Washington, D. Cm April l.?Thoro was one nomination sent in by tho President yesterday that caused some criticism amonp aenatora, ami especiully, it ia said, unions the members of tiie liuance eommittoo, to whom it was referred. That man is -Mr. JSckels, nominated to bo comptroller of tho currency. Mr. JJckola ia a well known lawyer, and ia highly recommended aa a jjia11 of attainments and lejjal loarninir, but there ia a feeling among certain aonatora that u man to hold such a responsible position aa comptroller of tho currency should have had a training as a banker. it is probable that llio appointment of Mr. Kckols was a mistake and that it was the intention to nominate him for the uosition of sccund comptroller. Section :&5 li. b. says: "The comptroller of tliu currency shall be appointed by tint I'rojideut on the recommendation of the. uecrotary of tho treasury." Thin proviNion of tlio Htatuto providing for tho appointment to bo made on tho recommendation of tho secretary of treasury was clearly not complied with, as it is asserted on unquestionable authority that .Secretary Carlisle did not recommend tho appointment and only knew ol it a tew moments boforo it wau sent to the senate. Considerable commont is caused in the treasury department by tho fact that i\lr. Kelt els, nominatod for comptroller of the currency and Mr. Tucker appointed deputy comptroller of the currency, both occupying positions requiring technical knowledge both new to their duties, should bo placed in an ollicial position at tlio same time without having had any previous training, tliuh leaving tho work of this important bureau practically iu tho hands of under ollieials.
