COMMENTS ON THE APPOINTMENT OF Mr., ACK-
MAN.
The prominent Republicans ia this city do
not attach special Importance or political sig
ni6cance to the retirement of Judge Hoar from
the Cabinet. The Tribune regards the event
as in no respect the result of the Cuban situa-
ton in Congress or the Cabinet, and in no way
indicating change in the policy of the admin.
istratlon. 1t considers Judge Hoar's retire.
ment IN concession to the general demand for
more equitable territorial distribution of the
Cabinet, ard predicts that the charge will on
the whole strengthen the administration.
The San says Ackeman belongs to that class
of men for whom Gen. Grant has predilec-
ton. He was never beard of before and there
is no reason why he should be in the Cabinet
unless he has privately made Gen. Grant pres
ents. He adds nothing to the political strength
of the administration, and it is very poor
compliment to Judge Hoar to select such
man for his place.
