The Shorter Catechism Without Answers.

Why did Hayes nominate Wells to be Surveyor of the port of New Orleans? Why did he make Anderson Deputy Collector there? Why did he make Keener and Cazenave Custom Clerks there ? Why did he make Steams, of Florida. Commissioner of Government property at Hot Springs ? Why did he nominate McLin for Chief Justice of New Mexico? Why did he nominate Cowgill for a United States Marshalship? Why has he just appointed Packard Consul to Liverpool ? Did he do these things, which debauch the civil service, for nothing ? Is it only a coincidence that these are the very persons who stole the Presidency ? Is it only another coincidence that Noyes, Kasson a»d gherjuan, who told these

fellows that, if they put Hayes in, then he should take good care of them, have themselves been placed as Ministers to France and Austria, and Secretary of the Treasury, respectively ?— Brooklyn Eagle.
