The republican organ grinders are
all playing on one tune at present,
viz; the downfall of the democratic
party in consequence of dissensions
over the division of the offices. But
rs yet nothing has occurred to war
rant the prediction of any serious
trouble on this score. The changes
in the civil service are being made
in decencv and order, without I'M
seemly haste; and invariably first
class men are selected for the posi-
tons within the gift of the admins
tration. Those who imagine that this
sort of action on the part of President
Cleveland and his advisers is going to
weaken the democratic party have a
wrong conception of the material OF
which that party is composed, and Of
the temper ofthe country at this time.
The Democrat has the utmost con.
fidence that such course will great.
ly strengthen the administration by
gaining and holding the confidence
of oil good citizens whose first con,
concern in politics is that the gov
eminent is wisely and rightly ad'
ministered. And coming events
will demonstrate that our confidence
is not misplaced, Notwithstanding
the voice of the republican press is
lifted up with one accord to the con.
trary.
