The Ne,ss In its endeavor to indict
Senator Gray OF nepotism eonvicts itself
of imbt cility and either gross ignorance
or an attempted cunning dishonesty. OF
tbs eleven cases cited senator Gray had
in his power to have elevated but two to
the positions they attained. and these
were men who fairly met the stan lard OF
fitness. How Senator Gray could secure
the appointment OF q relative to retired
naval citizenship is one OF the humorous
mysteries of the NetDs' article. Then
the citing Of his appointment OF bank
cashier and jail phy,i:ian is more non
ssnsical still, by reason OF the facts
that both officers had secured these posts
before Senator Gray had attained politi-
cal position. As far as Senator Grsy's
responsibility for the appointment Of
Collector Gtoome and Deputy Collector
Kl'ght, OF Mary land, is concerned. he
could, with IS much justice, be accused
OF responsibility for tn Fetersl appoint.
