THE FUTURE CABINET.
Democratic Sentiments Uttered by

that General Mcclellan is pushing his
claims for the secretaryship of the Navy.
1t is argued his war record would en-
barrass him with the old army officers.
He ran for President twenty years ago
upon the platform that he war was a
failure and could not be comfortable at
the head of the War Department. he
is a great defensive engineer. He wants
TO see our coasts defended properly.
He desires to see our naval squadrons
the best equipped and most powerful in
the world. He is ambitious and deserv-
ingly so. General Hancock has endorsed
him for the Naval post and we trust he
will get it. He is staunch Democrat.
His congratulatory telegram to Cleve-
land, Immediately after his election IS
significant. We quote it, though your
readers have seen it before: The leader
of the forlorn hope of twenty years ago
congratulates the victor OF to-day"
Bayard in the Senate would do us
more real good than in the Cabinet, yet
to the superior judgment OF Mi. Cleve-
| land we bow submissively.. SO 1t IS
quite sure Garland is on the slate for the
post of encouragement. We are glad
of it. He is deserving man. Let us
have one more Southerner in for the

| Some days ago we read an editorial In
the Kansas City Journal, Republican
sheet, upbraiding Democracy for cele-
! brating the 8th of January. The editor
of that paper argued that it was day

! United States, to rejoice, as it was COM
memorative of great victory won by
renowned soldier and patriot. So far so
good. but he continued to throw mud at
us with a hearty good will General
Jackson was a Democrat as well, that
the Journal failed to note. So we cele-
brated the day for dual reason, for the
victory gained over foreign foe and on
account of the qualities of the man who
was instrumentalin gainingit. A soldier,
statesman, Democrat. Such was
Jackson. Democrats honor him, second
to Jefferson, as one of the founders OF
our party and as one of the most thor
ough and original of patriots. Still the
press of the enemy Willy us and we need

The truth of Blaine's present residence
at Washington. is not so much to gain
material for that book, he is writing so
as to poison the minds of Congressman
and Senators. He is an evil minded,
cunning strategist and all true men will
shun him as they would rattlesnake.
Logan addressed him as 'Burchard"
the other day, of course in jest, but it
was a name not enormously spoken. for
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" W;

that eventful night to which Blaine at
tributes his defeat. We pity Burchard
for being made such tool, but he was
evidently acting under orders and did
his best
The cold water champion of Kansas
bids fair to be shown up pretty nicely
if we can at all judge from the ''Legate-
Letter" now in print and which is Gus
very conclusive, if true. Nowadays
men write very libelous letters with of
course damnable designs and it must be
probed sufficiently deep before st. John
stands convicted for bride taking. Now
all is over. No good can or will result
from the evident desire of many to still
defame the candidates of 1884. Now
there is dear Belya ;she is perfectly recon-
ciled. So Is old Ben Butler and so is St.
John, according to his own saying after
defeat, when he,declared his determine
ton to mould cold water bombs for use
in 1888, when no one if he be not

can be the laurel crowned victor. Of
all the defeated candidates Blaine is the

Scout" in q recent issue of THE HERALD
gave a short biography of this latter
parsonage, so we forbear further than
the mention of his name. Among the
probabilities ndpossibilitie of thenext
four years let us conjure that there may
be something enacted in the Hub of q
matrimonial character for political pur-
poses which may be rather startling"
That is, would it not be happy match,
loveable pair, both of the same tenn
permanent, both of the same aspirations
/ (both were once seeking the same post),
for old Ben Butler and BelYa A. to join
hearts and hands and unite their
strength for 1885, In advance we beg
Belva's pardon as she may become Of

designed to capture her, but it would

and time OF progress nothing, not even
"a million cash, could unnerve us.
From recent private advices we learn
that the business depression continues.
In many of the Southern States not a
few of the pioneer merchants are on the
verge of bankruptcy. We have feared
these stringent times but hope the pre-
sentseni-panticwi will be passed over with
ovt any serious combinations. The
business outlook ahead is bright. the in
coming administration viii give the
country guarantee of stability and the

factories now dormant will resume their
