Springfield globe-republic. (Springfield, Ohio) 1884-1887, 1885-03-08
All, THERE. MIR. PRESIDENT

For the first time in this last quarter of
a century gentle, though wintry Sunday
morning dawns under Democratic ad-
ministration, especially here tn the United
States The gentleman who wakes this
morning yawns and rolls over for another
nap, realizing it is Sunday, in the white
washed building at Washington d. C. is a
Democrat, and he is, also, probably glad Of
it, today. His real name is Stephen Grover
Cleveland, formerly of Albany, n. Y. He
listens to the quiet Sabbath bells this
morning with realizing sense that, being
a stranger in Washington and Democrat
he will not be expected to attend church.
1t is hoped that he may also be excused
from looking after the post masters of this
great nation for a space of time extend
ing up to the afternoon luncheon at
least He has spoken his piece well;
he has been sworn in. and he
also has cabinet. 1t was hoped that the
old fashion Of wearing a cabinet would 60
out after Carl Schurz and other gentlemen
had done with it, but it seems that we are
to go right along under the old arrange
ment, as if nothing OF this kind had hap
pened So we must make some mention
Of the cabinet
There is Thomas F. Bayard, he will
keep the minutes of the cabinet meetings,
because heis Secretary of State, and he will
have a warm place next to the President
when the whole combination of talent as
sembles to talk about things in general
He is right from Delaware state where he
was born, because a man must be born
some where if he ever hopes to amount to
anything in cabinet.
Augustus H. Garland, having never
graduated in any law school, is deemed
to have sufficient practical run of the
"old thing" to direct the cab
met clear of all legal snags.
He will also adjust the legal
steel-yards SO that even-tempered Justice
may not butt her precious brains out
against the beam every time, in other
words he is the attorney-general. He was
born in Tennessee, but that was not his
fault, SO he early migrated to Arkansas,
where was better appreciated.
Next comes Lucius Q. C. Lamar, OF
Mississippi. We don't pretend to know
what the Q c. stand for, unless it be the
Quit that the gentleman represents
as held by the section from which he
comes. Anyway the quit-claim has been
recognized, and the gentleman will wrestle
with the noble savage outside our Dor.
ders' (as Pres. Cleveland says for he is
Secretary OF the Interior. If his chin
whiskers were taken off he would resemble
John A. Logan, in some trifing respects
of physical nature only. He went with
his State into secession, but he is sorry for
it, sufficiently SO, at least, to come back
and draw his salary regularly as Senator.
Daniel Manning is from New York and
was born right in Albany; beside this he is
a married man, and was member OF Boss
Tweed's Cabinet in New York He has
charge of the money bags, IS secretary Of
the treasury, and will see that the $40O,.
600, 600 in the reserve fund will be distrib-
uted to Mr.. Hendricks constituency,
according to promise, at the rate Of $3.50
per head.
William c. Whitney is from New York,
but is the son-in-law of Henry c. Payne,
who is from Ohio. This was deemed suffi.
cient recognition of John R. Mclean, and
in view Of the possible contingency, seems
to be satisfactory to Ohio. He (Whi,ney)
will go down to the beach some day this
spring and haul the U. S. navy up on the
sand, and go off where he can best amuse
himself, because he is Secretary Of the U.
S. navy. 1--WE use U. S. advissbly because
it thunders in the index, so to speak, and
we desire to have some strength in the
navy.
William C. Endicott is from Massa-
chusetts, and is Secretary of War. He
will call the U. S. army up to his room
this morning and tell him to be good
boy because it is Suuday-that's all now
60 out and muster, my son.
William F. Villas the postmaster general
is from Wisconsin, though he was not
born there having escaped from Vermont
at the age of eleven years New post
offices, named Villas, will begin to crop
forth with the dandelions this spring In
this respect he is expected to stand a peer
with Mr.. Hatton, his predecessor, and
Villas will do it, though there is good
record in this respect right ahead OF Mr.
Villas.
These gentlemen are all Democrats and
have been chosen apparently on that &C
count, Most everything seems to be OF a
Democratic tendency this year, and it de-
pends largely upon the public acts of the
above gentlemen as to the length of time
that this new hue shall pervade the polit-
ical aspect.
IN THE INTEREST OF HARMONY
