would place faithful and competent serv

of poverty upon the hazard of an election.
Gen. Garfield expressed the hope that
law might be enacted placing it beyond
the power of anybody, even the president,
to remove faithful and capable appointee
during the term of office, whether it be
long or short, He is evidently prepared
to give to this question the same frank and
fair consideration which he has accorded
