Senator Voorhees, Views of His Duty
In describing his own feelings, as be-
tween Mr.. Conkling and the President
ON the Robertson case, Mr.. VOORHEES,
says:
"Tis is not a personal matter with me
M all. lam on good terms with MI
Conkling and with ever member oil the
Administration. So tar as personal
consideration, are concerned / would
gladly oblige them all, for 1t Is always
more agreeable to me TO DO
pleasant than unpleasant things
But / cannot place the discharge oil
nv duties as Senator on such GROUNDS
am not called on TO take part IN quar-
rels between the leaders OF the Kepuoii-
can party. The President has the right
under the Constitution to select sucn
persons as he sees fit for the public OIL
fices and send their names to the SEN
ate. In doing so factions arise In his
own party, and that is not my affair. L
am not an arbiter OF Republican differ
ences. They must settle among them
selves. can only look to the persons
nominated to the Senate. II he fills the
Jeffersonian requirements, on what
grounds can | vote to reject nun
II he is capable and honest, his record
is good with me. That IS the
old-fashioned test, and it is the true
one. We hear much about Senatorial
courtesy in connection with appoint
ments and combinations. That IS all
well enough in proper bounds. l try to
be as courteous as any other Senator,
and as far as my duty will permit. |
gladly oblige my associates, but, like
many other good qualities, courtesy
may be invoked out OF place. The New
York Custom House is as national In
its proper functions as one OF the depart
ments of the Government, and the Col
lector of Customs at New York is IS
much a national official as member OF
the Cabinet. A great commercial port,
collecting revenue from seven tenth,
perhaps, OF all the commerce OF the
American people, cannot oe regarded
as a mere appendsge to the local politics
of a single State. The appointment OF
the Collector of such port cannot be
claimed as a perquisitef or Senator or
members of Congress, like the appoint
ment OF a postmaster. The people OF
Ohio, Indiana, and other great Western
States are as much interested in the adj
ministration of the legitimate business
of the New York custom house as the
people OF New York themselves. While
| regret that the appointment OF Judge
Robertson is not acceptable to the Sena'
tors from New York, yet, believing him
a capable and an honest man, and re-
cognizing the right of the President 10
make the selection, feel it my duty to
vote for his confirmation"
