day relative to alio nominations of collector arthur and naval officer cornell to alie senate I transmit herewith a letter of the secretary of alie treasury in regard to alie suspension of alio late collector and naval officer of the port of new york with accompanying documents in addition thereto I respectfully submit the following observations the cuiston house in new york collects more than two thirds of all the customs revenues of the government its administration is a matter not of local interest merely but in of great importance to tho people of alio whole country for a long period it has been used to manage and control political all airs th suspended by me are and for several vears have been engaged in the native personal management or party politimi of the city aind state of new york the duties of alie offices held by them have been regarded as of importance o their partisan work their offices have been conducted aa ft part of the political machinery under control they have made the custom bouse a center of partisan political management tho custom house should be a business office it should be conducted on business principles col james postmaster of new york city writing on tills subject says the postoffice post office is a business institution and should be run as such it is my deliberate judgment that I and my subordinates can do more for the party of our choice by giving the people of city a efficient postal service than by controlling primaries prima or dictating nominations the now york custom house should be placed on alio samo footing with tho new york but under the suspended officers the custom liouta would be ono of tho principal political agencies in tho state of new york to change this they profess to believe would be in the language of cornell in his response to surrender their personal and political rights convinced that tho people of new york and of alio country generally wish tho new york custom house to bo administered solely a view to the public inter cut it w my pur to do all in my power to introduce into this great oice tho which alie country with iny information of cacti in alie caad and with a sense of the responsible obligation imposed upon ino by the constitution to tako caro that tho laws be executed I regard it aa my plain duty to suspend the officers in question and to make tho nominations now before alio senate in order eliat this important may be honestly and efficiently administered signed 11 n executive mansion jan 31 79 |
