Cass as Indian Agent.
Correspondence ofthe Enpress.

WASHINGTON June 13.
1t will take some time and some labor to unbur-
den from the rubbish of the Public Documents, the
facts connected with the administration and NAL
administration of Gen. Cass as an officer of the
General Government The Democratic nominee
has grown rich upon the spoils of office, doing
nothing, we are willing enough to believe, per-
sonally, and yet holding most unscrupulously to
the creed that to the victors belongs he spoils
of office.
Gen. Cass was Governor of Michigan Territory
from 1913 to 1921, and received a liberal salary
as compensation in the discharge of his Guberna-
toral duties. His love of acquisition, and perse-
vering application, however, secured for him an
extra compensation, nominally for Indian service;
of fifteen hundred dollars year additional, as
salary, and beyond all this, ten rations a dag,
equal to $3.50 year, from the date of his appoint
ment in 1912 to the end in 1921. Here is an ex-
ira allowance of $2,230 per annum, for discharg-
ing duties incident to the office of Governor, which
he held and for which he was literally paid. All
this, of course, was independent of his salary as
Governor.
On the 3Oth of April, 1881, General Cass, after
begging steadily for ten years, received $l0,5O0
as extra compensation, and on the 18th of No
vember, 1899, S3,s75 was allowed him as addi-
tional pay, the particulars of this case may be
found in document 2l2-354, Congress, Sd Seq
sion, H. of R.

lowing items under the head of allowances made
to Governors of Territories, to cover expenses in

Canada goes for Cass.

Gov. Cass has but apoor look for the Pres

his principles harmonize with the interests of her
