bestowal of offices should be in consid
Grafton of the welfare of the country
the dignity of the government and t6,
purity of our institutions. The powel
of appointment to office in this bod,
had fallen to his party. He did no
understand that it contemplated any
such slaughter of tho innocents as wa
contemplated by those on the opposit,
side. Observation had shown that in
stead of Federal officers having beef
bestowed for the good of the country
with capable and honest incumbents
they had been used for many years fo
tho benefit Of a single party. Thos
here who now complained never neg
llected to fill the offices with thei
party friends In conclusion. Nj
Bayard said he did not decry partisan
ship in the citizen, but public officer
must not use the facilities afforded b,
their position to further personal o
party ends.
