The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1864-1911, 1864-08-10
Hen. John A. Abra-
ham Lincoln.

The Hon. John 4. Bingham has beer
appointed Solicitor Of the United States
Court OF Claims, vice Gibson, resigned.
The Belmont Chroaicls, of last week, is the
only paper of Mr.. Bingham's party in this
District, that contains the above item of
news, for reasons no doubt satisfactory to
themselves, and to Mr. Bingham.
Now the question naturally arise., how
many morc Offices does Mr.. Bingham want2
Is there no way of satisfying his greed for Ct
ice? He has already the lucrative Offices Of
Judge Advocate and Confidential Secretary
and the above tells us, that he has, in addi-
ton 10 the holding of the above lucrative
Offices, been appointed to the very lucrative
office OF Solicitor of the United States Court
of Claims In addition TO the holding of all
of these fat ami lucrative Offices he wants
the two office. of Presidential Eector for the
State of Ohio. and Congressman for the 10th
District Of Ohio. He can hold, under this
administration, all, OF these" five Offices at
the same time, and .iraw the pay for the
whole Of them at one grab from the. I nited
States Treasury.
One Office generally is sufficient for NEST
of men, but our friend Bingham does not
belong TO that class of persons who are so
easily satisfied He has already, through
the favortism of Mr. Lincoln, three,good fat
Offices and yet he wants two more good fat
ones: Presidential Elector for Mr. Lincoln
and Congressman from this District. Bully
for Bingham "a If the court understands
itself, and it thinks it does, =" so does the
Mai jr understand how to get good fat Off
cea
He has had brother Hatton laboring for
the past three !menths with all the unseru-
palousncss, T,al and energy that he posses
ses, to obtain the Congressional nomination
for him at Cambridge on next Tuesday,
with what success that day will tell Our
own opinion!is, he will get the nomination; !;
because every member of the old liberty
guard in the district has been working to ac
compsh that object; and whatever they
willis law in Mr., Bingham ) party. And
further. if brother Hatton ardent zeal and
laborious efforts in Mr. Bingham behalf
will accomplish anything, he ought to have
It, for we shave never seen one man work
harder for another one : success than Mr..
H.tton has for Mr.. Bingham's. AS lead
ing Republican remarked on last Saturday,
it was hard to tell whether Bingham own
ed Hatton or Hatton?"s "sowned! Bingham. y
Those who have read no other paper but
the Cadiz RepubHcna during the past three
months would think that there were no other
candidate for Congress in this district but
John A. Bingham, so selfish has Mr.. Hat
ton been in advocating Mr. Binghan's pc
culiar claims
Mr.. Bingham was appointed Solicitor Of
efthe United States Court Of Claims in place
OF Charles Gibson, Esq, resigned. Mr.
Lincoln could not make Mr.. Gibson one of
bis tools. He vas exceedingly anxious for
him to resign so that he might give the office
to one that he could, in addition to his other
two fat lucrative Offices.
