The Washington herald., 1916-05-22

The poisonous influences which had
long been gathering about the system OF
appointments to Office. the spirit Of in
trigue and of personal aggrandizement'
the insistent scheming and dictation OF
members of the houses to force their
preferences and the arguments of their
private interests upon the acceptance OF
President Garfield. the braZen, indecent
clamor of the meaner sort Of partsans
for the preferment, seemed Of sudden
TO work with fatal violence upon affairs
Mr. Garfield asserted a will Of his own
in the matter. and the two senators from
New York, Mr.. Roscoe Conkling and Mr.
Thomas Collier Platt. resigned their
seats. as if upon some weighty quarrel
in matters of state. because he would
not heed their wishes and choose their
nominee in naming collector for the port
Of New York.
Office seekers swarmed about the Presi-
dent with quite unwOnted arrogance, and
before he had been four months in his
uneasy place Of authority one Of the
crowding throng whom he had disap-
pointed wreaked foul vengeance upon
him.

as he passed through a railway station
at Washington on his way to the seaside
TO seek much needed respite from the
harassments OF those first months of bit
ter wrangle and discord. he was shot by
Charles Jules Guiteau, a man maddened
by disappointed vanity because he had
not obtained the office he sought.
For eight days the President fingered
between life and death, but death con-
quered, and on the 18th Of September the
end came.
On the 20th Mr.. Arthur took the oath
as President
Thoughtful men had looked about them,
the while to see what this new and sin
lister thing meant Some part OF its eX-
planation lay upon the surface. 1t might,
no doubt, fairly be ascribed in part at
least, to the sharp faCtional split that
had shown itself in the Republican ranks

Mr.. Garfield.

Mr.. ConkIing had led, and who had fought

A Disgraceful Farce.

1t is rather late in the day to hold a new
election for the choice of delegates from the Dis
trict of Columbia to the Republican national con-
vention, but unless that is done the certificate of
election that will be presented to the convention
will in effect be indictment of the citizens of
the Capital for lack of intelligence. The head of
the ticket which, according to the returning
board, received the highest number of votes, de-
clared before the count that the primary was the
"rottenest" that could possibly have been held.
and the discovery that he had a long lead over
the other candidates did not change his opinion.
His vindicaton came when the certificate of cleo
ton was awarded to another ticket. 1t is possible
that the convention will pass favorably upon the
credentials Of the men who present themselves
as delegates from the District of Columbia, but
1t is to be hoped not. The only persons who
can view the farcical and disgraceful proceedings
with halfway indifference are those who refrain
ed from voting having anything to do with the
so-called primary.

The attention Of the country was fixed

upon the character and influence Of the
CIVIL service.
Not a little OF the true nature Of the
existing system Of appointments to Of
nee had been laid bare by AIr ConkIing's
extraordinary act Of seIf-assertion. The
use Of appointments as rewards for party

startling confirmation Of all that the ad-

Discouraging an Industry.

to burn factories and bomb ships, has been SEN
fenced to eight. years in prison. This will have

as long term and if Capt. Tauscher, husband
of Gadski, is sequestered for a time and given
opportunity for reflection, it may be that the

to be rated in Germany as extra hazardous and
fewer gentlemen will feel attracted to them as

This paragraph signed by w. J. Bryan, ap-
pears in the current issue of the Commorer:
There is some talk of Fred Lynch, of Mime
sofa, for Democratic national chairman, and il
is even whispered that Arthur Mullen, the new
member from Nebraska, has his eye on the po-
sition. But surely the committee would not
select either of these novices in machine poll
ties when it can command the services of Roger
Sullivan, past master in the art of corporate
domination, fresh from his victories in the great
State Of Illinois, If the party is to be differed
by Wall Street, the best that Wall Street has is
none too good" If Mr.. Bryan still regards
himself member of the Democratic party
his proper course would seem to be to help it to
do the right thing, rather than constantly to
pick on" it in public. Or, perhaps he realizes
that he wields no influence now except through
the Commoner.
