nmns besides flying in the face OF
we'll known facts to deny to Bicknell
6rst class qualifications for the place
which he has secured; and it would
beto wantonly volunteer insinuations
against q gentleman Of whom we
know nothing but good reports for
us to convey one syllable of detrac-
ton concerning Mr.. Lamb; but
their fitness is one matter; their
mode of getting into place is another.
We maintain 1t to be the duty OF
good Republicans to submit to the
voice of the majority of their party;
and that even if it should happen
that decisions so made might operate
preiudicially to their chances. let 1t
&c, 1T that rather than that by join
ing forces with the Democracy their
temporary success might be achieved.
A more lamentable and needless de-
moralization than that which is sure
to follow the coalition of the said
hold overs and the Democracy 1t
would be hard to conceive of. OF
what Mr.. Lamb has done by way OF
appointments, or what he proposes
to do we have not had occasion to in
form ourselves; but it was with
sense of deep regret that we learned
from Mr.. Bicknell that he had chosen
Mr.. r. r. Parkinson as his Minute
Clerk and Mr.. Burns of Palisade, a
Democrat, for another one Of his as
sistants. OF Parkinson's appointment
Mr.. Bicknell says that he made it
upon the score of eminent fitness
alone; but if he had done so in com
pliance with the claims and urginss
d the corporal's guard of Liberals
who play the part of political check
guerrillas here in Carson, the ap-
d. pointment could scarcely have been
more offensive than it is to the
straight out Republicans of Ormsby
county-where Bicknel1 and Parkin
: son both reside. Parkinson no doubt
needs the place which has been
awarded him and no doubt he is ca
pable of filing it; but while there
are Republicans quite as poor and
equally deserving, whose services
might have been had for the seeking,
it is not in compliance with the
riehtful demands of party custom
for Secretary Bicknell to give this
place to 50 notorious deserter from
the Republican ranks as Parkinson
Is. The same remarks apply to the
other sppointee referred to-what-
ever his qualifications. Moreover il
IS not good excuse for any man te
make-that the non -fulfllment o.
their promises on the part of Repub
lean Senators induced him to entel
into this coalition; for there is nj
pecessity for man who is fit for th'
position of Secretary of the Senat'
to so fsr compromise his politica
standing as to do 80 inconsistent al
oct; and the holding of an Office TO
sixty days is not a matter of vital i'm
portanee to any capable young man
4hssofice Is not worth the sacrifice
Who ever saw q Democratic ma
iority thus divided up upon the mer
division Of the spoils? Look at tn
Assembly Of 1871. Did any Demo
cratic members of that body barte
off their votes with Republicans fo
positions for their friends? Nc
once! The Democrats caucuse
amongst themselves; divided th
plumber amongst one another; acte
With loyalty to their party and bel
no council with, made no comprt
misses with, their opponents, the r.
publican minority; and in part
sense; in the sense Of honorable dea
ing: as men who placed q higher e.
innate upon party duties and part
faith than upon the crumbs. OF othc
they were right; and they setan e.
