Mr.. Flint. the present incumbent, will b,
| retained in the Office of Secretary of State
another year. His prediction may prove
/ true, but if it has no better foundation Than
his arguments which support it. Col. Smiths
friends may, perhaps, be excused il they
do not surrender at discretion. The frs
argument for Mr.. Flint b, ''Ortcgo'' Is tn,
stale old cry of Usage. Usage" he con

| As to the plea of usage, suppose yeul
correspondent had reference to the usag,
of the Republican party. In urging part,
usage in favor of Mr.. Flint. he cannot pos.
| sibiy claim the usage ofprevious parties
How stands the matter of usage in the Re
publican party in respect to this office OF
Sec. of State?
The Republican party was organized to
come into power in 1856. Mr.. Jack son had
the office of Sec. of State in 81 to complete
his three years. Noah Smith then succeed
ed and held the office three years. Mr..
Hale was then elected for three years and
he, in turn. was succeeded by Mr.. Flint
who win have completed his three years
next January. there be anything. then.
in this plea of party usage. certainly. Mr.
Flihts friends cannot claim it in his behalf
frIp
respondent claims a fourth term for Mr..
Flint. is that lit would greatly cmbarras,
Gov. Chamberlain to have new and green
man for Secretary OF State" This aryu-
mcnt Is not very complimentary to Gov.
Chamberlain. III view of the fact that whci,
Gov. Morrill, became Governor, Mr.. SmirI,
new and green man was given him for
secretary of State: that when Gov. Wash
burn became Governor, Mr.. Hall "a new
ana green man" was made Secretary Of
State. and that when Gov. Cony came in
10 the office. Mr.. Flint "a new and green
man was nadc Secretary. imagine tha,
Gen1 Chamberlain will be deemed oui,s
as capable OF managing the machine Of
Government, win IA new and green man
Ter Secretary of State. a. was either of the
aforesaid Governors.
do not propose TO argue Col. Smiths
case especially. to your readers. to whom
he l. so well known. Col. Smith though a
Young man. is not wholly unknown to the
people of this State. He has done the
State some service. In the time of public
danger he sought the post ofdanger. Per-
hals the people will say that he should now
be made To win the post of honor. II will
be just like them.

the very questionable power of removing

nccomplices but with ordinary men it Is no
disqualification at all, bat all other things

Investigation as given by the reporters is
such as to give no cause whatever for the
violent proceedings of Governor Swami ;
but on the contrary it does seem clear with

represented are said to be those who were

one to ret control Of the ballot boxes before

safeguards around the ballot box. and
these new Police Commits sioners are relied
upon to undermine these.
