Il. "A. MafClnSGs Esqs
New ORLEANS, La, Nov. II, 1885.
Dear Sir-Your valued letter OF the
9th instant, notifying me of my ap-
pointment as assistant book keeper ID
the Mint, to take effect from this date,
was received yesterday.
In reply have to say that after due
consideration | have concluded not to
accept the situation, referring to de-
vote myself to the practice OF the law:
Also, am a member of several poll
tical organizations and it seems TO me
that in accepting, if [ wished to live up
honestly to the civil service views OF
the present administration. would De
compelled to resign from these organlza-
tions or otherwise remain passive or
Inactive in politics whereas, | prefer
to preserve entire freedom OF action
and act or take such part in politics
hereafter as may choose or see mt TO
do.
For these reasons I must decline to
accent the situation SO kindly offered,
and beg leave to express my high sense
Of appreciation OF your favor and to
tendon my sincere thanks for the same.
Yours very respectfully,
T.. A. MARTINEZ.
Hon. G.. Montegut, Superintendent U.
S. Mint, New Orleans, La.
The conduct Of Mr.. Martinez, present
Treasurer of the Republican State Com
mittee, reflects great credit upon him,
and is at the same time q singing re-
huke to those Republicans who are
clinging to the willows of office and
occupying places that Democrats have
legitimate right to expect. It will be
remembered that Mr.. Martinez took a
very active part in behalf Of Congress
man Gay, in the last campaign, and it
is fair to presume that the position he
has declined was offered him at the in
stance Of Mr.. Gay, who, in that manner,
desired to show his appreciation of the
services Mr.. Martinez had rendered
him. Mr.. Martinez, no doubt felt that
by accepting the place tho motives
which actuated him in the last cam
paign might be misconstrued, and that
he could not, with propriety, hold an
Office under Democratic administra.
ton without abdicating his political
views and ceasing to give to his party
that active support that every citizen
who takes an interest in the conduct OF
party affairs, feels in duty bound to
extend.
