Patrick Ford, editor of the Irish
World in q letter to the editor of
The Sacedish Worker, thus expressed
himself in reference to Cleveland ;
"The nomination of Cleveland was
an insult and defiance to American la
Dor. 1t is the duty, as it is within
the power, of the workingmen of the
United States to resent the insult.
If Cleveland is victorious, monopoly
wins double triumph. Butler would
be my choice, but we lack the ma
chinery to elect him. To give our
votes to Butler is to give the election
to Cleveland. Enlightened selfinter-
est and the principles of justice de-
mand that Cleveland should be de-
feated. Therefore l 60 for Blaine

Names claim to be the birthplace
of the republican party is disputed
by Vermont. The date of the con-
vention at Strong, where it was be-
lieved that the party was first orga-
nized and christened was August Z,
1854. Hon. f. p. Walton of Mont
pelier, in letter to St. Adams Mes
Se"ger, says that convention of ''all
persons in favor of resisting by con-
stitutional mean the usurpations of
the propagandists of slaYery," was
held at Montpelier on July 10, 1851,
at which the name of republican was
adopted for the new party. This
was twenty-five days earlier than tie
Strong convention. The Messenger
editorially mentions the prior claim
of still another State to the honor.
MIR. p. ". Smalley, in his history OF
the republican party, says that the
Michigan State convention, held al
Jackson in June, 1855, was the frs
representative body to take the name
The birthplaces of the republican
party are becoming almost as numer
Gus as those of Homer.

The latest reports from the SCUBA

The latest reports from the Soudan
represent all hostilities suspended
during the Ramadan, which began
June oath, and continued month.
The situation was this-the Anglo
Egyptian troops terrifying themselves
at Assouam and other frontier points,
to prevent the invasion of Upper
Egypt; Khartoum and Dongola be-
sieged, Berber occupied by the rebels,
and the Mahdi marching at the head
of his forces in the direction of DON
COLA. One of the lieutenants of the
Prophet, Abullah Waddakair, was
en- route for Dongola, and in the di-
rection of Abu-Hamed long conveys
of munitions and provisions were
in movement for the use of the insur-
gents. Once Dongola is seized, the
rebels will be able to cross the Eas-
tern dessert, and gain upper Egypt
by way of Berber or Suez. After the
oath of July the English Major
Kitchener expects an immediate re-
sumption of hostilities and estimates
that in case the Mahdi gains posses
sion of the advance posts, at least
100000 British troops will be needed
to arrest the invasion of Upper Egypt.
Meanwhile the English Cabinet con-
tinue to take an optimist view or the
situation. The last definite news
from General Gordon March 1st)
was of the same character.

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

Judge Thoman of the civil service
commission is of the opinion that the
civil service law has accomplished
the end for which it was framed, and
that civil service reform is an ac-
complished fact. 1.-The principles
of the present law have come to
stay" said Mr.. Thoman, "and no
matter what the political complexion
of the next administration may be
the ideas of the present law will be
carried out" The board is at pres
ent engaged in the examination of
papers of applicants for positions as
pension examiners. There are $50
of these officials to be appointed,
and it is said that there will be at
least 400 applicants whose papers
will entitle them to be certified to the
secretary of the interior for appoint
ment. The beneficial effects OF the
law are seen in every department.
A year ago every government building
swarmed with a crowd of office seek
ers daily, and business was greatly
retarded in listening to their appeals.
Now scarcely place hunter is left.
"The civil service act, said an Off
clal who is acting in the place of one
of the absent Cabinet officers, "has
proved itself such blessing that the
competitive examination feature will
be extended to the minor places be-
fore long, and by fall not even Ia
borer will be appointed to wheel the
trucks without the aid of the civil
| service commission"
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1884-08-04

We have no idea that Gen. Butler
will support Gov. Cleveland for
President. His reasons are not per-
sonal to himself, but are decidedly
personal to Cleveland. Whatever
Gen. Buffers defects of record may
be, no one can say OF doubt that he
has been consistent in his support of
the working-men's cause. He is
not going to betray that cause in his
old age; therefore he will not sup
port the democratic nominee for
president. 1t is we'll understood in
New York that Gen. Butler will soon
formally accept the labor domination
for president, and the Tribune says
that he will give some curious facts
as to the inside working of the Chi
