WAsHrxeroS, D. O., June l5.-The DEM
ocratic party has held the reins Of power
for three months, and during that time IT
has demoralized the party organizationin in
nearly every State Of the Union. No one
act Of the President has had the effect to
build up and strengthen the organization
in any Of the States. Where offices for.
merly held by Republicans have been
given Democrats the number of persons
displeased with the new appointees far
exceeds those who are gralified by the
change. n
Where changes have not been made
the rank and file OF Democratic workers
are bitterly complaining OF the Presidents
indifference and neglect. The ayowal Of
Mr.. Cleveland that he intends to take
time to find the best men for office, and
his disregard OF therecommendations Of
party leaders in filling the places, gives
the Democratic managersg great annoyance.
Three important State elections Will be
held this fall-in Ohio, New York and
Virginia. The State and national elections
in Ohio last year, when the iull strength
OF both parties was developed at the polls,
showed the Republicans to havea decided
majority. To overcome that majority, is
the object OF tho Buckeye leaders, and to
do it they must not only present o united
front, but have all the substantial aid the
Federal Government can give. u, ~
Judge Foraker, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, was nominated on the
first ballot, with general uuanfmfty. The
Republican party is thoroughly welded
together. John Sherman is the accepted
candidate for reelection as United States
Senator, and II the vote! can be brought
out election day, there is hardly doubt
OF Republican success.
In New York the delay Of the President
in filling the Customs offices Is giving the
Democratic directors much uneasiness,
Possibly, however, in this case Mr.. Cleve-
land is second Solomon. The warfare
between Tammaay and the County De.
mocracy did not end with the triumph of
the latter in the nomination Of Cleveland
at the Chicago Convention. The Presf.
dent may be able to bring about some
thing like peace by choosing as Collector
identified with either organization, but IT
Is dfHfBHit 70 aHtstatda9 ttoH 4s Gdl w
anything that viii harmonize the factions
or reconcile party differences.
In Virginia the Presidents failure to
make prompt removals OF Federal Office
holders has caused much dissatisfaction,
and the result OF municipal elections re-
Gently held in the State shows that the
Republicans have not become disheart-
ened by their failure 10 elect Mr.. Blaine
last November.
The patronage Of the Government,
which the Democrats last Fall expected
would work them such political good,
turns ont to be curse rather than bless
| ing. Perhaps, in the hands OF MIR. Hem
dricks it might have been help. Atthe
disposal OF Mr.. Cleveland it is a fruitful
source OF disturbance and weakness. The
Administration is thoroughly Democratic,
the offices, save only those protected by
law, are being taken from Republican
hands, but in filling the places Mr.. Cleve:
land disregards personal party service and
the welfare OF active Democratic organiza-
ton in way that shocks alike the Bour-
bon bulldozer and the Northern copper
