save the party, does not, even, help II I" IN
local or national point of view"
Let us sec how the lesson has been
taught. Commencing In New England,
look at Massachusetts. More honored than
any other state In the Union, four of her
citizens having had seats In the cabinet
and with what result? In 1879, she elect
ed washburn, republican, governor, by a
majority of over seventy-four thousand
votes, while two years later she elects Gas
ton, democrat, by majority rising of
seven thousand votes. Connecticut, too,
with one cabinet minister, gave republ-
can majority for governor, in 1872, of two
thousand, against nearly seven thousand
majority the other way In 1875. The re-
naming New England states have been un-
honored, aud we see New Hampshire re-
deeming herself from democratic misrule,
while Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island
maintain their old time republican supre-
macy. New York and New Jersey have
each had two cabinet officers, and in 1872,
gave, respectively, upwards of fifty thou
sand and fifteen thousand republican
majority, while, in 1874, the ma
jorties were about the same the
other way. Ohio, with two "consiitu-
tional advisers" changes from thirty-seven
thousand republican to seventeen thousand
democratic. Illinois, also, with two adj:
vsers, shows loss TO the republicans of
seventy thousand votes. Kentucky and
Georgia, each with one representative,
more than quadruple their opposition ma
joriies in two years, while Maryland, SINH
larry represented, jumps from nine hundred
majority to over thirty-one thousand.
Iowa alone is not lost, although she re-
duces her majority over fifty per cent. in
the same two years. We we'll nigh forgot
Oregon, the home of that eminent jurst and
profound statesman, George II. Williams.
Two years ago she rolled up majority Of
little over four thousand for General
Grant and elected republican governor,
but last fall she made clean sweep the
other way. Michigan, Wisconsin and Min.
nesota have been passed by in the dstribu.
ton of cabinet favors, but, although they
have been weighted down with that glori-
GUS tro-"Zack" Chandler, Matt. Carpen-
ter and Alexander II. Ramsey-and Min
nesota had N carry William S. King as an
extra load, YET, while they bowed before
the storm, they lost not their republican
supremacy and are now as strong in the
faith as ever. Kansas has not graced the
cabinet with any of her sons and, notwith.
standing the disgrace of haying "honored
Pomeroy and Caldwell, she is still erect,
gves an old-fashioned republican MAORI
W, a.d keeps company with Nebraska.
Inc changes in the congressional delega.
ton are equally significant In the las,
congress, the cabinet states had twice a.
many republican representatives as demo
cratic, and now the democrats arc nearl,
double the number Of the republicans.
What 90 all these facts show-2-Is th
president destined to blight everything b
touches? Blight his friends as he former
ly did his foes ? If SO, let us be dull,
thankful that cabinet favors have been con
fined to eleven states. 1t is not becaus,
