The SECRETARY oY WAR.-As our Washing
ton Correspondence announced yesterday, Hon
JoHx c. SrENcER has been invited by President
Tyler to take charge OF the War Department OF
our Government. This though matter Of sur
prise to many will be, we trust, subject OF regret
10 none An obvious propriety seemed TO direct
that New York should have some voice in the Cab
met Councils and we feel sure that to no ADLER
and worther hands could these high trusts be com
nitted than to those of the present Secretary OF
the State of New York With a wide and well
established fame a. among the soundest and ables;
American lawyers. he possesses reputation for
purity of purpose and dignity Of aims rarely en-
oyed and in each Of the important Offices in this
his native State, whose duties lie has so well di'-
charged, ne has acquired unfading laurels. His
selection, moreover. at the present iunctufe to nil
so important and confidential station, must b"
regarded as evidence of a desire the part Of
President Tyler preserve the integrity Of the
party that raised him 10 power
Mr.. Spencer is about fifty years of age and
n great portion of his life has been speat in the
tive duties of political service NJ the age Of Is
he was the Private Secretary of DANIEL D. Tom
Kiss. then Governor OF this State, aud while in
that station wrote u reply Of the Governor to the
Address OF the Legislature, which elected high
approval for its eminent ability. He aitcrward
removed to Canandagua, where for series of
years he was engaged in the practice OF law, and
did much to acquire for Ontario county the proud
distinction she has for many years enjoyed Of pos
scssing by far the ablcst bar in proportion To lis
numbers in the State. In 1917 he was elected
member of Congress, in 1922 Il member OF the
State Assembly, Of which he was chosen Speaker,
and soon after he took his seat in the Senate OF his
natiye State which he hsd for four years. In
1897 we believe. he was appointed in conjunction

which arduou, and responsible commission he dis
charged the most wcighty part Ia 1889 he wa
chosen Secretary Of State by Governor Seward:
and he has continued from that time to the pre-
sent to discharge the duties Of that high station
well as its coincidcnt etce, the Superintendence
of Common Schools, with unequalled ability and
a. intense devotion to the public good which has
secured for him the esteem and admiration Of near
ly every citizen OF the Empire State.
