Superintendent of Public Build

Congressman Milliken clains the credit Of the ap-
pointment Of Col Thomas Lambard - superfnten-
dent Of the Augusta public building When the truth
Of the matter IL he had to do with 1t than
the Mahdi In fact. he did not know Of the appoint
ment until sfter 1t was made.-Ner Age. Aprn 10.
This statement is absolutely false, and was
known to be false to the publishers of the
New Age when it appeared in their columns.
Congressman Milliken recommended and Sc
cured the appointment of Col Lambard as
one of the commissioners TO select the site
for the public building; he recommended the
appointment of Mr.. Bates of Waterville, as
superintendent. We will, however, inform the
public that Col. Lombard is not indebted to
either Gen. Plaisted or Col. c. B. Morton for
his appointment as superintendent of the pub
gentlemen in this city who claim to be the
leaders of the democratic party, ard sought
to prevent this appointment. The New Age
might furnish the public with a copy
by certain gentlemen in Augusta, and one
Simon 8. Brown, chairman Of the democratic
State committee, requesting that no appoint
ment Of superintendent be made until they
were given hearing in the case. We
can inform the public, what the publishers
OF the New Age know, that Col. Lsmbard's
appointment was promptly made, and these
gentlemen were not given hearing. 1t is
rather singular that Col. Lambard, whose
family are among our Oldest and most re-
spected citizens although a life long
democrat, never wavering in his fdel-
ity to the faith OF the democratic par
ty, received no complimentary notice
upon his appointment in the last
number of the New Age. This 10 rather
cruel treatment when 1t is known that Col.
Lambard is one of those who headed the pc
titon of Col. Morton for postmaster. We
think that the least the New Age has to say
about this appointment, the better. 1t is,
however, an appointment that does great
credit to the Secretary of the Treasury, and
it is one that was emInently fit to be made;
and although Col Lambard is democrat,
we took great pleasure in promptly indorsing
this appointment, which we know meets with
almost universal satisfaction among our
Heoplc.
