Hon. 5. A. Aehe, one OF the ASIoSU
Democratic editors in the State wrote
on Dec. 22d, 1894:
You ought to have been among the
first whose merits and services were to
be recognized by the administration.
That YOU have been stood aside 20
long is a great injustice and l have
g Y comprehended either the why
or the wherefore"
Mr.. Henry has been expecting an
appointment under the administration
for two years, but as yet has been dis
appointed. His many friends in North
Carolina-indeed the whole State
think that he has been treated badly.
He ought to have been given some
recognition for his hard work in the
various campaigns through which he
has labored for the Democratic party.
The Democrat hopes that he May now
be successful In securing a good ap-
polntment. If work is eve TO count
for anything, Mr.. Henry certainly de-
serves a good place. Scotland Neck
Democrat, Dec. Goth, 1894.
IF hard work and faithful service
to h party are any recommendation,
no man In the State Is more deserving
of recognition than Mr.. Henry. For
several campaigns he has been in the
forefront of the battle, and it is no
credit to the administration that his
claims have been so long neglected. "
Eastern Reflector, Jan. 1895.
"Mr. Henry has performed enough
service for the Democratic party to
give him a good claim upon it. He has
not only the merit, from q ~partlS9ns
standpoint, which not only warrants,
but suggests, his recognition, but he
has capacity for public place, and it Is
a trife d-iscouraging to party workers
toseehim overlooked while party favols
go TO undeservers. 1t Is high time his
claims had due attention. Charlotte
A68erUer, Dec 1891
Saws one of the most distinguished
Democrats In the State:
'If you are not appointed it will be
an exhibition of bass ingrGtitWde n the
part Of party leaders"
Says another:
cit is a great outrage that something
has not been done for you before this,
and I most earnestly hope something
will be accomplished at ar early day"
Says another:
ST have felt all along than injustice
had been done you, and others given
good position who had no claims upon
the party comparable to yours"
Another gentleman, one of the most
prominent Democrats in the Western
portion of the State, declares:
It is q shame-an outrage-that in
the distribution of patronage you have
remained unappointed. You have not
been surpassed by any man in your
faithful and efficient work for the
party. I still hope that justice may be
done you"
One of the best Democrats in North
Carolina says:
"You have been greatly wronged,
and worse than that you have been
wounded in the house of your friends,
fso called.l Senator Ransom, who
worked to secure positions for persons
not a hundredth part az worthy as you,
and secured them, too, could have long
since given you q good and lucrative
place if he had desired to do So"
I have been practically deprived of
two years of my life by relying upon
your promises. Through you the golden
apples have turned to ashes upon my
lips. am told that you will continue
to do your best for me. I am pointed
to the possibility OLA vacancy. I dc
not look to you longer for anything,
After two years waiting l refuse to
rest any hope uponI the possibility of a
vacancy. Under all the circumstance
the suggestion that I should do so is
but little short of an insult.
am told that you see no chance for
my appointment while hundreds and
thousands of Republicans retain their
positions in the service. On January
2Srd, 1895, I wrote you:
There is a Chief of Division in the
Sixth Auditors Office, Treasury De-
partment, filled for fifteen years by a
Republican by the name of Burbank.
My informant Fays also that Postmas-
ter General Bissell appointed a Repub-
hcan to a 1000 place the other day
and MI. Carlisle gave a New Hamp-
shire black Republican a s., 500 place
recently"
Many positions in the foreign service
~are still filled by Republican Consuls
some of whom were appointed by
Grant, Garfield and other Republican
Presidents.
As late as January the 18th, '95, 1

Consulates filed by Republicans: Osaka
and Hiogo, appointed in '89. Nagasaki,
