COURAGE. Ma PRESIDENT.

Democrats of New Ennland, indeed to q
large extent throughout the country, are
watching with interest the contest for the
appointment of Postmaster ct Augusta, Me.
The issue seems 10 be whether Mr.. Blains's
wishes or the wishes of the united Dsmoc-
racy Of Maine shall prevail. With all due
Difference we wish 10 record one vote with
the Maine Democracy.
1t is stated as beyond doubt that Mr.
Blaine has on two separate occasions asked
the President not to appoint Colonel Morton
Postmaster of Augusta.
1t has also leaked out that the President a
few days ago indicated his purpose to ap.
point Colonel Morton, and that soon after
this purpose became known the Maine Gen.
stors called at the White House and notified
the President that Mr.. Morton was specially
obnoxious to Mr.. Blaine, and warned him
that II he (Morton) was nominated he would
be rejected by the Senate. Greater imperti.
nence on the part of Senators to the Presi-
dent would be difficult to conceive of. 1t
should be treated accordingly. and we make
no doubt but the President will do it.
1t will be time enough for Republican Sem
ators to act on nominations when in the
usual way they are before the Senate.
No man was ever backed more strongly,
and none have bad cleaner record to pre-
sent. than Charles B. Morton, and the con-
duct of Mr.. Blaine and the Maine Senators
in tie premises presents additional reasons
why the appointment should be made. that
the country may know that Republicans are
lot In power at this time.
A valuable and sterling New England
Democratic exchange well remarks:
It can not be possible that President Cleveland
allows Mr.. Hlsine's opposition TO Mr.. Morton as
Postmaster at Augusta TO affect his position in the

THE "oLD SOLDIER" BUSINESS.


THE "OLD SOLDIER" BUSINESS.
General Logan is worrying himself because
some ''old soldiers are being turned out OF
official position. he nesd not let this annoy
him. The administration will take care of
"old soIdieTs." There is geod deal of Re.
publican humbuggs-y stalking around in
the clothes of 'old soldiers" and masquera-
ding in beth the blue and the grsy. The
country repudiated John A. Logan last fall,
and be pretended to De something of an
"old soldier" himself, but the exact point OF
transit where John ceased being copper
head" or "butternut' and eYoluted into an
'old soldier has never been satisfactorily
located. These Republican crocodile tears
over the old soldier business are played out.
II any Republican "old soldiers lose their
positions there will be an abundance of
Democratic 'old soldiers put in their places.
When Hayes was defeated for the Presi-
6ency the burden of his lamentations took
the shape of bogus mourning for the poor
negro, yet when he was fraudulently bat
safely located in Mr.. Tilden's seat in the
White House, he deserted the poor negro's
supposed friends SIS they were represented in
several Southern States, although they had
reached official position By the very
tsme bogus means that he had reached
the Presidency, Hayes of course was
q humbug, and so is John A. Logan. AS
Hayes poured out bogus lamentations over
the "poor negre," Logan pours them
out over the "old soldier" What does
he care for ''the old soldier" as such?
If the soldier votes the Democratic ticket
Logan does not care baubee whether he Sc.
cures an office or not. Did he rejoice when
Ger era Black was appointed Commissioner
OF Pensions? Did anybody ever hear OF his
shedding tears oyer the defeat of General
Hancock because he was an old soldier?
Hancock contributed largely to tina Gettys-
burg victory. What difference dill this
make to Logan or any other
Republican? Hancock was q Demo-
cTst, and this cut him of from Repub-
iican patronage and sympathy. There are
to-day ten or fifteen of Logsn's relatives
holding Federal positions. Are any OF them

Scarcely a week has passed since the election

COLONEL DICK THOMPSON as AN
EVOLUTIONIST,

Colonel Thompson has seen every President of
tbe United States but the first two and has partic-
father was Democrat and Federalsl, aud voted
for Jackson. but the Colonel early became Wing,
ana remained one until that organization was
merged into the Republican party.-Times.
Yes Colonel Dick evoluted right along into
and through all the parties that have existed
during his long life. The connecting link
between the Whig party and the Republican
party is, however, missing in the foregoing
extract from the Times. Republican papers
seldom care to refer to it. The old Whig
party went inio the Know-Nothing organiza-
ton, the history Of which is simply dis
grsoeful to American politics, and old Dick
Thompson was one of the Grand High Priests
of that organization. This Know-Nothing
crowd, with the old Abolition organization,
which held that the Constitution of the
United States was a covenant with
hell" formed new party, which
they called the Republican party. During
the wsr the party was so thoroughly distsste-
full to the great mass of the American peo-
pie that the bosses and managers dropped
the name of Republican and called it "the
Union party" Dick Thompson swallowed
every thing and climbed right along up
through them all-Whig, Know-Nothing,
Republican and Union-until he reached
the fraudulent Hayes Cabinet. He has been
exceedingly useful to the Republican party,
especially in helping them to make up its
National platforms. Ho had knsck of
"cotchin' the coon gwine or comin'." more
particularly at the time when about nine
tenths OF the people were opposed to
negro Suffrage. Then old Dicks plat
forms were models of oil and
CANNON. The old Abolitionist of
Massachusetts,, the conservative Wing Of the
Middle States, the Knownothing of Ken
lucky and Maryland and the backward Indj-
ana Republican-all had to be accommo-
dated, and old Dick Thompson's smooth and
bombasiic platitudes seldom failed to meet
the wants of the entire combination. II the

Thompson is distinctly entitled to red rib

culture under the last administration, it
seems, was absent from the bureau at least
three-ausrtets of the year, and most If not

accompanied him. had to be paid out of the

one first class junketing trip across the con-

estimated that they had travelled over 10. 900
miles, making 10000 miles for the two in
their sixty.dsy trip. Altogether these two
gentlemen travelled over 500 days at Govern
ment expense. This, at $40 per day, is over
5000. More than one-half of the appropria-
