NOTWITHSTANDING the wonderful
agility displayed by Dan Voorhees, in
keeping track of and endorsing all the
vagaries of the Democratic party for
the last twenty ears, that ungrateful
organization now wants to turn him
adrift because he is in favor of admin
istration and revenue reform. In view
of his heresies on these points the New
York World declares that sit becomes
a duty for Democratic journals to dis
avow Mr.. Daniel voorhees, and per-
NIT him to 60 where he belongs" If
the World expects to read all the men
out of the Democratic party who are
opposed to the Inauguration OF civil
service reform before the next cleo
ton, we are afraid it will have hardly
a corporal's guard left.
