These: facts are: Mr. Lamar's chief clerk is one Lock wood, a partisan' Republican. The next clerk to Lockwood, and one who is almost constantly -with Mr. Lamar is one Hanna, a blonde dude. who is, as tar as he is anything an other partisan Republican. It is probable that any : Democrat who would . have occasion to approach Mr. Lamar would have to run the gauntlet of these : two Republican of ficials. It is singular that Secretary Lamar should continue to surround himself by such persons. It is not justified by any possible construction of thecivilservicelaw; Nor dol see. how it can be justified in the sight of any i sincere honesthearted Demo- crat- Perhaps the, same fstate of things accounts forthe continuous in office ot . my. - Kepubiican tnend George B.
