people. Is the Republican party then
bound 70 bestOw Office upon the most
clamoring applicants? No, It's interests
demand the circumspection With which
the President surrounds the selections for
the humblest office. We have lad signal
examples Of the injury which an jmprovi-
dent bestowal Of Office may occasion to
party. What was the only ground of OBJ
lection to the reelection Of General
Grant? 'tWas h5 honest, was he capable
was he faithful to the constitutions" No
one said otherwise. But coming into office
from d camp where he had been sur
rounded by faithful soldiers and astute
purveyors, it was impossible to maintain
the rule which he has more recently irau-
gurated in his selections Tor civil Office.
It was upon this point alone. It was
upon the sins Of ex-Guartermasters and Of |
bogus Republicans that he was assaiIed. |
It was for the error Of unfortunate ap-
Pointments that he was put on trial. His
only formidable opposition came from
some of the oldest members Of the Re.
publican party. Greeley, Schurz, Banks,
Sumner and others based their op-
position upon alleged corruption COM
mitted, if at all, by mercenary men for
their own gains. Now, shall ring be al
lowed to enrich themselves, and shall the
whole Republican party throughout the
Union be involved in the task Of defend
