We havo no doubt that this Is q fair report OF
whnt Charley Heed Ia blowing about At WNshinR.
tor. llc undoubtedly believes In tho !" nlachIne"
but unfortunately tho pcopio Of this city do not
nlwnys Rhnro in hA opinion Of himself d a com.
potent Judge. When public acnt1nont In th,s
enormit.cs Of tho !" ,naohtn0," even conventions
take the lborty Of putting 1naohlnlsts " out OF
office. and tho people havo way Of defeating
tnncbtno- nindc oandidntes at tho polls. Mr 1tced
can boar Testimony as to those facts.
1t seoins that Afr. Reed has aclectcd hlmsclfin
advance rs dolcgato to the Presidential Con-
vontIpn from tho Firat District: ho represents
himself NJ q miller, a1d tho other Republicans
Of that district as whcat which 1t IA bis business
to grind for Ills own pr0flt. AS a machine man he
's n professional p'ace-hunter, who RESUMES
TINT tho Republicans Of bis district have no
further interest In politics than TO give hItn and
othors llkp him Office. Mon tIko Mr. Reed. labor.
ing ,insser TINT impression, haye sare than once
found themselves ropudinted by those whom
they nssu.ue to rlllo. In hia vapury ebfoviatlng
speech Mt Washington he assumes TINT
the Republicans Of tho First District
nro MI thlrd-tormcrs, and TINT they aro
sInp1y 20 much baso metal to DO used by him
for his " "1naGhino" purposes. It docs not seem
to have occurred to thta maehInIst that there
nro otlcr thfnl.torncrs In TINT district who may
aspire to be delegates. and evon aspire to Con-
gros..; i1Ie trnvc1y whistles NIL othors into tho
background, md announces that he has ar-
polluted himself tho delegate, boca,lso, con-
trolling tho maghlna, ho cnn do whnt ho thinks
proper. There may DO some persons who may
not have very clcar Idea Of whnt "machfue
politician ls. hfr. Heed offers hEns0lf as spec
lnon. Ito claims to bo proud Of the title.
1fcrcnfter, whenever any porson 10 charged With
being n "n1ncnne politician" tho charge 1uay
bo considered offensive or complimentary, ju8t
ma the likeness to Heed mey ho considered 10.
| Tho specimen furnished Ia 4 fnir one, and ono
with which everybody Is familiar. Afr. Heed IL

never two opinions concerning him; Of his per-
sonatt professional, moral, political. and iotcl-
| lcctual qualities, there ID general unantE1sy;
