Show I I FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS. ., . '('.; I Tho Salt Lake Herald (a Kearns 1 , . ' i aldo light), assumes to give informa- ; tlon to Its readers as to how the fed- , oral ofllces in Utah are to be disposed 1 ' of under tho present administration. ' It very gravoly anounces, as though it , , wore publishing something now that i Llppman and Hoywood will not be re- , appointed. No one with a grain ol I I . polltlenl sense has over thought they ' ' would bo. They have been traitors to ;i , . - their pnrty, and when they became so , ' ; 1 placed themselves beyond the pale of i' iA ' , party recognition, r I It says that William Spry Is to be ' ' - Ileywood's successor; that 12. II. Cal- lister will not bo disturbed as collector ' ,.f of Internal rovenuo; that Postmaster Thomas will not bo a candldato for ro- , ' appointment; that Mr. Hobbs will very ' A likely fall of reappointment, and that . : ' Georgo A. Smith, because ho is an f, ' apostle, will be left alone. . ' ' Truth ventures to say that tho Ilorald has no reliable authority for its statements. No one over thought " , j that Mr. Calllster would bo removed. ' j There Is no cvldenco, whatever, that j . . ' 'V.' ' 1 Mr- Thomas will not bo a candidate li t ' for reappointment. Tlio position of ;-' ' postmaster of Salt Lake City will bo k ' -'' . i ! solely at tho disposal of Senator Suth- .; ;'. j orland. The friendship that exists bo- . tween tho ox-governor and tho senator j is well known. It has not been con- , . ; coaled. Truth makes tho prediction i 1 1 Hint Mr. Thomns will bo his own sue- ' ' cossor; and his reappointment will be ) endorsed by tho business men and citl- j zons generally. It is not very likely i that Sonator Sutherland would signal- f j l.o his, election ns senator by chang- Ing tho olllelal around whoso head ; , tho bitterness of tho Kearns fight . , principally rnged. Senator Sutherland . - is not built that way, and further, ho . ' ' has tho reputation of being truo to his If friends. ' f. 1 Survoyor General Anderson has y , hardly the right to expect a reappoint- I mont. No wns a member of the logls- . j laturc which disgraced Utnh by the election of Sonator Kearns. It has been stated, and not denied, that the promise of tho Ogden postmastershlp made him tho ex-senator's friend, but before the postmastershlp became vacant, va-cant, the survoyor general died, and ho was appointed to succeed him. Mr. Anderson Is in a measure responsible for tho trouble and sorrow which has como to Utah because of tho election of Kearns. Ho will not likely be reappointed. reap-pointed. If Thomas Hull is appointed to succeed suc-ceed Anderson it will bo a good appointment. ap-pointment. Tho statement of the Herald as 10 tho land officers is undoubtedly idle gossip. It is hardly probable that Sen ators Smoot and Sutherland h'ave even considered tho matter, and when they do they will not use the Herald as a mouthpiece. Wo think It will bo found, when all of tho apointmonts have been made, that the present federal olllcers who woro antl-Kearns men will remain where they are, because tho last elec-:ion elec-:ion was an antl-Kearns election. Nothing moro nor less. |
