Republican Hypocrisy.

Republicans have the impudence to
accuse democrats of neglecting the claims
of union soldiers in the distribution of con-
gressional Offices. The simple truth of the
matter is that republican sympathy for
soldiers extends no further than the inter-
ests of the party demand. A democratic
soldier may rot in the gutter before a
republican administration would give him
a place at the public crib. while such con-
verted confederates as Mosby are prompt
ly and generously provided for. Aud even
republican soldiers. unless they have pow
erful political influence at their backs, are
invariably left out in the cold" Even
this influence was of no avail in the case
mentioned by Gen. Butler. A stay at
home republican senator, obtained the
office which the crippled veteran asked for.
Sherman's circular is careful to restrict
the preference to subordinate positions "
The superior positions are reserved for
those gallant republicans who never
smelled powder. The motto lie: Now
the cruel war is over. no soldier need
apply except for something nobody else
wants. st, Louis Republican.
