The Cincinnati Gazette tells Mr..
Garfield to ''let the bosses go-in
making up his cabinet-the "bosses'
referred TO being "Conkling, Blaine,
Grant, Cameroa and Others" and it
adds: ~ hfa .h.1 .a.a ..i, .e3
. "By the nations election the pres
iident is the biggest man in the party.
He can be such in spite of all the
senator dictators He has the power
to beat any of them that undertake
to make war upon him. By going
outside of them and their nominees
in forming his cabinet he would give
them no cause to make war upon him,
and would avoid mourning the hos
tility which he would incur from one
by seeming to favor another. There
are good and capable men outside of
these oigarchs and their partisans.
The Republican party is scandalized
by the assumption of these bosses,
and would heartily respond to a
course of the new president which
should be Independent Of them"
Very good advice, but whether the
President elect will have the nerve to
follow it, remains to be seen.

deniably very enervating,s and when
followed by very mild winters, the
human, constitution cannot in this
latitude, recover from the effects Of
one before another is upon U.S. thus
steadily sapping the vital energies.
The fact is that the often sharp, short
winters al Texas, horthers included,
are the one redeeming point in its
climate, but for which mankind must
surely degenerate throughout her
broad domain. They brace up the
