AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Fight Renewed Against Hazel's Nom-
inatiOn.
APPEAL FOR CAPT. P. C. DEMING
Callers Present Their Petitions to
the President.
UNIQUE LETTER RECEIVED

| George E. Matthews and the delegation OF
| Buffalo republicans who came here to pro-
| test against the nomination of John r.
Hazel rs judge of the new federal district
in New York had another conference with
| the President this morning. going over the
same points of objection to Mr.. Hazel that
| were presented yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Matthews and the other members of the
delegation assert that Mr.. Hazel is hardly
known to the members of the Buffalo bar
! as a lawyer. by reason of the fact that he
is So little seen in court house or even
| heard Of. They declare their opposition to
the nomination of politician to tHS bench.
and assert that the county may be lost to
| Mckinley next fall If Hazel is named. Mr.
Matthews is hopeful of defeating the NOM
| nation, but the President must have the
| best grounds for turning down a man
| whose name is presented to him by both
! the senators of a state. This kind of rec
ommendation is nearly always equivalent
| TO nomination. More than this, 1t is said
| that the President sent for the papers Of
| Mr.. Hazel. and pointed out that he has the
recommendation Of many judges and dis
| tinguished jurists in his section Of New
York. Members of the delegation hint that
these recommendations were made because
| of political favors by Hazel in the past.
Since his incumbency the President has
| been extremely careful in making judicial
nominations. He has selected good men,
many of them known to him personally as
| fitted for the bench. If he appoints Hazel it
will be because he has satisfied himself of
| the fitness of the applicant
In Behalf of Capt. Deming.
Representative Alexander OF Buffalo saw
| the President, but not on this matter He
Joined with Senators PIatt and Depew some
days ago in recommending Mr.. Hazel Mr..
Alexander is trying to do what he can to
lessen the punishment which has been given
to Capt. Peter c. Deming of the commits
sary branch Of the army. Capt. Deming
has been sentenced at San Francisco. and
the papers are on their way to Washington.
They Will be taken up by the President in a
short time.
