EDITOR APPEAL The nomlna
ton of that eminent jurist, ex.
Judge Hager, to be Collector of the
Port of this city, seems to meet
with approval from all good citizens
irrespective of party. True, it is
that certain cliques of the Democ-
racy, along in common with few
ward politicians, find fault with the
selections, but, taken in all, no bet
ter choice could have been made,
and certainly none who could have
filed the place more worthily than
Judge Hager can. In selecting
this gentlemen, President Cleve-
land has shown his independence
of Ill political factions, and has
proven once more that in selecting
candidates for Office, lie is not to be
Influenced by deserted political
hucksters, without any following,
or by blind ward-politicians without
any standing in the community in
which they live. Some of the
morning papers attribute Judge
Hager's appointment to the infu-
ence of ex-Congressman Rosecrans,
and are loud in asserting what in
fuence "Old Rosey' holds over
the Administration. You can take
it for granted that Rosecrans holds
no influence whatever with the
present Administration, as it took
all of the old Generals influence,
along with that of his friends, to
secure for him his present comfort
able billet. The truth of Hagers
appointment is thus given by one,
to be above the average
informed. It appears that among
the most formidable candidates for
the Collectorship of the Port, was
Timmins of Shasta. and
it was to further his friends inter-
ests that Hager went to Washing
ton. Once in that city, he sought
an interview with the President,
whom it appears at once offered
the position to the Judge, who, af-
ter great reluctance, finally agreed
to accept it. So certain were Sena-
tor Timmins' friends Of his ap-
pointment that not a few took Time

The local Democracy in this city is

rear, the Republicans must neces-
