The editor of the Silver State sneeringly alludes to the assertion contained in the Mining News, whose proprietor is temporarily localizing on the SENTINEL, to the effect that Mr. Daggett's recommendations were accepted without question by several of the departments in Washington. It quotes from Daggett's letter and then says:
"This shows conclusively how little the gentleman who assisted Madison Wells & Co. in giving the electoral vote of Louisiana to the man who was not entitled to it knows about the influence an honest Republican, like Daggett, has with the rogues who run the departments and control the Administration at Washington."
The article of the Silver State, if it shows anything, proves that its editor is wofully ignorant in some things. Presidential appointments, like the Indian Agency, are made in the White House, not in the departments. A man of Daggett's bearing can have no influence with the cunning hypocrite who occupies the Presidency, but we assert he has in the different departments.
