Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1877-06-13

No compliments or Communications
are 80 highly appreciated by ali ed
ltor as those which come from his
cotem poraric.. The uniformly kind
and consolatory comments of our
exchanges on the ccasion of our re-
tirement from official position, is
especially gratifying and almost COM
pensates the contingency that gave
rise tothem. 1t is impracticable, and
of doubtful propriety to reproduce
all that has been said by our ex
changes on the subject, but our read
ers will pardon US for inhicting upon
them the following:
w. II, Bennett, ESQ, of the Mineral Poin
| TRIBUNE, viii be succeeded tomorrow, NJ
! Deputy Revenue Collector, by eX-state Senator
! Francis Campbell, of Lafayette county. Mr.
Campbell il worthy and popular man. Ii he
| shall fill his new position as efficiently and
acceptably as his predecessor, lis success Will
have been complete. OF his honest purpose
and faithfulness doubt cannot BE- suggested.
Mr. Bennett will retire from the position
with the esteem and confidence of all with
whom his official duties made him acquainted
We believe this further Endorsement due him !:
His opinions and expressions as an editor have
not been influenced or compromised by his
position az a public officer. Would that in
this respect more were like unto him l-RlCu-
LAND Co. OBSERVER.
In this change we have another eremplif-
cation OF the perfect workings of civil service
reform. Bennett has been ~ faithful and eff.
Gent officer, and we have no reason to believe
that Mr.. Campbell is better qualified TO per-
form the duties OF the office or that he VIII be
more faithial in The discharge Of these duties.
| But HazcIon's idea of civil service reform
demanded that a change should be made.
Bennett WAS in the habit Of speaking out in
meeting and of dom. things which Hazeiton
thought he ought not to do, and Of Leaving
und0nG .ihinss which Hazelton thought he
ought to do. The AK has fallen and the head
OF the martyrcd editor is chopped oh.-M IN
ERAL POINT DEMOCRAT.
w. II. Bennett, Deputy Collector of this
5. District, has been displaced TO make room
for Francis Campbell OF Lafayette county.
No complaint was made against Mr., Bennett
either for malcasUncc or mistcasance in office
and therefore we do not understand why he
has been removed. We presume IL Is owing
To II little witch in the evil service reform
business that has not been explained 10 us
Mr.. Campbell, as his succcss0. ia highly spoken
Of HOnors and cmolumcn,s are hcaped upon
him with exquisite faciity.-iRANr Co. HER
AID.
William H. Bennett, Of Mineral Point, for
four years Deputy Collector of Internal Rev
enuc for this district has resigned. Francis
Campbell, of Lafayette county, has been APP
pointed 10 the position. We believe Mr.. Ben
nett has been a faithful officer, and done his
whole duty TO the government. He will now
give his whole attention to the paper he owns
and will doubtlcs, make it one of the best IN
the state. The gentleman who has been APP
pointed 10 take the position left vacant 10y Mr.,
| Benefits resignation i, every way worthy
PRAIRIE Du CHEN UNION.
1.-THE Union is recognized as the
leading Hazelton organ of the Dis
trict, and its editor known to be
closely in sympathy, politically, with
Mr.. Campbell. All of which being
considered, the above extract is par
ticularly gratifying. Bro. Bergman
of course knew. when writing the
above, the "true inwardness' of the
resignation business, and it was kind
in him to ''let us down SO easy"
