cause the nomination could not be
acted upon by the Senate until then,
and here is an unwritten law, which
has very seldom been ignored against
justice taking his seat upon the
bench Of the Supreme Court before
his nomination has been confirmed
by the Senate. This being the stu
alton, Mr.. Cleveland is at liberty to
dangle this tempting bait in front of
every Democrat he wishes to con-
troll and he will not fail to do so, al
though in the end the place will
probably go TO some one OF his crea-
lures like Wilson, Olney or Bissell
It is not surprising under the cir
cumstaaces that the anti-Cleveland
Democrats should be hot in the col

tering weather.
Washington's G. A. r. men are
making preparations for sending a
big delegation to the coming Ma
tional Encampment at Louisville,
Kentucky, September lib. Cor
poral Tanner is very enthusiastic
about it. He says "Everything
conspires to make the assemblage
one OF the largest and most inspiring
ever gathered together in this coun
try. 1t will be held at point that
may be said to be central, so far as
veteran organizations, both Union
and Confederate, are concerned. On
the South will be Knoxville, Chatta-

other cities, and on the North and |
West are Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and |
other states which are just alive with
Union veterans. In addition to all
these favorable circumstances the
dedication of the battle field of Chat
tanooga, which takes place only day
or two before the opening of the en-
campment, will tend to greatly in
crease the attendance at the latter.
Public opinion can affect even
Democratic administration. After
saying that this government had no
fund from which money could be
taken to help the wife and children
of ex.U. S. Consul Waller (who is in
prison in France under a court-mar-
tial sentence believed to be unjust),
who are stranded at Port Louis,
the State Department
changed front after learning from the

Of such inhumanltY and directed the {
U. S. Consul at the place named to t
secure transportation for Mrs Wal s
er and her children on the French +
steamer which sails for Marseilles, !
France, on August 90. The same
power may eventually compel the i,
administration to do something for j.

1t is regarded as significant that u

Tithout contradicting it, a
This means, if it means anything, "
nat Whitney's managers, who are tC

le statement of close friend of G
