Miss Sweet, Chicago lady, under
took to fill her dead fathers position as
Pension Agent. She was in every
respect qualified to perform the duties
of her Office, but she had to pay $1,000
for the privilege of doing SO. The fact
that she was blackmailed became pub
lie. Tie money she had paid was re-
funded, but the blackmailer is permit
ted to retain his position under the
Government. Is there an act of Grant $
administration more disreputable than
this2 Permitting a man who exacts

The RECONSTRUCTED CABINET

In the reconstructed Cabinet Taft
has been transferred from the War De-
partment to the Department of Justice,
Attorney General Pierrepont having
been appointed Minister to England.
Mcdonald Cameron, sou of Simon, of
Pennsylvania, has been nominated for
Secretary of War. His appointment is
regarded as the selling price of Penn
sylvanias vote for Conkling at the
Cincinnati Convention. Young Cam
eron was never heard of, except as a
son of the old man, and is known only
as wire worker at primary meetings
and political gatherings. 1t does not
require a great man, however, to fill the
position held SO long by Belknap. The
requisite qualifications consist OF
ability to drive sharp bargain ia post
traderships, and rob the poor soldier
under pretepse of being his friend. If
young Cameron does not possess these
he is not a son of the Senator from
Pennsylvania.

STATE CONVENTIONS.

Three State Conventions for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
National Conventions meet to-day.
Two of them, Illinois aud New Hamp-
shire, are Republican, the other,
Michigan, is Democratic. In the lat
ter it appears the Tilden men are
largely in the ascendency and will
probably instruct the delegates to sup
port him for President. The action
of the Ohio Convention virtually ruled
Thurman out of the race. In New
HAMPSHIRE the Blaine men have q
large majority, and it is expected that
two thirds of the delegates will sup
port him at Cincinnati, the others be-
ing for BriStow. In Illinois, where Bris-
tow's honesty made itself felt among
the revenue defrauders and whisky
thieves he is not expected to carry a
single delegate. The whole machinery
of the Republican, PARTY is at work
against him in that State. By pros
ecuting revenue collectors and sup
pressing illicit distilleries. he cut off the
great source of supply for campaign
funds, and candidates will have to
draw on their private purses for
means to purchase votes. Under
these circumstances it is not sur
prising that the Chicago Custom
house, and the whole force of the
Administration thieves in Illinois
should be up in arms against Bristow,
and opposed to his nomination for
the Presidency. They do not want
honesty aud reform in the Govern
ment, and for that reason prefer
Blaine or some body else whose
skirts are tainted with corruption, to
o man of unblemished reputation.

In the good and gone-by days of
the happy past, candidates for pub
lie favors, if they were not the boast
ed patriots of the present day, had at
least more real policy, charitable pol
icy than our present ones. We were
forcibly struck with this pensive
idea, at our attendance at the recent
Fair, purely christian and charity
one, on missing to our great surprise
and regret, the legions of candidates
who should have graced the Hall by
their attendance. We hardly know
how to account for this, and had to
palliate it to some of the fair ones,
this criminal absence of our would-be
saviors and patriot friends. There
is something radically unsafe and
wrong in this and our ardent expec.
tants Of the pap-line should lose no
time in making amends Of such mar
row-sighted policy on their parts
We pity the candidate in the next
contest who ushers out with the
scowl of fair woman instead of her
approving smile.

in the path of charity. And they
most generally receive a feeble,
though we'll meant aid, from few, a
very few, outside of the Town, who
always are willingly ready to add
their mite to the charitable work. 1t

BAD BOYS.

Our Town has been again dis
graced by fresh raid of some of her
boys, who have earned the unenvi-
able soubriqtet ofbad boys, and we
feel forced to side with our decent
portion of the Town, in considering
these bacchanalian mischiefs as sc
rious nuisance and a criminal mis-
chief which should be abated. Thus
far they have taken advantage of all
religious and charitable performances
to commit their mischief, and like
chicken thieves masked in darkness,
yet continue at what they think their
smartuess. So far they have eluded
the authorities, escaped merited pun
ishment thereby, but as almost every
body knows them, though proof Of
identity be not at hand, we fear that
some of our injured ones, who are
continually marked out for damage
by these bad boys, will be forced to
take the matter in hand, outside Of
the law and the Town Ordinances,
and visit harsh and severe punish.
ment on them. In this forced course
they will be upheld and aided by q
large majority of our good Town
people.

THANKs.-In the name and by the
authority ofthe Ladies ofthe Church
of st. Francis Xavier, who were the
managers of the late Fair for the ben
eft of that Church, we return to the
open-hearted and generous public,
who so nobly and literally answered
to their call for aid, their most sim
cere and heartfelt thanks. They en-
gagged and started on their mission of
love and charity with the well.known
assurance of the proverbial liberality
of the community to whom they once
more appealed for succor, and their
most sanguine expectations have been
surpassed, and they would surely be
insensible to the sacred touch OF
gratitude were they to fail on this
occasion to use our columns to thank
their kind friends and generous fell
low citizens.
