Of these two, one was Mr. Blbee. appointed Re ceiver of the Land Office at Oregon City, and against Mr. Bibee's integrity I at no time urged any complaint, as I had no knowledge on the . subject and "had no reason to do this, but i did feel, and o rged upon the President, that Mr. Bi bee's business Experience was not such a -to Justify- the expectation, that li would iOiak a capable; or .efficient Re ceiver. Tha main objection, ' however, that. I urged against Mr. Blbee' appoint ment wa that it was intended as com pensation to .-a member of the Legisla ture who had united lwlthr- Democrats and Populist to, defeat the .Republican. candidate ror united states Senator In the Legislature of 1901, and had assisted In bringing about the election of Sena tor Mitchell, and also that Bibee repre sented! an element In the Republican party with which I had no affiliation, and received much consideration at the I nda of- the Administration and that .he sound-monev element of the nartv eylth' which I was allied' had received practically no consideration. This last 'point I made generally against all the appointment made by tne President ipon, - th reoomniendatlqn, of Senator blltchell - ' .. i,i ? AppolntmntFrov4tfnflt.
