Federal 0mcers h. West Florida VIII Not Have Further Fight on

Pensacola. Jan. 22.---(special)---fn. formation reached here from wash- ington to the effect that the Senate had confirmed the nominations of Thomas F. McGourln as United States Marshal and w.. B. Sheppard as United States District Attorney.
 The names of these two officials. both of whom reside here. were sent to the Senate about two weeks since for confirmation. and owing to the de- lay of the Senate In taking up the nominations, caused many, to believe that the fight between the Republicans fin Florida had caused some of the Senate to hold up the combinations and that possibly there would be fight upon confirming the appointments. This was evidently not the cause of the delay as the named were confirmed without any discussion.
 The two prominent Federal office- holders had the endorsement of the State Republican Committee. and both also carried numerous letters from this city to the President requesting the appointment of these two Federal of- ficehoiders for another term. Marshal McGouriu has held ofice for three terms, and this will make his fourth term. and Attorney Sheppard will serve his second term, having succeed cd Hon. John Eagan. upon the death of the latter.
