Supreme Court nomination rejected as Hill trims NYC machine
Washington January 15. The senate rejected the nomination of Hornblower to the supreme court after a spirited debate. The vote, 30,024 against, shows Hill’s New York machine remains intact and backed by the majority against the president’s choice. The report outlines political friction with Cleveland and Moore’s stance on nearing a compromise with the provisional Hawaiian government. It notes bonds likely to be issued under the resumption act and ongoing tariff and income tax debates.
