Gratis have insisted that the party was
being betrayed practically by the want
Of activity by the president and cabinet
while tho Republicans, and oven mug
wumps, have complained OF the prefer.
mont OF southern mon and ox.Con-
federates. There was basis for many
Of those criticisms on the part OF tho
Democrats who saw Republican par.
tisans retained In power, and while good
Democrats waited obsequiously, and
with hat In hand In the vestibule, II was
observed that Objectionable Republic
cans continued 70 ofiiuiate At the altar.
The party naturally grow inpatient,
and the result was goodly crop OF
rather biting Democratic criticisms.
Within the few days just passed, how
ever, the administration appears TO be re.
deoming itselfin Democratic eyes and
is "cutting and slashing" considerably,
especially In the postofiice department..
1t Is more than probable that the next
thirty days will witness most extern

Leading Democrats seem now to be TAX
ing this view OF the matter.
While the south may differ with Mr..
SAMUEL J. RANDALL on the one subject
Of the tariff, 1t il In accord with him ON
all other matters affecting the welfare
Of the Democratic party, and will always
listen to his utterances from party
standpoint with close attention and
respect. Mr.. NoRDHoFP, Of the New
York Herald, interviewed him recently
with reference to the administrations
policy. and the distinguished ex
speaker has these things, among others,
TO say: "The more l see him and the
better get to know him the more /
perceive the sturdy honesty Of his
mind, the single.hearted conscientious
ness with which he acts. Some of our
men say he moves too slowly. That is
true, but he has an immense work and
upon him. or all reforms,
reform Is the most diff
cult. To ascertain where in the I'M
mense government establishment bad
prevail and incompetent or I'M
fit persons are employed, and to i'm
prove the methods and substitute faith
full and competent men to do the work,
is huge task, for which even single
term is scarcely adequate.

months and half since the Ath Of
March Is necessarily only the beginning.

Such public nttarances froni a sllrewd

Of the Democratic house Of Representa-
tites, mean more than mere inter

They mean also that, 80 far

national house and Nh. CLEVELAND, but
that MR. RAEDALL win rally the Oem-
ocratic cohorts systematically TO the

icy, now receiving from certain qnar-
ters degree OF criticism, that II IT nc
nothing elise, must be I'M

House. Mr.. RANDALL's views, though |
those OF defeated presidential candi-
date and an asplrant in the future, are
in striking contrast to those of many
lesser lights seeking to control patron
age. This RANDALL interview is just
at this time bonanza for the admins
tration.
