"THE Republican rascal" who was the
collector of the port at Georgetown, D.
c., was turned out last week by our re-
form President, and man named Crop
ley appointed. 1t is said that the only
qualification the new appointee is known
to possess to recommend him to the Ad
ministration is that at dinner just after
the close of the war, he offered toast
to the memory of Wilkes Booth, as
"The man who pulled the trigger,
Which killed the man who freed the
niger"
There's nothing ''offensively partisan
in that sort of a speech, according to
the gospel of the reform Democracy.

BELMONT.

We, of Belmont, believe it is admitted
by the "sun kissed" city, that we are nine
miles east of Barnesville, without the
privilege of having the honor of being
mentioned in their papers of having an
existence as a town. Every incident Of
note takes place so many miles in some
direction from the "sun kissed" city
Perhaps IT is the immediate locality
where the "rich man lifted up his eyes
dnu saw Lazarus aTar OF in Abraham's
BOSOM" that causes every other place, in
their estimation, to be nameless; if such
be the case, they do honor to the place.
We would like to inquire whether they
yet can see good old Abraham's bosom.
Candidates have been calling on us,
just nine miles east of GAINESVILLE. Mr..
Andrew Hammond, candidate for county
treasurer, gave us call, last week.
Business is very dull. Democrats, if
we can judge from their looks, would
willingly vote the Republican ticket to
bring back the by gone days of prosper
ity. They say, by way of excuse, it is
caused by over production. Well, we
think so too, but it is an over production
of loss of confidence In the Democratic
party. REFORM.

THE Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Enqairer of Saturday, makes
an attack on the National Democratic
Administration, for ignoring the leaders
of the Democratic party. and among
other things says: "Discontent among
Democrats is on the increase. 1t is ap-
parent in the speech of every public man
that one meets. Go where you will, talk
with whom you will, and everywhere
discomfort is perceivable. The fact is
patent to all that Grover Cleveland, be
be whatever he may in the contest be-
tween high tariff and free trade, in his
own affairs is most aggravated case of
monopoly"

Sixty Days of Democratic Rule.

In the business world sixty days, with
the customary three days of grace, give
Iong enough time to learn what kind o1
stuff a man is made of. Mr.. Cleveland
and Administration have had sixty day!
and three days of grace and little more
in which to make an impress upon the
country for good or i'll. The first fruit;
are ripe; but the country reaching up tC
pluck the luscious product that was
promised finds in its grasp only Dead
Sea apples. The great journals of New
England that Numbered for Mr.. Cleve-
land last fall are whispering small vol
umes of anathemas over the Chases, the
Pillsburys, the Troups and the Higginses
The Democratic organs everywhere are
putting in qneries about postoffices and
collectorships. In the boundless West
and downtrodden South only one theme
absorbs their attention-Lhe distribution
of the loaves and fishes. The statesmen
of the party are holding their hats at the
White House entrance for crumbs of
executive favor. The Vice President
creeps around the Departments at
Washington like needy suppliant.
The days and nights of the Admins
tration are given over to the distribu-
ton of offices, TO the reward of men for
party service, to the manipulation of
the public patronage so that the party
may retain power. Bossism is restored
in all the States. The cloak Of Civil
Service Reform is pinned up on the
White House gate, but through the gapl
ing rents in it may be seen trusty public
servants discharged as alleged offensive
partisans," while the Democratic peliti-
cal hacks and mountebanks who replace
them are bedecked as reforming saints.
a blundering politician from the whip
ping-post State heads the Cabinet A
machine politician leads and manipu>
lates it. Ex-Confederates unpardoned
and unrepentant rebels, and virulent
Copperheads are selected for important
foreign missions.
These are the impressions caused by
the first sixty days of Democratic rule.
The policies of government that new
Administration might be expected to
enter upon and advocate are still in the
dim distant future. The impress of the
President on the country is wholly, and
solely connected with the dispensation
of the spoils of political victory. An in
quiry as to the principles or policies or
public views of the President of his
Administration meets with blank re-
sponse. There are no principles, no pol
icies, no public views-oDly spoils. The
The office of President is degraded be-
yond comparison, the public business is
weakly administered, and is falling
away from the great principles which
were followed under Republican rule
with honor, ability and integrity. The
spectacle is not pleasant. But when the
people fully understand whittier the
country is drifting, they can be trusted
TO apply the remedy.-N. Y. Tribune.
