WHAT Is AN OFFICE HOLDER "A
stranger on this planet who should take
up Greeley newspaper just now, and
get all his information of our politi,s
from that, would learn that an Office hold
er is in the most degrading business that
man can engage in. aud all the terms Of
iniamy are summed up in one when a
man is called federal office holder. He
would certainly judge from the Greeley
papers that it is very disgraceful busi-
ness to hold federal office, and that no
word of contempt can be attached to a
man equal to that Of "ofiice holder"
He would on wider acquaintance with
our world be puzzled to understand how
this impression got abroad with regard to
Office holders. He would see that in
other governments it is considered honor
able to serve ones country 10 a public

capacity, even with salary attached to
the service. He would learn that even
in our own country the trust implied in
one who receives a responsible Office is so
grateful that men are willing to take it
often when its emolument is less than
they could obtain in some private STA.
ton.
He would learn, a,so that the average
Office holder in this country is quite as
honest as the average private business
man that there is actually less cheating
and defacation in public life than in pri-
vate-in proportion to the men in each.
He would of course find rascals aud in-
competents in all occupations, but he
would be puzzled to know why the term
effice holder is of itself one Of daily re.
proach in the Greeley press.
His perplexity would, however, be in-
creased ten.fold when he discovered that
all the Greeley men are engaged iu an
attempt to make themselves or their
friends "office holders" lie would find
that while federal Office holder il Just
now, er-oficio the most corrupt person
in existence, a federal Office seeker is a
pure and sincere patriot. He will learn
to read with kind Of shudderipg horror,
that snch number of the participants in
a Grant meeting are federal Office holders.
This title will be set opposite their names
as sort of brand of dishonor. But when
it comes to the report OF the Greeley
meeting in the Greeley papers, mono Of
the ardent patriots who compose it will
be characterized as "office seekers"
Considering what an Office holder is
and must be from the constant aspersion
of him in the Greeley papers, be will not
be surprised to know that if Mr.. Greeley
is elected that they are all to have their
heads cut off, but he will be surprised to
know that their places are all to Se sup
piled by Greeley men, who have such a
contempt for an Office holder.
We confess that this is one of the mys-
teries of the present canvass to US. Fit
is SO contemplate to be a federal Office
holder-and the Greeley press apply it
in contempt to a man who may be ever
so honest and cficient-wby is it that Mr..
Greeley promised in his Portland speech
in effect, to make new dcal of the fed
eral Offices all around? Probably the
federal Office holder selected by Fenton
and Cochrane and Greeley would be
very different being from the present fed.
