GARFIELD AND HIS CABINET.
The Struggle Between Blame and Conk-

eff Garfield had any backbone we
net selections with some certainty, but
he hasn't", was the confidential re-
mark to II Post reporter yesterday.
"What is the position about which
there is the greatest contention ?''
asked the Post.
"Two or three arc in great demand.
The fact is the Grant men, as repre-
sented by Conkling, want the two
principal positions of power and patron
age" tr.
"What are they?" ,.....
"The Treasury and Post-office.o
ga nd why can't they have them ?''
"Because Blaine and his friends--the
anti-Grant crowd-the men ,,who de-
feated Grant at Chicago, are determined
that they shan't have them. Blaine
is right. Conkling defeated him, and
Blaine's friends are determined-hav-
ing the power-to pare his claws, SO
that hereafter he will no be dangerous"
is he not ?"
"Certainly, if he will take it,"
"And what is that?"
"His choice of two out of three of
the Cabinet places--the War and Navy
Departments and the Attorney General
ship.D-
"And do you doubt that he will take
what is offered to him ?"
81 do. 1 do not believe that the
man who saved New York and made
Garfield's election possible will be put
off by any such cheap and rafting toys,
where his rival-the man he hates as
intensely now as he did five years ago
is allowed the imperious direction
which the Secretary of State will give
him.
"And Garfield won't make up his
mind, you say?"
"No, he neutrality-suspicious. to de-
cide-reconsiders and vacillates. The
truth is, he recognizes Conkling's
claim to the best his administration
can afford, while his heart or sympa-
thies are all with Blaine. He was
Blaine man before he went to Chicago,
the Ohio host to him after Sherman
was disposed of"
."Well, what is going TO be done
about iL?''
"It is difficult to say. Pretty soon
jysst as soon as it can be arrange Gcd---th"re
will be meeting of Blaine and Oar
field, with few persons Of iDaJruce
and Importance who are en- rapport
with them, in some large city large
enough 10 be a solitude. itwon't be
at Mentor, at least. Then, If Blaine
can pour sand enough into the cavities
of Garfeld's anatomy, the Cabinet
will be fixed up and stay fixed. As it
is now every day they make new

At a recent bird-show in Berlin, Ger
many, green canaries were exhibited.
Others were red, light brown, and gray.
The variations of color had been caused
by the daily use of cayenne pepper in
their food. The pepper was at first
given in small quantities, and the birds
appeared to like it, but the feathers
soon fell, giving them moulting
appearance. In a short time new
feathers OF divers colors sprouted. The
variations were ascribed to the different
qualities of the pepper and to the
quantity given.

We will further say to the Demo
crat that it is not BY criticising either
the style or the length Of the edito-
rails Of its contemporaries from their
country that it will convince the peo-
pie that mastery inactivity is the
policy best calculated to subserve the
interests in the present emergency.
To economic the cost of an extra
session, is in our opinion, to be "pen-
ny wise and pound foolish
Single handed as we are, it cannot
be expected that we could success
fully cope with the brilliant array. of
talent that composes the incompara-
bic staff of the Democrat for it has
its funny and caustic writer's, its
poets, .financiers and philosophers, to
each of whom, are referred the feeble
efforts of the country editors, who
strive to make known the wishes,
the needs, and even the complaints
of their readers.
Withal, imbued with the earnest
desire of promoting the interests of
the mass Of the people, we will con-
tinue to the best of our humble abil-
tiles, to urge upon the Governor that
he call an extra session of that Gen
eral Assembly which has very much
to do to regain the confidence of the
people of the State.
This we will do, the Democrats

standing.

since. In both instances the attempt
came near costing the price Of con-
stitutional liberty. SO lcng as local

This seems the only real live issue
to-day between the Republicans and

ante-bellum Estate Sovereignty by
the experiences Of the war, are the
safeguards of our future security and
national preservation. So long as

those agents of the people, whom our
Republican friends call "the Govern

they at any time supply the loss OF
those agents and create a "Govern-
ment at Washington as they origi-
nally did, and as they have done every
four years since the first Inaugural
ton of George Washington.
But if the United States Courts,
which for time seemed about to be
contaminated by politics and made
the tools of executive and party in
fluences, are not kept pure, and if the
Federal patronage and power ever
oversbadows the organization of
States, mere personal government will
supervene, and some "Grant Dicta-
torship' will rear a monument of
shame to witness the downfall of pure
representative government in Amer
lea.

exactly in the same channel as our
last conversation ran-but it seems
to me we cannot too often call public
attention to the dangers that seem Sc
riouslJ to threaten the perpetuity of
free government from the greed for
personal po'oer and the spoils of pa
tronage, now grown SO dangerous to
pure government at Washington. If
you think it worth while you may
use this in any way your judgment
suggests. Always sincerely yours,
