ling and Platt publish a joint-let-
ter to the Governor of New York
giving their reasons why they re-
signed. In this letter they state
that the changes in several offices
10 the state of New York anh in
foreign countries filled Ivy New
York men were selected by the
President for removal after be, the
President, had told the Senators
that no removals In these instances
would be made in the near future.
But Notwithstanding this promise
these offices were given to others.
Among them was the office of Coll
lector of the Port of New York, to
which Robertson was appointed.
The letter implies that Garfield acted
In bad faith to crafty his personal
spite against Coukling. The two
Senators say, all assertions to the
contrary Notwithstanding, that
they have never made any assaults
on Carried nor his administration,
nor in confidential consultation
with friends have they ever until
now said anything upon the sub.
ject of the appointments. They
claim that they have been hounded
by supporters of the ahministra-
tion; theys assert, also, that
they are backed in their
opposition tc these nominations by
the greater portion of the Repl bli.
can party of New York, as VIII a.
the business portion of that State.
They charge that the fight against
them Is for the purpose of ble.king
down the prerogative Of Senators,
aud that the principle sought to be
established by the Administration
Ia vicious and degrading, and its
acceptance would compel the rep
resentatives of States to fling down
their oath and duty at the footstool
of executive power. The tone OF
the letter throughout is diguified.
