New York Senators Protest Against Nominating Sanger.
Washington, March 8.—Senators Platt and Depew of New York are both opposing the proposition to nominate Colonel Sanger for the office of assistant secretary of war. Senator Platt saw the secretary of war yesterday and entered a formal protest on the ground that Colonel Sanger is not a consistent Republican. Senator Depew also has indicated his opposition. Neither of them was consulted before the nomination was decided upon. The selection seems to have been made by the secretary but the senators claim that if that official is to assert that prerogative he should find a man who would be acceptable to them. Senator Platt expressed the opinion that the protests which have been made will have the effect of preventing the president from sending in the nomination.
