The Governors Appointees.

The official acts of the State Execu-
tive seldom or never meet the appro-
val of all. There are always some
ready to find fault and Governor IR-
WIN is already receiving the attention
of The carpers. A number of COM
plants have been lodged but for the
present We shall only notice the charge
that he has gone out of the party for
some of his appointees or has at least
given Office to a few who have not
been influential Democrats. This
charge, as we understand it, is based
on the selection of the San Francisco
Harbor Commissioners. No position
within the province of the Governor
is more difficult to fill. 1t will be re-
membered that the Harbor Commits
sion business has not heretofore been
the most creditable to the gentlemen
filling the position or the party placing
them in power. Under Republican
administration the State lost i'm
mensely by the Harbor Commission,
