Sometimes the laws provided that not all the members of the appointive boards should "belong to the same political party" or "be of the same political opinion in state and national issues." It was clearly the intention to wipe out the partizan complexion of such boards. But this device was no stumbling-block to the boss.
They decided that only church members should hold office and vote. Governor Carteret ruled the colony with an appointive council and a general assembly elected by the people, the typical colonial form of government.
Visitors from Chicago used to refer to him, it was claimed, with naïve simplicity as "Mary Leiter's husband," and let it go at that. A person of extraordinary ability was this husband of an American queen, and it is generally believed that he may some day be prime minister of England. The viceroyship is the highest appointive office in the world.

The Spanish cabildo, or town council, however, afforded an opportunity for the expression of the popular will and often proved intractable. Its membership was appointive, elective, hereditary, and even purchasable, but the form did not affect the substance. The Spanish Americans had an instinct for politics.
Denial of the right to hold legislative or administrative office, either elective or appointive, to all Jews other than those whose parents and grandparents were all born in the United States. Denial of the right of naturalization to Jews on the ground that they are not assimilable. Prohibition or very strict limitation of further Jewish immigration.
And in this he was quite right. I would have declined the office, not because I was offended at him, but because I would not accept that or any other appointive office.
