A TO SOIdIera.

THE REPUBLICAN is not disposed to
complain Of the appointment to Office Of
ex-confederato soldiers. 1t was to be
expected that Democratic administra-
tion would recognize that strong element
of tho party. Tho people Of the north
looked for such recognition. and did not
expect to find cause of oifense therein.
The war was over n good many years
ago. It is time for its wounds to be
healed. Neither this journal nor the
party whose principles and policies it
advocates cherishes any animosity toward
the men who fought with Lee and Jack
son and their associate commanders.
But the north did not look for and can
not approve such decided and notorious
partiality for ex-confederates as the ad-
ministration has shown. 1t was believed
that Democratic ex-soldiers of the Union
would have an equal chance with the ex-
confederates; that tho "Yanks" and
"Johnnies' would be sandwiched in, as it
were, making an acceptable combination.
This has not been done. The Union SOL
diers have been decidedly Disseminated
against.
The Philadelphia Press prints list OF
the chief appointments which shows one
Union soldier to eight ex-confederates
and says of it that
glance only is necessary to show the dis.
parity in the honors which have been con.
| ierrod upon those who wore the gray over
those who wore the blue, This result cannot
be ascribcd to n lack of worthy Democrats who
served in the Union army. for there ar, mum.
bers of them scattered throughout the north
who would adorn positions in civil life. 1t Is
necessary only to recall such men rs Gen. Geo.
| B. Mcclellan, Gen. Heury b. Slocum, and
Gen. william 5, Rosecrans, all OF whom have
been urged unsuccessfully for office, to show
how the loyal soldiers have been ignored.
OF the soldiers who rose to distinction in the
Union army not one has been thought worthy
OF office by this Democratic administration
Two brave men have received appointments
one to Cabinet portfolio, the other to de
partment position. Besides these there have
been appointed probably few Union soldiers
but they are SO unknown, and the Offices they
were given are so obscure that they have es
capped general notice. on the other hand, tn
administration has been lavish with its honor
toward confederate generals, colonies, anC
captains and a host of local offices not men
toned in the list have been given to ex-rebe
soldiers in the south.
Mr.. Secretary Manning says there ar,
Democratic soldiers who ought to hav
places now held by Republican soldiers
That there are Democratic soldier
worthy of appointment is not questioned
That such soldiers will get fair trestmen
under this administration is conclusion
not warranted by appointments alread.

The New York journal, Stats Zeftung, has
spoken after our own heart We will only
add that even consideration Tor the ''spoils
politicians can only partially explain the
serious blunders of Mr.. Bayard. Tho motives
for many Objectionable appointments in the
public service are absolutely untathomable.
There are many things that we desire
to say yet In regard to these appointments
which we will speak of hereafter. ON the
whole these appointments are no progress, but
rather retrogreSsive, and have served as bitter
disappontments to the friends Of the Cleveland
administration and the Secretary of State him,
