Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Utah Review, Vol. 1: December, 1881
He then secures such endorsements as he can from men in office in his own or other States, and when there is a vacancy the President will appoint him, unless some other applicant has a more weighty suffrage of influential men in his favor. Very seldom does the President remove, save for cause. We hear much of the clean sweep of a hundred thousand officers once in four years, but we never see it. Not even when the rebellion broke out, and there was the first change of parties in half a century, were the civil officers very freely superseded; and we were crip pled all through the war for this very reason - the offices being full of Southern sympathizers.
