two
days with the bills reported from the
committees on Inauguration and on
epidemic diseases, relating to the
danger of the introduction OF cholera
into the United States, although Senator
Washburn, while granting the i'm
portance OF the two bills mentioned,
stoutly maintained that his Anticipation
bill was even moro important and should
first be disposed Of.
Kentuckians in Congress are 30 Ger
tain that Senator Carlisle has accepted
the portfolio OF Secretary of the Treas
ury, which. was recently tendered to
him by Mr.. Cleveland, that they are
discussing the probabilities of who will
succeed him in the Senate.
II it be fair to Judge by their actions
the Democrats wish to confine the legis-
lation of this session of Congress to
passing the regular appropriation bills,
and have adopted as the best plan to
bring about that result, keeping the
House without quorum. At any rate
the House has been without quorum
since the s-assembling of Congress.
Senator Hill seldom displays his feel
ings to the extent that he has since his
return from Albany, whore he went to
see that all parts of his machine, which
is to elect Brewer Murphy to the U. S.
Senate, was in good working order
He fairly beams with satisfaction over
the situation. Mr.. Cleveland opened
the fight on him, in what he regards as
an entirely uncallsd for manner, and he
says that when the Democratic caucus
of the New York legislature meets next
Tuesday only seven Democrats will vote
agains Murphy, and they were on record
as opposing him before Mr. Cleveland
came tout against him The cEsyeland1
Democrats now shame facedly claim
that Mr.. Cleveland never expected to
defeat Murphy, and that he has done
nothing beyond expressing his own
personal opposition to him. When this
story was told to Senator Hill he smiled
knowingly, as much as to say, "Tell
that to the Marines"
A very broad smile passed around the
House and the galleries when Repre-
sentative Glover, OF Kansas, who is now
being sued for a divorce by his wife,
presented petition from Mrs, Nathalie
Pollard asking that a law be enacted
abolishing divorce in the District of
Columbia, the Territories. and other
places over which Congress has legisla-
tive control.
Among large batch of nominations
sent to the Senate this week was that
of ex-senator Gilbert A. Pierce, proprie.
tor of the Minneapolis Tribune, to be
Minister to Portugal,
