APPOINT AN Ifl9A AMERlEAA
to the Office Of Commissioner Of Public Works.
He rendered the office to Mr- Michael Kccley, q
busy and prosperous brewer, when he well knew
that Mr.. Kecley could not neglect his own bus-
ness to accept the Office. Then he declared TINT
he did not know another 1rishman in Chicago
whowas fit for tho place. and proceeded to ap-
point Mr. Waller, abrother Kentuckian, although
M-. Waller had no special fitness for the place,
being neither an engineer nor a mechanic, and
Of sbordIuutes US to tho necessity or the churac~
ter Of public improvements. Twas an applicant
for the office Of Controller. but ny opposition to
bis refusal to appoint me, and Mr.. Harrison
knows this, because when be told me be
knew of no Irish AMERICAN in Chicago ut
lie Works, I insisted that John McMahou,
who built the lake tunnel,-a practical
md On able mnn-was 1T for tae Office, aud i, [
dacy to bc considered as autagonistic to John
Mc31ahon, and, on the contrary, that he could
consider me perfectly satisfied az. McMahon
icun were given the position. Surely, even q
kentuckiap will not call that unreasonable
thirsting for Office.
TRIED TO SATISFY THH. IRISH
chunic nor an engfncer, his Superintendent Of
Streets under Mr.. Waller. But mark the differ
enee in 5he Mayors Of Kentuekan
haEf p0uJor sereral months, on the plea that he
should not get full pay until hs was familiar
with his dulles. But Waller got full pay i'm
meltateiy, although he needed experience as
much US Fogarty did, and was'ndbetter engineer
nor no more successful bulldog and ,Gurney
got full pay as Controller iron the moment
he went into Office, although history unklndly
on,its, to mention any OF the ireat banks or
corporations ho managed or; thggreat financial
schemes be conceived and e1eeated before he
became Controller. And Baldwin got full pay
from date Of appointment as Gas Inspector,
although VIC know Of no experlaace with which
he was previously blessed in int line, unless:
report to the iatter's satisfaction his giant d.
menstons migratory and statesmlnship.
