the appointment OF Gov. Morrill, to the
Collectorship of Portland. Ii Mr.. Frye
thus dared to lace his political friend.
and to thus necessitate the breaking OF
long standing promises" he is entitled
to thanks from another constituency than
his own. and also from the whole State.
1t is practical civil service reiorm--setting
aside the politician for the statesman.
While we think there are men who have
not been so long favored with remunera-
tive positions as Mr.. Morrill,, who would
have as scceptsbly filed the position,
and who should be remembered for hay-
ing served faithfully TO their own imam
cial cost, yet Mr.. Morrilrs appointment
is far more satisfactory than could have
baen that of any other person publicly
mentioned.
