The Tribune correspondent, about a
week ago, announced that Ben Bach
man, ir.. was appointed to the posi-
tion of secretary. or would be ap-
pointed. This was wrong guess, as
Charles De Moisey has been appointed
TO the position. The board transacted
the regular routine business, after
which the question of distributing the
offices was taken up and resulted as
follows:
For medical superintendent, Milton
H Hardy, to take effect May 1, 1895.
For steward, H. S. Pyne, to take eff
feet June l, 1895.
For secretary, Charles De Moisey, to
take effect May l, 1896.
For treasurer, Joseph S. Farrer, to
take effect May l, 1896.
All these are Republicans and shows
conclusively that none but Republicans
need apply for positions in the state
insane asylum. The precedent here es-
tablished will in time result in very
serious complications. Every time the
administration changes, change will
be made in the public institutions,
which should be non-partisan.
