Nominations in Senate Session Fail to Clear Many Posts
In the second session of the Fiftieth Congress President Clavaland sent about four hundred fifty nominations to the Senate, roughly half confirmed. Most confirmations were military or postal promotions. several key posts were not acted on as terms expired or offices became presidential. Walter L. Bragg and Carroll J. Wright were among the confirmations, while many others including probate judges and various district officials failed to pass before adjournment. The era’s political stalemate left numerous appointments pending beyond the session.
