I am not here pleading that any additional patronage. as such. be given to the Secretary of the Treasury. I am under no obligations to that official. as the Senate well knows. In the original appointment of the commissioner of immigration for the port of New York neither my colleague nor I was consulted in regard to the appointment. although I was chairman of the Committee on Immigration. I favor the bill not because I desire to give any additional patronage to the Secretary of the Treasury. but because. in my judgment as a Senator. it. under all the circumstances. is the proper thing to do. Whether wisely or unwisely. these gentlemen are to be in charge of public affairs for the next two years.
