Rensselaer Republican, Volume 17, Number 12, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 November 1884 — Attitude of the Senate Toward Cleveland. [ARTICLE]

Attitude of the Senate Toward Cleveland.

It having been reported that Senator Thgalls had said that he would vote to confirm Cleveland’s appointments, the Senator was recently interviewed, and confirmed the report. He says: “In my opinion, the nominees of Cleveland should be confirmed unless there are objections other than political. A Democratic Senate rejected none of Hayes’ appointments. The unwritten law of the case is for the Senate to assume that, in case of removal by the. President, he has ample cause for it, and it has been the courteous custom of that body to so regard it.” Senator Ingalls doubts the constitutionality of the tenure-of-office act, and says he thinks it ought to be repealed.
