the fsI.aDd il is simply shameful that
respectable men Of the party, wbOI
have been eonsistent:aDd grown aged
ia its service, should be pushed aside
tO make place for this political tramp
Nor do We believe that MT. Hermann's
appointment is strong one, or de-
sired By the leaders Of the Republican
party. II has been said that the CON-
missiODer's Office has been given 10
Hermann ia recognition Of Oregon's
right u be represented IN the makeup
Of the Presidents staff. II this is
true. there was an egregiOus mistake
made which sooner or later will be
dlscoYered. Mr.. Hermann is not a
lawyer Of recognized ability In the pro-
fessiOn in this state. He has no such
attachments as would cause him TO
be designated as fit and capable man
70 decide the various legal questions
that must arise 10 the cOmmissiOneT's
ONCE. IL Is true there are law clerks
connected with the commissioner Of
fee, familiar with the routine OF
duties. and In a general way they may
be capable Of disposlng Of many legal
questions. aud thus enabling the com
missioner 10 get along without much
Law and 10 pass as man Of sense and
Judgment, but this is not the kind Of
a man for the commissioners office.
He ought 10 be first class lawyerand,
II he is such, his attainments are
always recognized and beyond the
reach Of criticism. Mr.. Hermann Is
also free silver man galvanized over
with Mark Hanna's gold. Ii Is said
there are whole lot Of appointments

made are a sample OF those 10 follows
