J. G. Bancroft Davis haB been nominated AZ
tho present Administration u mixing appoint
monta aro inso1utablo. Bancroft Davis is now
Assiatant Secretary Of State. Charges affecting
his character for integrity havc been pending
Tor long tin1o, aud they have never been s,lc-
cossfuly refuted. It is alleged that bIr.
Davis, when acting as attorney for tho Eric
Railroad, sold out for $4,000 to tho Boston,
Hartford l. Eric Company. Ho is sala to havo
earned this bribe-money by recommending a
contract which cost tho Eric Company several
million dollars, mud benefited the Hartford
Company in the aamo degree. While it mny bo
true that Alr. Davis has been traducel in this
matter, 1t Is not the province OF the Govern
ment to undertake ha vindication. Until tho
charges hayo been cleared away to the Hatis-
factlon Of porsons who aro ia position to know
the facts, Mr.. Davis should bo content with o
subordinate place III tho public service. It
ia no compliment to tho nation to send
abroad rs ita representative mans who,
whether justly or uujustly, is under O
cloud, and las made 10 strenuous Of
forts to clear himself. Ours is not personal
government. We have other business to trans-
act at Berlin than tho establishment Of AIr.
Bancroft Davls' reputation. A man should bo
chosen for Minister who would enjoy tho conf
dcnco Of his own countrynon aud tho Govern
mont to which he il accroditcd. Dancroft Davis
Is not such q tnan.
