Executive Patr onage.

Milton S. Latha n, who was recently
appointed Collector at San Francisco, Is
the ex-member of Congress from Calfor.
MIA, who voted for the Kansas Nebraska
bill. Verify, he has received his reward.
Numerous as are the Inconsistencies OF
the sham Democracy, DO particular one
is more glaring or more reprehensible
than the practice OF the Executive ap-
pointing TO lucrative offices men who
have inexperienced their constituents,
and voted in favor Of measures recon-
mended by the Executive, with the un-
Outstanding that though they might be
repudia,ed by the people, they were en-
tered on the books as the sure and merI.

while The Kansas bill hung In The
House of Representatives result
Iustifies the suspicion that a number OF
members who were wiling 10 vote for
the bill, were only waiting to drive the
best bargains they could with the Presi-
dent. Men like Edison b. Olds, o! OHIO,
who make politics trade, are IN their
proper element in session like the last
one, and when the votes which they gave
are compared with the appointments winch
they or their friends afterwards received,
there is no difficulty in s,telng the la
between tn In,
We submit II TO any honest intelligent
Democrat, II there be the leas, elemen,
OF true democracy in thus paying mem-
bers oil Congress for voting against the
known wishes and opinions OF their con-
s,ituents. II Is a notorious and an uude-
MED fact, that in the matter of the Kan
sas bill, many men bears knowingly and
delib .rately misrepresented their constr

been indignantly rejected BY tie people.
But true to the pie iges which mus, have
passed between them, The Presiden, has
stepped forward aud offered the emolu-
men,s OF office as IN equivalent, Tor their
political defeats, and payment for their
to the will OF the Executive.
This practice is decidedly the most dam
