William H. Seward, who came so near defeating him for the Repablieannomination at the Chicago Convention, was made Secretary of State; Sulmon P, Chase, another almost equally prominent Presidential candidate, became secretary of the Treasury; Simon Cameron, called Pennsyivania’s favorite son and Can'didute, was Secretary. of . War; Edward Bates of Missouri, who bad beeu the candidate of what were known. as moderate and border State Republicans, became Mr, Lincola’s Attorney-General, and Montgomery Blair, «ho bad been for years acandidate for the second place on the Republican ticket, was made Postmaster-Geueral, Nor was Mr. Lincola by any means alone in thus attempiing to unite his party and strengthen bis administration by bringing into his Cabinet the most important personages the country who held his own political faith. John Quincy Adams, as far bick as 1825, introduced the practice by calling to the head of his Cabinet Henry Clay, who had been one of his chief competitors for the Presidential office. James K. Polk, who became President in March, 1845, nominated as his Seoretury of Stute James Buchanan, who bad stood fourth among the competitors for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency at the National Convention of 1844. —. i Zachary Taylor, who succeeded to the Presidency in 1849, brought into bis Cabinet as Secretary of State Joho M, Clayton, of Delaware, who hed been voted fur atthe Whig Nutional Convention in 1848 as a candidate for President, In the next succeeding Presidential term, 1853-1857, Maroy of New York r ot State, he having beeu from the first to the last ballot.a candidate for the ed Pierce over all competitors at the R.sltimore Convention in 1852.

The example of instance of a President-elect endeavOring to coneilliate and consolidate his party by nominating to the Cabinet nearly all his conspicuous cowpetitors for public favor. Another question that connects itself with the selection of the Cubinet of President Hayes is that of the suggested retention of one or more of the Cabinet of the outgoing President. Theincumbents suggested as atall likely to be reappoiuted are Messrs. Hamilton Fish, Dou Camer:}on, and Alpbonso Taft. In the case of a President not re-elected but chosen for the first time, the heads of departments as a matter of course tender their resignations, The accéptance of these resignations is by usage wholly within the option of the President-elect. Where a chan of pee takes place with a shaun of President, such resiguutions are of course almost always accepted in all cases; and have been many instances in our political history where a incoming President of the same _polpredecessor, has thoaght proper to continue in office incumbents of important Cubinet offices. When John Adums succeeded Washington as President in 1797, he continued in office ali the heads of departments except the Secretar vf bei adh babies had declined, alough he thought proper to get rid of Timothy Pickering, Seantees of State, three years luter, in 1800, almost unknown to the} Presidential nomination which select.

While it =u! be taken for granted, on the one hand that the incoming President may not as thoroughly the country as General Grant did on his first comdag to the i chair in 1869, with the nomination of heads of dewithout political prominence and esontry, there are decided doubts upon the other band whetber ~ Hwill follow the example of Lincolu and some of bis predecessors by nominating to these distinguisbed post i : jters of his own parMr. Lincoln, it will be remembered called around him as a Cabiset, four if not five, of the Republican politicians whose names had been prominent as. candidates for the Presidency. William H. Seward, who came so near defeating him for the Repablieannomination at the Chicago Convention, was made Secretary of State; Sulmon P, Chase, another almost equally prominent Presidential candidate, became secretary of the Treasury; Simon Cameron, called Pennsyivania’s favorite son and Can'didute, was Secretary. of . War; Edward Bates of Missouri, who bad beeu the candidate of what were known. as moderate and border State Republicans, became Mr, Lincola’s Attorney-General, and Montgomery Blair, «ho bad been for years acandidate for the second place on the Republican ticket, was made Postmaster-Geueral, Nor was Mr. Lincola by any means alone in thus attempiing to unite his party and strengthen bis administration by bringing into his Cabinet the most important personages the country who held his own political faith. John Quincy Adams, as far bick as 1825, introduced the practice by calling to the head of his Cabinet Henry Clay, who had been one of his chief competitors for the Presidential office. James K. Polk, who became President in March, 1845, nominated as his Seoretury of Stute James Buchanan, who bad stood fourth among the competitors for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency at the National Convention of 1844. —. i Zachary Taylor, who succeeded to the Presidency in 1849, brought into bis Cabinet as Secretary of State Joho M, Clayton, of Delaware, who hed been voted fur atthe Whig Nutional Convention in 1848 as a candidate for President, In the next succeeding Presidential term, 1853-1857, Maroy of New York r ot State, he having beeu from the first to the last ballot.a candidate for the ed Pierce over all competitors at the R.sltimore Convention in 1852. Tiseky._i 1857, James Buchanun ‘made ral Cass his Secretary of State. Causes bas been one of his three competitors for the Presidential nomination before the DemooratThese instances, while they show —s like a general political usuage, still leas a precedent of any binding fores such as might be assumed to control the personal wishes or the blie action of the incoming Presimt, ere of interest as indicating how some of his predecessors have viewed the matter. The example of instance of a President-elect endeavOring to coneilliate and consolidate his party by nominating to the Cabinet nearly all his conspicuous cowpetitors for public favor. Another question that connects itself with the selection of the Cubinet of President Hayes is that of the suggested retention of one or more of the Cabinet of the outgoing President. Theincumbents suggested as atall likely to be reappoiuted are Messrs. Hamilton Fish, Dou Camer:}on, and Alpbonso Taft. In the case of a President not re-elected but chosen for the first time, the heads of departments as a matter of course tender their resignations, The accéptance of these resignations is by usage wholly within the option of the President-elect. Where a chan of pee takes place with a shaun of President, such resiguutions are of course almost always accepted in all cases; and have been many instances in our political history where a incoming President of the same _polpredecessor, has thoaght proper to continue in office incumbents of important Cubinet offices. When John Adums succeeded Washington as President in 1797, he continued in office ali the heads of departments except the Secretar vf bei adh babies had declined, alough he thought proper to get rid of Timothy Pickering, Seantees of State, three years luter, in 1800, almost unknown to the} Presidential nomination which select.
