III President-elect Garfield wishes To
DO what would not be inappropriate
select a member of his cabinet from
this side Of the Missouri-he might do
an act OF infinite justice by assigning
to the department of the interior a re-
preventative of the territories. Why will
not President Garfield add TO his fame
by doing what would be SO eminently
wise and proper? The interior depart
ment is charged almost wholly with
the control of the territories; it guides
and directs their destines.
Then why not select as its chief one
familiar with the wants and wishes of
this vast section of the republic, and
one having the confidence and respect
of the great body of people inhabiting
the same? Why are we denied appro-
pirate representation in our govern
ment? Why are we taxed and yet de-
MED that representation demanded by
right and justice? Why are our rulers
for the most part aliensEhaying no
real or lasting interest in or with us?
President Garfield will soon have an op-
portunity to introduce a reform which
will make his name more lasting
amongst men. A reform demanded by
every principle of right and justice, and
one that would cause thousands to rise
up and call him blessed and hand his
name down to posterity as the first
president to comprehend the true theory
Of our government. There could be no
wiser selection for the position in ques-
tion than that of ex-Gov. r. s. McCor-
mick of Arizona, a statesman of rare
ability and more than ordinary execu-
tive power.
In Gov. Mccormick President Gar
field would have one who as first as
sistant and at times acting secretary Of
the treasury made a splendid record
during the first part of the administra-
ton of President Hayes, and who sub
sequently gained a world wide reputa-
ton as commissioner general to the
S0RtAShs AL aCtly0 HUILl1Ru~
Gov. Mccormick was. with one excep-
ton, more instrumental in saving tho
republican party from defeat in 1876
than any man in the country; that ex-
ception was the great son Of Michigan,
Zachariah Chandler who urged upon
President Hayes the name of Gov. Nc
Cormick for the office Of secretary of
the interior.
Gov. Mccormick was in New York
last fall and gave the benefit of his wis
dom and experience to Gov. Jewell
whom he daily consulted as to the man.
agement of the canvass for President
Garfield, in whose cause he was more
than ordinarily interested. Now Presi-
dent Garfield has an opportunity to in
troduce II great reform-subserve the
best interests of the republican party,
and perform an act of gratitude by the
selection of Richard G. Mccormick for
the office of Secretary of the interior.
