buOuiu ue phuly tuHubyeu, we sinai
hold the postmaster.gen.ral and the
president--and not the Times aud
Evening Post--to a just responsibility.
st. Louis Globe. ID emocra,: When
Republican hears disappointed Dem.
ocrat denouncing Cleveland, he should
whisper mildly Ia his ear the words OF
Gen. Bragg, OF Wisconsin, in the Chi.
cago convention: 1--WE love him for
the enemies he has made"
philadelphia Press: II president
Cleveland wants To get along harmo-
niously with his party there Is but one
way TO do IL. He must put over the
inside of the door OF every Office occu-
pied by Republican sign inscribed:
This Way Out" and call the incum-
bent's attention to 1t.
New York Sun: If, after all, Brother
J Pearson should be appointed postmas.
| ter of New York, TO the lively disgust
of many Democrats, ordinary graft
tude would command him to ran his
establishment, with it's regiment OF
1900 men, next fall so as not to injure
the Democratic party any more than
is absolutely necessary.
st. Louis Republican: The Republi-
can papers scott at the various little
economies begun by the new admin
istration. They forget that to keep
close watch on the little leaks is the
surest evidence of thrift. To cut off
useless expenses Is economy. To dis
charge supeiflous EN- plDyes Is retrench-
ment. To supplant Republican rascals
with honest Democrats Is reform.
Philadelphia Times; Mr.. Cleveland
is making his appointments slow ly,
but he Is making them wisely. Each
one OF his leading selections has been
disappo to the spoilsmen and
an agreeable surprise to the country
at large. If the new administration
do not prove success, il will not be
for want of ability in it's officers or
of earnest purpose In its guiding head.
Philadelphia Press: 1t was doubIy
cruel in Mr.. Randall, first, to defeat
the whole Kentucky crowd by knock
ing out Phil Thompson for internal
revenue commissioner, and then to in
wade Kentucky and pick out one OF
their opponents right under their eyes
for comptroller of the treasury. No
wonder Brother Watterson doesn't
know precisely how he feels. He is
too big TO cry and hurt too badly to
laugh.
Boston Post: Mr.. Henri Watterson,
of the Louisville Courier-J Journal,
comes promptly to the front with the
opinion that in the organization of his
cabinet President Clevel- nd has made
q mistake 1t will probably be long
time before Mr.. Watterson will get
things done to suit him, unless he at
tends to them himself and then the
rest of the American public might
kick Henri seems to be troubled
about many things, which Is about the
only respect in which he resembles
any Of the New Testament characters.
New York Sun: Now that these
dlsquieting causes have been removed
by change Of administration, ques-
tons which were put aside by the law
of selfprese rvation will come to the
front, and the South is likely to di.
vide upon them as the North has done.
In partisan sense, the solid South
may be regarded as thing of the past.
1t Is, OF course, possible that the South
ern states may all vote for the same
! presidential candidate in 1888, but
; there are many reasons why such re-
suit Is far from being probable. The
strong motive for unity no longer ex.

New York Sun: On Wednesday
President Cleveland made seven ap
pointments to office, some of them OF
much importance ; and, 80 far as the
puolic have yet been made aware
every man of the seven WAS perfectly
qualIhed for the duties tt which BIZ
was assigned. But the signal fac
about these saven men IL that every
one of them is q Democrat, holding
the principles and cherishing the
homes which make Democracy the
Vital force Of this republic. There II
I not a single Cousolidationist, Federal
ist or so.calied Independent Republi
can In the whole lot. Mr.. Cleveland
aud his advisors appear to have se lect, {
them without taking much counsel
from the great mass OF politicians be
longing 10 the respective states; but O
their political soundness and ortho
doxl there Ia no question. We com
mend this circumstance TO the consid
Grafton OF Dem ocrats everywhere.
