The prisoner spoke in her own defense She
violently attacked the government, and de-
clared that the issue OF pamphlets to soldiers

It is evident that Gov. Cleveland
must very soon show his disapprova1
of the sordid and spoils-hunting
policy of his party if he would pre-
serve his reputation for fairness and
elevation of purpose, says the New
York Times. The Democratic man
ayers who rule in Albany are bent
Oh converting every scrap Of official
patronage into partisan capital.
While measures of large public in
terest are neglected. The Demo-
cratic majority in the Legislature are
engrossed with searches for new ep-
portunities for place-hunters. Indeed
it would appear as If there were moth
ing so distantly removed from poll
tics that is not reached for, and moth.
inc too small and mean to sweep up
into the party feedmg-trough. The
scheme to add l 800 to the alread y
large number of potaries public
in the State is only one Of many evil
dences of the absorbing greed of the
Democrats. The general overhaul
ing ofthe politics of thenotaries now
in commission il said to emanate
from the Office of Gov. Cleveland
Il is in the interest of the Demo
cratic Party. Petty schemes Ike
this may not have the Governors
sanction. Their constant rnultipii-
cation will ultimately compel The
Governor to declare himself as op-
posed to Or in favor Of a policy o.
spoils hunting.
