BUT NOT IN SPIRIT.

BUT NOT IN SPIRIT.
Among Republicans who are not connected
with the Custom House patty there is growing disSat
isfacton with the in which the local party ma
chine is IL was expected that the President
order excluding all OicchOider from active ptrtcipa-
ton in politics would bring about the desired divorce BE-
tween politics and the Federal oGses TINS however is
Dot the case Obedience TO the order IL tIrdy and III
many cases s been obedience only in the letter and not
in the spirit
A gentleman prominently connected with the anti
Custom House orga ZtOu, expressed hIs views freely
IN tai, matter conversation with TlBuSE reporter
yesterday. Substantially he said: Ii is well known
that %, parry organizations have been run hitherto al
most entirely in the interest OF the oice-holders who
kept men o good standing from taking any part IN P"
ties TArtguurth OF the officers OF the district asspcla-
q, ns have been ncumbents Of Federal or other offices
Those who were not Federal onice-holders Deid
positions ia the D,srict-Attoruey Office under the Com
missioner, or Caaitcs the Excise Commissioners, or
IN tc Police Department. TIE ohicebOldere demanded
ev r io-ou in the organization sud every dclegatc,
even to a ward convention. And the Presidents order
docs not seem produce any improvement except IN
the substitution Of friends Of the Federal officials IN the
posi;ions which the latter held. Those who oe-
cupy places under the City or County Govern
mont of course are not affected by this order
and will continue to be active politicians In
only four OF tie Assembly Districts have the officials
resigned their positions and their successors been
elected, aud in Of thcsc-thc Fitteenth-the Pres
dent Custom House officer, has not yet resigned The
other Districts referred to are Fourth the Eighth
and the sixth. In the NneteouL District the resgua
tions have been accepted bat have been
chosen Where the have been filed II has been
by the election Of tue intimate friends OF the officials
who viii do their bidding and are, in fact only
dummies. II you are familiar with the names
Of those who have been elected fill vacancies the
various districts yOd will that they persons little

Custom House men, Hence the Presidents order viii
