The Way II Looks.

Aberdeen Examiner
A prominent Republican discuss
ing the political issues of the day be-
fore an Iowa audience, used this
expression: "A president should be
above party-in other words a presi-
dent should ignore party and be in
all things of the people and the rep
resentative OF their needs" We
Democrats probably held similar
views during the twenty-four years
of Republican rule, but if we are to
have political millennium there is no
need for its Inauguration {under
Democratic aupices.
Let the matter be postponed until
aDemocrat is snugly ensconced in
every Federal Office, and then the
political buSles may sing truce with
reasonable assurance of tumultuous
applause and hearty encores from our
side of the house.
They may be a little slow in start
ing, but nothing is more certain than
that the Republican army OF Office
holders will strike tents and march to
the rear.
There is good logic in the above
paragraph. An officer is the servant
of the people while in office, but the
party IN power should favor their
friends or political allies provided it
can be done without injury to the
public. When in position the officer
is the servant of the public, and we
contend in no case, has he the right
to use his Office to further the inter-
est OF q political party, though that
has been the programme of the Re-
publican party for many years, and
that is the cause of the declaration of
Dir. Cleveland, that no officer who
used his Office in the interest of the
Republican party would be retained
In Office. This of course came near
making clean sweep.
