"An Appointment Not Fit To Be Made."
Evansville Courier (Dem.)
The dissatisfaction over the appointment of Hanlon to the collectorship of this internal revenue district is very general and intense. It was an appointment not fit to be made, either on party grounds or on the score of qualifications. The kind of party work with which Hanlon has been credited is disreputable and indecent, to say the least, while he is notoriously lacking in the qualifications requisite to the demands of any responsible office.
