E'iitors Democrat
In referring To my communication
of the Goth ult, the Albany Hcrad Of
the 30th says alt does not contain u
single statement which could invalidate
the position we assumed in regard to
President Garfield's course In the
matter of appointments" That de-
pends altogether upon the fact as to
whether or not ! was correct IN saying
that "slahone had sold himself to the
Republicans, the consideration was the
election OF Ridglebarger Sargent at
Arms, and Gorham Secretary of the
Senate, the consideration had failed,
payment must be made, but it must be
with some other chattel than the ones
originally agreed upon, and no substi-
tute would suit Mahone so we'll as
Virginia patronage, and none would
give him such power as the post
offices" If | was correct in this and
Republican authority TO sustain me is
abundant, then had conchIsiveIy
shoSn all i aimed to,-~quito enough
to .'incutidate, tie pos tson assasnseet
b, the HeraLd, for the HeraM does not
pretend that president Garfield acted
independant in these Virginia appoint
ments, and it is idle to suppose that
Malone did not dictate who should,
and who should not, be the happy re-
ceipicnt Of these executive fayors.
No doubt the president regarded all
Senator Mahone's requests as a demand,
as he Lad become surety for the failure
of the Senate to fulfill It's agreement to
provide for Riddlebarger and Gorham
and dare not say no.
The Hcrud further says that
'Ieobertsons' nomination was urged
upon the president by majority of
prominent business men of the State of
New York" This declaration is not
confirmed by the current record of the
time but it is notorious fact that
the leading mercantile community of
the city Of New York protested against
his confirmation.
