This mau is called effigy Sargent because his constituents in California, while he was in Con- gress, buened him in effigy because of his personal dishonesty. He is regarded by thos- who know him best as a dangerous and corrupt man. <A fittmmg person to represent this government «broad, he is. A few days ago a prominent Re- publican from Cincinnatti remarked, that if President Arthur should rise above party and appoint Democrats to office his lite would be in danger, and,he said the remark had been made, that if the President should adopt such a course his life would be and ought to be taken. Such are the results of the official spoils sys- tem, maugurated and maintained by the Republican party. Offices are bought and sold. and the purchase price is political servitude.
