Mr.. John p. Clevinger, of Smithburg,
Monmouth County, New Jersey, is said to be the
last survivor Of the crew of the United States
frigate Brandywine, which bore General Lafayette
home to France after his last visit to this country.

General on board in an armchair and hoisted him

Our Sham Rcformcrs.

1t comes to us that in the recent ex-
plot at the Post-Ohice Department
whereby q small assembly of notables
improvised from within that establish
ment sat upon the grave question
of selecting one-thousand-dollar clerk
about one hundred applicants were put
into the first examining sieve, Of which
number only seventeen went through
that these seventeen being put into
sieve No. 2, only four were found
able to get upon basis where
the final struggle was made for
excellence in the great conundrum match,
The place went to man by the name of
Springer. From several sources we are
informed that Mr.. Springer is Demo-
crat. This we consider fair cause for
complaint on the part Of Republicans.
The ninety-nine rejected applicants
were undoubtedly chiefly Republicans,
That no one of them was fit for the lowest
grade of clerkshipsseems incredible The
men who shouted for Hancock last sum-
mer and fall were defeated. The people
voted thatMe public business shouH be trans
actedJy Republicans, and they ymeantit. The
crippled soldiers who are here suffering
for employment, with wives and little
ones dependent upon them, see the law
constantly violated which was passed to
insure them some chance for public en-
ployment. They see Democrats en-
ployed by men they helped to
elevate when they made Republican
Cabinet possible. We hope they will
cry aloud and spare not They shall be
heard through The REpunLIcAN and
have i'm it an advocate. We de-
spise the tricks of sham reformers,
by which they eyade the clearest obliga-
tions which political honor imposes.
We say to Mr., Curtis, Mr.. Schur2, and all
who seek their applause that the people
vote on election day TO determine which
party should furnish the men to trans,
act the public business, and the
officer who employs men of the
beaten party defes and contemns
the people, who are the constitutional
rulers in this country. On this line Tn
REPUBLICAN will fight it out if it takes
until election day in 1884,
