Letter on United States marshal appointment in Massachusetts
A Massachusetts letter to the editor argues against nominating Mr. Lovering for U.S. marshal as General Banks's successor. The writer warns the choice would harm civil service reform, alienate anti spoils factions, and aid the Republican party, urging a fit Democratic choice aligned with Cleveland's administration. The piece asserts Banks is qualified and criticizes Lovering as disaster for party unity.
