The recent appointment of Mr..
II. Buck, as Postmaster at New Oh
leans, upon the recommendation 0
Senator Gibson and Congressman Gay
Irion, King and Blanchard, leaves n,
further doubt that President Cleve
land has irrevocably determined t.
lend his assistance to this group o.
the so-called "Reform Democracy" il
the warfare they have been waging
since the Presidential election, against
the regular Democracy and the State
administration. Indeed, no appoint
ment has been made by the President
that did not have the endorsement OF
the Gibson group.
The President was made aware oi
the fact that the movements of the so.
called Reform Democracy had endan-
gered the election of his electors 10
this State, by their revival on the
stump of quarrcls that had no place in
the National canvass by their attempt
to have the names of 1000 registered
voters stricken from the rolls in New
Orleans, and by their friendly relations
with the leaders of the Republican
party, evidenced by Marshal Pitkln's
recent statement that he had received
letter from Mr.. Hunt expressing his
appreciation of his (Pitkin's) conduct
during the last canvass. He was also
informed of other facts proving that
the Regular Democracy had borne the
brunt of the campaign.
This was of no avail. The Presi-
dent led off with tho appointment of
Mr.. Kernochan, the organizer of the
Hunt independent movement in the
First Congressional District, 1t was
quickly followed by the appointment
of O'Brien as inspector of steam YES
sells, whose political claims were based
upon the services he had rendered in
the Kernochan- Hunt movement. Since
then, with but few exceptions, men
seem to have been selected on account
of their known hostility to the State
administration and the Regular Demo
cratic organization.
