Salt Lake Evening Democrat

Cleveland Under Republican Discussion. Washington, November 21.—A Republican caucus will be held to decide upon the course to be followed with regard to President Cleveland's appointments. The exact date for the meeting has not been fixed, but it will probably be about a week before the beginning of the session. There is a wide difference of opinion among Senators as to the best course to follow. Some of the most radical are in favor of opposing the confirmation of all new officials whose appointments are considered to be opposed to the tenure-of-office law. Others believe the President should be accorded the right to name his own officials at pleasure, where his doing so is not a violation of the civil service reform law. The question will be pretty thoroughly discussed in caucus, and it is altogether uncertain what the decision will be. Senator Hale says that it is impossible to tell at this time what the attitude of the Senate would be, but that the matter would probably be settled in caucus a little while before Congress meets.
