The course Of President Cleveland will |
have a depressing effect on many aspir-
ants for office. There are innumerable
men who have watched the course of
things for the last twenty years, who have
qsn the lavishness Of expenditures, the
existence OF jobs, the opportunities af-
riei by official place for making money
md exercising political influence, and
IaTe longed for a change in order that
hey might participate in all these priv
lees, Now it is becoming evident that
place under this administration does
Hmean sinecure, an opportunity for
ena0ning political favorites, nor a life
Ease, good pay and local influence. 1t is
lTHng on the Office-seeking element
da place means work, and nothing
@ ltdOes not mean an opportunity
getting rid OF time, nor, in all prob
liity, position which will give each
nplOye a vacation for few weeks each
aar, with expenses paid, to go home and
sslst IN carving the local elections in
lTN Of the dominant party. The mean
lg OF Mr. Cleveland appears to be, so |
Z as the present indications may be |
lied on, that he does not intend
f-l the departments with cler-
al poltlcal partners, but with en-
gE whose sole business will be to at
ldntheir duties and afford a fair re-
niU Their salaries. These facts will
ne the effect to discourage many office
eieB who are under the impression
at their services for the party have
ven them right to the interest in the |
llagement OF the government, and |
10 are desirous to get Office as partners
