Washington, Nov. 10.-The presi-

soon to become vacant, he would be
governed entirely by the record; that
II was his intention to promote thos'

most deserving of promotion, and that
neither personal considerations nor

Senator Cullom had called on be-
half of Maj. Balance, who went into
the army from Peoria, and Maj. Nc
Clernand, a son of Gen. McClernand.
The latter was Gen. Skaters adjutant
during the Santiago campaign.
Senator Burrows, of Michigan,

It would be wise to tinker with the
