Carl Schurz declares that he will

3 Che President to the ID by the
20 anti. Civil. Service Democrats of the
country.
A number of Democratic states
men are offsetting President Cleve-
lands apparent forgetfulRess OF
their existence by coming forward
with the declaration that they will
accept no position.
81. Upon the announcement OF the

tie result of discovering that be

10 wonder appointments come so
slow from the Executive when i; is
conSidored that in the quarter Of
century that has elapsed since
Democrat held office, all the veter-
aus have died off or gone out of the
business.
Il. Allthe fellows in office are so
much pleased with Mr.. Cleveland's
appointments that they are entirely
and abundantly willing to serve in
The same administration with them.

American policy was brave and
Defiant, but the courage was not
very daring after all. However
? bravei it may have been it lacked a
navy to back its pretensions.
1T appears that there is nothing
Al Ike tue anxiety reasonably to be
Z expected Immediately after the &C
ia eession to power of a Democratic
a administration, among prominent
:. Ohio Democrats for the nomination
y for Governor. Even Governor
a,,H0adly says he does not want to
.,1be nominated. So say Geddes,
Al Converse, Hill, and all the rest OF
az the usual, not to say chronic, aspi-
j, rants.l Do the Democrats give up
., Ohio ia advance ? Has the Cleve-
.,iland chill touched even the ardent
O. OHIO Democracy?
aaoeDemocracy in Tennessee appears
Ito be as forlOrn thing as it is in
Virginia. The Democrats in Ten
ssneSsee quarreled over the debt of
tho state and incurable wounds
q were then inflicted, and since that
srQuarel, they have begun dispute
.u-tbat promises infinite trouble, upon
railroad matters, and the result is
"a very great weakening of the
p integrity Of the party organization,
land Of diminished respect for it's
prQgessed principles.
.n There are many reminders to
r President Cleveland of intense
DemocIatic dissatisfaction at the
appointment of Pearson as Post.
sfmdster Of New York. 1t was
,SFaiher rough on the "boys' and
,rworkers to have an important
alofIice ike that of Postmaster Of
e1NeN York city, with its two thOus
.snnd or more voting officials, given
Sito Republican who voted fol
Nllaue. Nevertheless the "bOys
'racouiesce and submit, because they
canhot help themselves, and ask
Dthc President to believe that they
Iwill forgive him this time while
etbcy hope he will not repeat the
'thingtoo often.
