Mr. HENDRICKS. The gentleman's memory is not very reliable. He asks me if all Presidents have not appointed to the judicial offices of the country men of their own political o: Why, sir, one of the last acts President Johnson did at the last session was to appoint a brother Senator who was one of the leaders of this body against him, Senator Clark, to be district judge in the State of NewHampshire, a gentleman known to be a leader against him. Do you suppose that was disagreeable to me? I was very glad when that Senator failed to be indorsed by his political party at home by a reelection that th. POTUS could find it right to give him that high and honorable office, and I voted for his confirmation with the greatest pleasure in the world. That is a case in point; is it not? But I cannot go back through all the appointments that have been made. But here is a duty to be performed under the judge of the district court; and because there are a few men on some of the district benches that are not Republicans, perhaps, you will not allow them to make these appointments that properly belong to the court. If it belongs to fo court, let the court appoint. But, sir, I am not going to discuss this matter. These duties are to be discharged under the judgment of the court, and the court ought to have power to remove the officers on principle. I did not rise, however, to discuss the question, but just to express my views about carrying polities into everything. Of course I am a very fair specimen of a party man. I never pretended anything else. There is no concealment so far as I am concerned on that point. But party polities never influence my personal relations and personal feelings. because I differ with gentlemen of the other party, I do not believe they are all scoundrels; and I should despise myself if I did not have warm personal friends where I live among gentlemen that would not vote for me; friends who would do me a kindness, and who would believe in my integrity in the discharge of any official duty. I have been disgusted a good deal of late by seeing jurors brought into the box simply because they were party men. I want to know if the Senfrom Oregon believes in that kind of business, selecting a man as a juror because he is of a particular political party.
