PRESIDENT i 1C the Same Old Story About tronage and Wolcott Trying to Outdo Jan brother Senators are wondering whether Senator Wolcott of Colorado will turn out to be a bigger man than Roscoe Conkling proved to be It is the old fight whether the President has the right to make tions from a State without first getting the consent of the Senators from that State In the present instance even Senatorial courtesy will have to be stretched to make the fight on the old President Harrison nominated N P Hill to be a member of the International Monetary commission Hill and Wolcott are sworn while Senator Teller is also unfriendly to Hill Neither Senator was asked for his opinion on the nomination But tbe position is not one that is of any more concern to the citizens of Colorado than to the rest of the United States The usual plea that the placing local patronage in the hands of a Senator's enemy to be used in destroying him cannot therefore be maintained But as soon as the nomination came in Senator cott declared his rights bad been out- and began a canvass of his col- leagues to secure Hill's rejection Judge Lambert Tree was named on the sion without Senator Cullom

own fought some of Pr dent Harrison's appointments and were beaten The Conkling fiasco in the field struggle is yet fresh For every deserter in his own party on grounds of Senatorial courtesy a President can usually find a recruit in the other party When he needed Republican votes to make up for Democratic deserters iu confirming his nominees President land had no trouble in finding them And President Harrison would not lack for Democratic supporters now if it were not for the trade between Democratic tors and the silver Republicans on the election Wolcott is in the fortunate position where he can demand that tor Gorman turn over the solid cratic vote in return for favors received But this can't be done without vigorous kicking by individual Democratic don't caro to be mixed up in a family MAY SOON RETIRE HU Growing Remarked bjr of the Supreme Jan growing feebleness is remarked by all JUSTICE frequenters of tho Supreme Court At the President's Year's reception he Appeared with
