REMARKABLE PREDICTION AND
FIJI iii MENT

Ii Is remarkable circumstance in the re.
markable history of the remarkable party
which now controls the affairs of this repub-
lie, that the clear foresight of its chosen
leaders and popular iavoriies long ago pre-.
dicted the precise course Of degeneracy, and
the final concentration of all power in the
Federal Executive, which has since been
pursued and attained. So long ago as 1926,
Committee of the Senate, consisting of Col.
Benton, Chairman, Mr. Van Buren,, Major
Eaton. and others, made report on the sub.
Ject OF the Executive patronage, with six
bills TO restrain the exercise Of power in the
hands Of the President. The friends and
supporters Of the Administration may see by
the following extract how remarkably the
President and Vice President have justified
the wisdom of their friends, as exhibited in
this report:

ence of Federal patronage is an oyermatcb
