Absence of a Mad Rush for Office Under New Administration
A New York correspondent reports Col Lamont disputes any mad rush for office under the new Democratic administration. He cites civil service influence and public sentiment favoring a patient, orderly transition, noting few office references in Governor’s letters and a restraint among party members to avoid embarrassing the administration. He contrasts with Blaine’s era and Garfield’s Washington, predicting cautious, limited post office applications from distant districts. The piece ends by arguing the Democrats’ restraint counters hysterical press misrepresentation.
