Claimants Not Passed Over.

Democratic partisans are making a
hue and cry about new policy in ap-
pointments to Office. They assert that
the President is passing over the Office
seeking class who assume to have pollt-
ical claims" upon patronage, and is
nominating those who have special fit
ness for the public service. 1t is a dis
tinction without a difference. There
seems to be an "old claimant" in every
case, albiet he does not secure the nom
ination himself, but bags it for friend
or political ally. Mr.. Manning and Mr..
Fairchild were hostages to Greystone.
There was Higgins nominated at the
personal request of Senator German.
Then Mr.. Hay was charged to the run
ning account of Mr.. Randall. The U. S.
District Attorney for Rhode Island was
named by Mr.. Barnaby, a member of the
Democratic National Committee from
that State, whose zeal in the Presiden-
tial campaign entitled him to special
recognition. So the game goes.
The claimant appears to be the veteran
politician. who strongly advises an ap
pointment of one of his henchmen or
associates, and the Office is allotted ap-
pareDtIy in recognition of his poitica,
services or standing. In the case of the
Commissioner of Patents two rival POI
litical managers from Michigan, each of
whom had a candidate of his own, were
invited to unite upon somebody who
would satisfy both. Under penalty of
the nomination passing to some other
State, they selected a third man. The
result was that good criminal lawyer.
who knew little if anything about patent
law, was appointed Commissioner of
Patents on the score of special fitness for
the position. The two old claimants,
who conspired in his favor, have been
remuuerated share and share alike. Mr..
Cleveland is making some good nominai
tions and deserves credit for them; but
he ought not to be suspected of an un+
willingness to oblige anybody except the
star-eyed Goddess of Reform.-N. Y.

In downright littleness of spirit. the
Ohio Legislature has no equal among all
the law making bodies of tte Union.
There are of course many liberal-minded,
geuerous-hearted men among the mem
bers of each party, but there seem to be
just enough mean spirited members to
destroy the good effect of nearly every
thing proper that is done, and TO leave
the taint of illness upon it. AS a re-
markable instance of this disgraceful
method of doing business, resolution
sympathizing with General Grant in his
probably fatal business had, before il
could be adopted in the House, to be
discussed and referred tc a committee
and withheld by them for two days, and
finally, when taken out of their hands
by the House, had to suffer denunciation
as piece of party buncombe! Such lit.
tleness is probably without parallel in
the history of party methods.-Columbus
Dispatch.

"Turn the Rascals Out"

The new administration has practical
ly admitted that the above cry of which
the Democrats made such vehe ment use
during the recent campaign was a miser.
able fraud and an imposition upon the
Democratic party. They yelled Turn
the rascals out" during the entire cam
paign, and assured the Democracy OF
the country that the government was
in the hands of gang of unscrupulous
thieves. Now how do their actions con.
form to their pretensions? They are
boasting that they are not turning "the
rascals out" and praising themselves for
having been slaBderOus liars. The New
York World exclaims with great flour
lsh of trumpets that during the first six
teen days of the Democratic administra-
ton it has made scarcely a score of
changes in the vast army of federal Of
ficeholders, over 100000 strong" Now,
If these officeholders are rascals they
ought to be turned out, and if they are
not rascals then nearly every Democratic
stump speaker and newspaper of the
country lied most outrageously during
the late Presidential campaign. We
hope the Democratic voters will exam
inc into this question little, and con-
clude whether they were not basely de-
ceived by their party leaders last fall.
While this administration has not
turned any rascals out" simply because
there were none in. it has turned several
rascals in who were out. Dan. Manning,
the pupil of Boss Tweed and the tool of
Samuel j. Tilden, has charge of the
Treasury, and under him is Higgins,
who is described by some of the reform
papers as "a gambler, lobbyist about
the Legislature, a defendant in suit to
recover debt of honor, a protector of
disreputable resorts, and a person who
has, without profession or continuous
employment, lived by his wits"
AS We frequently stated during the
campaign the cry simply meant turn the
honest Republicans out and put the Dem
ocratic rascals Cleveland Leader.

Ex-Governor CARROLL, of Maryland
has addressed tart letter to Senator
German on the Higgins affair. He
plainly tells German that no man in
Maryland understood the reputation of
Higgins better than he, German, did.
No one knows better than yourself, says
the indignant writer, that he fully and
most ably represents the type of politi-
clan that every utterance of Mr.. Cleve+
land, both before and since he became
President, pledged himself and the party
most earnestly to avoid Governor Car
roll goes on to accuse German of abus+
ing the confidence of the men in power.
and with having betrayed the adminis+
tration in the very outset of its career.
He says that he no longer has faith in
the sincerity or good intentions of the
Senator, for he has used bis high position
to degrade the party and discredit the
President with the public.

If the weather authorities had been doing as
well for this locality at the start of the
great worlds fair as they are doing now, what
rovaI send-off it would have now. The
pleasures of spring, amid flowers, velvet grasses
and trees in full foliage is still here-not to
mention early vegetables, which have been
here for some time-the gateway of the New
South still offers the inducement of the great
'show." The attractions of the last week have
been unusually full and complete. In addi-
tion to the state-day celebration, and the other
regular displays, there has been held in Music
Hall and elsewhere, q series of temperance
conventions and meetings, at which soul-stir-
ring addresses were made by such celebrated
and talented speakers as Miss Frances Willard,
of Chicago, Col. Geo. W. Balm, of Kentucky,
and ex-Gov John 2. st. John, of Kansas, and
many others. must say of Col. Balm that he
is one of the foremost orators on the temper
ance platform, and l regard him as equal, if not
superior, in force, in portrayal, in dramatic
power, to J. B. Cough, and this, l am aware, is
saying good deal. st. John is an orator of
high grade; has clear, ringing voice, and
clear head as well. These meetings we're held
under the auspices of the national temperance
society.
One could scarcely enumerate all the attrac-
tions and displays had here, if he would try
couldn't think of them ALL This is a great
place for display. Why, even the moon, day
before yesterday, undertook to get up daylight
display, in the shape of an snnular eclipse of the
sun. 1t only partially succeeded, however, in
its attempt to obscure that luminary. Crowds
around the corners stood gazing intently through
smoked glass at the display.
1t is not strange, that with all these attrac-
tions, the city should be filled, day by day with
multitude of strangers, drawn from the nations
of the world; or that these people from various
parts should go to their homes filled with the
wonders of climate, fruits and flowers, and the
colossal exhibition they have seen in New Or
leans. The wonder is that more don't come,
especially from the north. think that in spite
of the adverse criticisms that have been sent to,
and seems to have been popular with some in
the north, that those who stay away for these
reasons will finally find out they have stayed
away from good show. But let us look into

TENNESSEE DAY.

On the 14th instant the one hundred ant
seventeenth anniversary of the birthday of tht
illustrious Tennessean, Andrew jackson, was
made the occasion of the formal opening of the
Tennessee exhibit. A large delegation of the
Tennessee legislature and hundreds of citizens
of the state were in attendance. The guests o.
the occasion came up from the foot of Cana
street, in body on board a steamer, and re-
ceived a salute from the United States man-of-
war, Tennessee, lying in the river. On arriv.
ing at the wharf at exposition grounds, another
salute was fred, and the party proceeded to the
Tennessee exhibit in the government building
where the exercises were begun.
A brief prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Strick-
land, of Tenn. This was followed by a few
brief remarks from commissioner cWhirter,
welcoming the guests, which was followed by a
few remarks from several other speakers who
were introduced.
The audience was then requested to proceed
to the department of women's work of Tennes-
see, where some more speaking was had.
From this department the party proceeded to
the Tenn. exhibit of the colored department,
where an eloquent address was delivered by
Hon. S. A. McElwee.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies in the
various exhibits of Tenn in the government
building, the party proceeded to music hall,
where large audience was assembled. After
a few moments the Mexican band entered and
discoursed number of fine selections Prayer
was offered up, followed by an address by H. R.
Lucas, of Louisiana, and responded to by Hon.
NJ. T. Bryant, of Tenn.
Finally the Hon T. S. Todd, the orator of the
day, was introduced, who delivered an eloquent
address on the "The Life and Character of An
drew Jackson" after which followed remarks
by other Tennessee gentlemen. The addresses
throughout were listened to with marked atten-
ton.
l have given this outline of the exercises
that your readers may know about the way the
state days are celebrated. 1t may seem that
so much speech making would he very tedious.
'Tis true the whole thing. taken together, is
quite lengthy; yet, still there is so much vim
and spice thrown into it, and so much variety,
that one becomes interested and takes little note
of time, besides, after walking around. looking at
exhibits all forenoon, one rather desires to sit
and rest awhile, especially when, while doing SO,
good, brief, ringing speeches. interspersed with
excellent music, can be heard at the same time.
