THAT PORTLAND RECORDER.
CL1D


The Portland recordership is now
brought to a pass where the good
people Of that city should be able to
"sleep o'nights."
The Executive Council has exer-
cised its prerogative and refused to
confirm the Governors first selection.
This appears to have been done with
out rejecting discreditably on the
gentleman he first selected and has
served warning on governors present
or to come that there should not ap-
pear to be any interference on the
part Of the executive with the per-
Torrance of the duties of the judi
iciary.
The Governor, while denying any
purpose to do that and deploring the
act Of the Council. recognizes its
prerogative and submits another
nomination. In doing this he has Sc
lected Republican, and according to
all that we learn has wisely selected
a man of excellent character and I'M
questioned ability to fill the position.
Assuming these to be the facts, It
is pleasant to contemplate the oppor-
tunity so afforded for better cooper
alton in the administering of our
State affairs when this matter ID
cleared away. The Governor, seeing
that the court should continue func-
tioning and believing that what has
occurred has interfered with the
public service, has promptly submit
ted another nomination, evidently in
the spirit of public service. A like
attitude on the part OF The Council
