THERE seems TO he quite unanimous
mention in to-day's dispatches of Mr..
Robert Lincoln for secretary of war
under Gariield's administration. He is
not a man Of any great weight nor even
of much prominence as politician. 1t
can hardly be conceived that the mere
sentimental consideration Of his father S
name and memory would induce Mr..
Garfield TO assign him to a cabinet posi-
tion. 1t seems more likely that his name
is being used to kill off some more objec-
tionable Illinois appointmeIt that is
being pressed upon Garfield. 1t would
lie like the new presidents moral coward
ice to take refuge in some such device.
