DIsINTEGRATION.


SENATOR SPRAGUE has made sever
al speeches in the Y. S. Senate, de-
nouncing his party associates for their
prohigacy and corruption, and predic-
ting the ruin Of the country if they
did not change their course. Senator
Ross, of Kansas, and Senators Cameron
and Scott, of this State, have also made
speeches severely rejecting upon the
appointments made by President
Grant. of course this is merely a show
of honesty on the part of these men,
and is not to be taken as evidence of
sincere repentance Of the folly and
crime in which they have participated
during the last eight years. But it
shows the gradual but certain disin-
tegration of the radical party. The
downfall of that corrupt and rotten
organization is approaching. Let it
come.

The twenty seven extra pastors and
folders appointed By the late iegisia-
ture are provided for in the appropria-
ton bill at an expense of so, 900 to the
x-payers. Most OF these fellows
had a complete sinecure during the
session, not performing any service at
all. Some Of the Radical newspapers
protested very loudIy aginst this out
rage in the beginning. Among these
was the Bedford Inquirer. Nothing
more. however, is heard from these
sources in regard to this matter. The in
iqufty has been accomplished. but the
radical editors have nothing TO say a
boutit. Another election is approach
ing, and the fear is that some ofthe men
who voted to pay these pa5te-sliingers
will be left at home. Cannot the IN
qui.ef say just word upon this sub
ipct ?

HUFE-


Ohrno, they never mention it! We
mean the fact that j. NJ. Russell, Jacob
Barndollar and Al Cline, the Whig
delegates who represented Bedford and
somerset in the Convention Of 1889.
The radical newspapers of this legisla-
tive district are mute as mice on that
subject. They affect to be delighted
with the votes of Stutzman. Weller and
Longenecker to undo the wcrk Of
those old Wings, but We really think
the editors quietly wish these three
legislative WORTHLESS at the devil. 1t is
the business, however, Of these slaves
to party leaders, 10 swallow any phi
the latter may prescribe for them.-
Nothing but tame and abject submits
sion can be expected Of them. But the
masses Of the radical party-are they
slaves 100?

THE Posi- OFFICE IMBRoGLIo.-
"DAD0 APPOINTS HIS OWN MAN AND
IGNORES THE PEOPLE. SOMETHING
Rotten IN DENMARK.-Maj.D Daniel
Washabaugh has been appointed by
the President and confirmed by the
Senate, as postmaster at this place, rice
G. Loyer, resigned. Maj. Washabaugh
is a competent man, aud will, no doubt,
discharge the duties of the office with
care and fidelity. We find no fault
with the character Of the appointee.
In fact az IL is ''none of our funeral,
we stand back, like bound boy at a
husking," and content ourSelf with the
role Of u serene .iooker-on. But as a
faithful chronicler of passing events, it
becomes our duty to inform an anX-
ious and inquiring public as to the
manner in which the eappointment was
made.
1t will be remembered that on the
Goth Of February last, the supporters
of President Grant, resi6ing within
the range of delivery at the Bedford
post office, held an election to indicate
their choice for postmaster, at which
A. :. Russell received i26 majority
over all competitors. This result was
considered decisive and conclusive, by
the people of this neighborho0d, and
Mcssrs. Minnich and Arnold, who were
candidates against Mr.. Russell, grace
fully and cheerfuliy submitted TO the
pooular verdict. Everybody accepted
Mr.. Russell as the coming postmaster
and there was general satisfaction with
the choice thus made The Inquirer
of Feb. 26th said: "Mr. Russell has
been clerk of the post Office for some
time and discharged the duties of the
post TO The satisfaction of all parties,
and well deserves the high compii
ment paid him in the very tlattering
vote he received on Saturday. lie
will make an obliging and efficient Of
ficer." In this the Inquirer expressed
the feeling ofgenerai satisfaction at the
selection of Mr.. Russell which per-
vaded its party. But, 1t so happened
that the choice Of The people was not
the choice of f'our'' congressman. Mr..
Cessna has interests TO subserye in the
future, and he did not think Mr.. Rus
sell the man to use in carrying out his
ambitious projects. He determined
that the appointment should not be
made. True, the popular voice was
loud and positive for Mr. Russell. but
what ca1es Cessna for the people? He
knows that heretofore he has always
whipped them into the traces, and he
thinks he will have no trouble ia. do
