The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, Washington, ID.
c:
Satisfactorily morning I went TO Nor
folk to report in person to Mr.. William Il.
White. the newly-appointed United States
Attorney for this district. l was told By
Mr.. White that you had informed him
that the commission OF the Assistant
United States Attorney expired with that
Of the United States Attorney and that
he was at liberty 10 suggest some one
for appointment al your hands. lie also
informed me that there were several
applicants for the position, but ne had
declined, or would decline TO take the
responsibility Of making a rccommenda-
ton, and would leave the matter with
you. In consideration OF these circum-
stances, ] may. therefore, communicate
with you on this subject, without is-
noring Mr.. White or violating any Of the
proprieties which the occasion demands.
As far as l am Informed. no charges
have been lodged against me, and
desire, therefore. 10 respectfully make
application for continuance in my present
position, or, for Teappointment should
you deem such a proceeding necessary IN
my case
l was appointed Assistant United states
Attorney in May, 1885, at the personal
request of the President, and held the
office continuously from that day until
June a. 1896. when. under the new law
regulating the appointment OF assistant
United States attorneys, / was reap
pointed at the suggestion OF MI. l+asslei'
who testified in his letter OF recommen-
dalton to the satisfactory manner in
which | had discharged my official duties
/ respectfully REFER to Mr.. Lassiter Tor
any information concerning my connec-
ton with the Office since that time.
From the tenor Of your correspondence
with Mr. Lassiter, incident 10 his recent
resignation, l conclude that the depart
ment will not attempt TO regulate the
political opinions of its officers or their
political affiliations: provided their action
is not contrary TO public policy. In order,
however, that there may be no mlsunder-
standing, | desire 10 state that am
now and always have been, a consistent
Democrat, and while ] have taken no
specially active part in the pending cam
paign, l am a supporter OF MI, Dl5a I'LL
and shall cast my vote for the noml-
nees Of the Democratic National Con-
Vention.
If this latter fact does not weigh with
you / shall be glad to be continued In
my present position. If. however, my
affiliation with the Democratic party Is
calculated to embarrass the department.
You have but to suggest that my resigna-
ton will be agreeable. and it shall be
Immediately forthcoming.
Mr.. White informed me that he would
probably see you in a day or two, hence
/ have written this letter in order that
my application might be filed before you
discuss the matter with him. have
the honor, sir 10 be, very respectfully,
WILLIAM HENRY MANN.

18th instant. / did tell MIR. White that the
policy of the department Is TO permit
