Gorham Aspire to Herold’s A | ELBGRAMS from Washington re- celved yesterday by Frank A, Leach, superintendent of the United States Mint in this eity, | announce that Senators Perking and Bard have recommended the appoint- ment of Charles M.-Gorham melter and refiner to fill the vacancy cau death of Alex Martin. This dation settles a controversy. Th ponsation attached to the position is $3000 per year, The appomtment is really a promotion, as Gorham held the office of | assistant colner at a salary of $2000 per | wnnum. He went into the Mint many | when Benator Sargent and | Page w in position 1o bestow Fedaral patronage in California. He ia o brother of George C, Gorham, who figured conspleuously tests this State, and who was defeated for Governor by H. H. Haight, and ub- sequently chosen secretary of the United States Senate Frank A. Pedlar, formerly postmaster at Woodland, brother of Dr. Pedlar, U. 8, A., was an active aspirant for the office of melter and refiner. It was expected by many of his friends, among | several the that he would obtain the influence of Sen. tor Perkins. When the news came from Washington that the Senators had set- | tied the contest in Gorham's favor he was surprised, but the decision did not dis- | gruntle him. The message conveyed the | information of his promotion to the posi- tion of assistant colner to succeed Gor- ham. The number of aspirants to succeed Rudolph Herold on the Board of State Harbor Commissioners is legion. Her- old’s term of four years will expire next Wednesday. Among the aspirants are Thomas Kirk- patrick, member of the executive branch | of the Republican State Central Commit- tee; C. H. 8. Pratt, Pilot Commissioner; | Frank Marston, a prominent Native Son; | State Senator Jack Tyrrell, and Sig Bett. "man. As Herold is a Democrat the Gov- | | ernor encounters strong pressure in favor | of immediate selection of a Republican Commissioner. The hard work of listening | to everything said for and against the ap- | plicants does not now wholly devolve upon Danjel Kevane. The new Adjutant Gen | eral, George Stone, chairman of the Res | publican State Central Committee, is ac- | cessible to the expectant. During the strenuous times of the long Senatorial | contest supporters of Burns were held together by promises of patronage on the water front. Many, if not nearly all ot these promises, remain unredeemed. The clamorous seekers for a sign of redemp- tion have been told time and again that the Governor and the ‘“colonel” could do nothing as long as the Democrats had a voice in controlling appointments. When Colonel Kirkpatrick, manager of the Pal. ace Hotel, was appointed to succeed Ma. jor Harney the army of the promised hoped that daylight would break, but the push was cast back into utter darkness the unwelcome news that Commis- oners Kilburn and Herold had nailed everything in sight for months ahead. | The same old story will probably be told jle a way | by the mew Commissioner, whoever he be. Now a new crop of assurances will soon ripen and promises will be as thick on a water front job as autumn leaves in Vallambrossa. ¥rom aM accounts it appears that the Governor does not intend to make special te in the selection of Herold’s succes- sor. Patronage expected is alluring to many political workers, but patronage distributed possesses a charm for only one of the many. 1t s noted, moreover, that Democrats the war horse kind are very close to Gage administration. It is an open tion whether the last Harbor Com- stoner appoifited by Gage is not more | a Democrat than a Republican. In | udd’s blue book he is rated as a Demo- crat, There Is no doubt, however, about the political soundness of Thomas Kirk- patrick of the Republican State Central Committee. His fealty to the party is vouched for by Dan T. Cole, who s serv- {Ing hils cougtry in the Mint.

Rver since Uncle Sam's postoffice be- gan making stamps, in 1847, or there- abouts, the face of Washington has ap- peared on-one of the stamps in every regular issue, and with a single excep- tion on a stamp of low value and general use. Benjamin Franklin's face has al- ways adorned postage stamps of low value, and has thus become familiar to people who send or receive letters ever since 1847, Presidents other than Washington whose faces have appeared on the stamps are Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Garfleld, Grant, Madison and Taylor.
