DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET,
RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY cox

II is now definitely believed that the res
ignstion of Secretary Cox was brought about
by pressure, because he dare to assert his
manhood and refused to be tool in the
hand. of the elec,ioneering hounds who
levied tribute upon the poor clerks who
held positions At Washington. 1t will be
remembered that when a certain delegation
OF Pennsylvania wirsworkers interview wed
the head Of the interior department. for the
purpose of gaining permission of assess to his
clerks for electioneering purposes, he gave
consent with this important proviso: Thai
no employe should be compelled to contrib
ute to .he Radical treasury by threats OF
removal in case CT refusal.
For this very commendable act has Grant
and his radical advisers thought best to
induce Secretary Cox to resign. They could
not stand so direct and telling q blow at q
radical system ofinhuencing elections, which
in itself, is a cause of fraud and corruption
found in all branches of the government
under Grant. Mr. Cox was evidently too
hones. Il man to stay in the cabinet, when
to re- main was to be obliged to force his
clerks to give of their petty salaries under
pain of dismissal. 1t is quite probable that
the vacancy will be filled by some geusle man
who understands what are the snews al
war, and will not refuse to hold the axe
over the nscks of reluctant clerks.
