A Democratic Breakwater.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S. the prospective
institution of patronage under the incoming
administration is giving congressman great
deal o. trouble already, yet some Of them
are willing to erect themselves as breakwa-
ter to protect the Democratic president
against the rush of the tide Of Office seekers.
1t is proposed by them that the senators and
representatives from the respective states
agree that certain proportion of the patron
age in each state shall be controlled by the
ing patronage shall be controlled by the rep
resentatives of the district to which the ap-
pointmentis to be made. If the president
will agree to this arran ngement they say he
can save himself an immense
amount of trouble by simply
saying to the applicants that they must be en-
dorsed by their congressman. This will
place upon each senator aud representative
his share of the burden, which, being thus
widely distributed, will be light upon all.
When the congressman has run over his list
and decided whom he Will recommend, he
will only have TO notify all the other appli-
cauts that there is no opening for them. 1t
is stated that this plan for dividing the spoils
is under serious consideration bv some Of
state delegations in congress, but the COM
mon opinion is that the Cleveland admins
tration will scarcely consent to practically
surrender the appointing power into the
hands of congress

Especial Telegram 70 the Globe


BosToN, Mass, Dec. 2S.-The Record
prints telegram from Portland which SAYS:
"A well known Republican politician and
stump speaker was in this neighborhood day
or two ago, and, of course, he was prepared
to explain Blaine's defeat. He had been in
New York since the election, and he came
home in the full belief that Burchard did il
on purpose He said that he had some
time ago suggested this to Mr..
Blaine and that the latter had
laughed at him, but in recent conversation
Mr.. Blaine had told him that he had about
come to the conclusion that Burcbard had
really said his say with his wits about him.
Mr.. Blaine said further that II was his own
fault that the thing had been allowed 10 hap
pen, that he ought never to have let the in
terview occur without knowing just what
was to be said. Such a mistake will probably
never be repeated, and it is perhaps not too
early TO announce that, in case Postmaster
Manley succeeds in renominating Mr..
Blaine in 1888, clergymen and others who
expect to offer spontaneous tributes of re-
spect to the Republican standard bearer must
in every case submit their manuscripts for
revision.n
