Especial Dispatch TO tile TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-For two or three
executive sessions recently the Post Office
Committee, of which Mr.. Chandler is act
ing chairman, has been criticised for hold
ing up nominations. Mr.. Chandler says
that In all cases where the Senators from
the same State have been able to agree,
and where there has been no injustice
done, the nominee has been reported with
out undue delay.
A count OF the nominations shows that
there are still with the committee total
OF 185 nominations that have not been re-
ported, and of these 85 are Offices that
have recently become Presidential by pro-
motion from fourth class owing to in
creased receipts of the Office.
In almost all of these cases the President
has nominated the incumbent, and Repub-
licans say that II he were again confirmed
the official would be given term of eight
years, which, they argue, would be unfair.
In some cases, also, the nominees have
been named to succeed men who have
been removed. In New England the
names held up are for the following
Offices:
Vermont = Wilmington, raised from
fourth class.
Massachusetts, -Br0Sakton, Waverly, Co
hasset, Amesbury, South Braintree, Merri-
mac, Foxboro, Weymouth Centre, Haver-
hill and Canton, Of which one has been
increased from fourth class.
Maine Boothbay Harbor, raised from
fourth class.
Connecticut-Fairheld, East Hartford,
both raised from fourth class.
Rhode Island-Pawtucket.
