C.f March 2nd, 1900. Senator Pritchard has re- turned to his home for a few days, and will not bo back in Wa shins- ton before next werlr.. Tf i ;.i that the North Carolina Senator has become.about convinced that -i there is not much hope for the " confirmation of Judeo Ewnrt. , o - " though if this is the case, the Sen ator keeps it to himself when in Washington, for ho always speaks confidently as to tho confirmation of his friend. " In' this connection the rumors coupling Senator PritchanTs name ' with the United States Jndgship are being revived. It is even as serted that President McKinley 1 may offer-him the appointment if Ewaxt is not confirmed, or if his nomination is again held up until the adjournment of Congress. Tho friends of Senator Pritchard, how ever, do not believe that thero is any likelihood of his accepting tho Judgeship tf or the reason that if ho wero to resign a Democrat , would be elected by the Legislature to fill out-his unexpired term. A Democrat will doubtless be elected to succeed Senator Butler, and tho , Republican-Populist combination would not relish the idea of two ' Democratic Senators from North Carolina just at this time. Judge Ewart still remains in Washington, and it ' is Raid tli&C he will remain here until after hi nomination is acted upon by tho Senate. The Judge is confident of confirmation, if ho can , securo a ' roto in the Senate, but what he fears most is that Senator Butler may repeat his tactics of holding up the nomination in the Scnato until the final adjuniment of tho session.
