your action in no manner affects my
reinstatement, the reinstatement of
Moore merely being equivalent to

Mr. Swearingen's reply to Mr.. Cliff

Mr.. W l.. Clifton, Barlow, Fla.
Dear Sir: Governor Cats has
turned over to me your communica-
ton OF the sixth instant, to him, with
reference to your reinstatement to
the Office of superintendent of public
instruction for Polk county with the
request that reply to same direct.
Il am of the opinion that when the
senate sustained the governor in his
original suspension of you from the
office named, the case so far as your
right to the office was concerned, was
closed When the matter came up this
year ] advised the governor that 1t
was not a case for reinstatement but
that the course to pursue would be
for him TO suspend yonr successor
and commission you as II you had
"orer held the ofIice. The action of
the supreme court in reversingy our
conviction has no bearing on the mat
ter, in my opinion Now that Mr..
Moore has been reinstated your ap-
pcintment automatically becomes void
and of no effect The power resting In
the chief executive is to reinstate at
any time he deems fit, so that the
case remains one of mere suspension
and not of final removal by the con-
current action of the senate. Under
the circumstances | know of nothing
you can do except, perhaps, to ques-
tion Moore's right by quo warranto.
As to that. however, your attorneys
are eminently able to advise you.
am confident that writ of mandamus
would not lie at this time, even If the
supreme court were in session and
could be induced to entertain original
jurisdiction, which | seriously doubt.
Yours very truly.
