Cleveland and His par+z,

A Democrat of prominence yesterday re-
marked that he thought Cleveland's course
80 far would commend itself to the sensible
men OF his party. Very likely. But unless
things have changed very much the "sensi-
ble men" of the Democratic party constitute
very small minority. The s'sensible
men" of the Democratic party opposed coali-
tion with the Greenbackers in this State but
they were overruled by an immense major
ity; the Sensible men" opposed the attempt
to steal the State when Garcelon was COVER
nor but their voices were drowned by the
chorus of the multitude; the sensible men
OF the party cinng 10 its hard money tradi-
tons but they made sorry showing when
drawn up along side of the men who were
for any system of fnance that promised
votes. To say therefore that Cleyeland,s
course will commend itself to the Sensible
men" of the party is far from saying that II
will commend itself 10 the party. Nine
tenths of the party are hungry and thirsty,
desirous of being filled and that forthwith.
Cleveland's slowness in cleaning out the
Offices is having a very depressing effect up
on them. Hope, however, still survives
in the Democratic breast and there is yet
feeling among them that eventually they
will be taken in and their toes warmed.
When this feeling entirely disappears they
will proceed to warm their toes by vigorous
ly kicking the administration. Anybody who
thinks the Democratic party has been con-
verted by President Cleveland to civil SER
vice reform will not have to wait great
while to be convinced of his mistake.

Gov. Albeit of New Jersey is getting some
heavy doses Of bis own medicine, and he
doesn't like it. 1t will be recollected that
when be was nominated he distinctly told
the Democrats that he proposed to make a
clean sweep of the Republicans and put his
supporters into the Offices. The public was
Informed out of his own mouth that if elect
ed he proposed to reward his friends and
punish his enemies. Both he and the con-
vention which nominated him declared it to
be their belief that civil service reform was
humbug. Albeit was elected Governor,
and with great promptitude set to work re-
deeming his pledges. Republicans were
pitched out Of Office Without the slightest
ceremony to make room for his supporters.
The good of the public service passed for
nothing in his estimation. 1t was enough
for him to know that the man who hello the
Office was Republican, and that hungry
Democrat stood ready to accept it, to make
. vacancy forthwith. The Superintendent
of Education, who had held bis Office for
Nineteen years, and whose labors on behalf
of the public school sys en of the State had
been conspicuous, AID whom half dozen
Democratic Governors had never thought OF
was ejeced from Office simply be-
cause he was a Republican. The cleanest

kind of sweep was in progress when the
Legislature met.
The Legislature is strongly Republican.
In the Assembly the Republican majority is
sufficient 10 pass any measure it sees fit over
the Governors veto. On the principle that
the devil can only be fought with FIRE the
Legislature is now attempting to enact into
laws several measures which will deprive
the Governor of considerable of his appoint
ing power. The Assembly has passed these
measures over the Governors veto, but their
fate in the Senate is somewhat uncertain.
Under ordinary circumstances they would
not be justiiable, but au emergency has
arisen in which arbitrary measures are nee.
essary to keep the Offices ut of the nands CT
an unscrupuleus demagogue, who regards
them not as public trust to be administered
for the benefit of the whole people, but sim.
ply as means of paying off his henchmen,
many of them incompetent or disreputable,
for their services in his behalf.

temper and purpose at the time is afforded
by conference between himself and Sena-
tor Wade of Ohio.
Mr.. Wade was widely known as among
the radical and progressive members OF the
Republican party. His immediate constit1-
ents of the Western Reserve were a just and
God-fearing people, amply endowed with
both moral and physical courage, but they
were not men of blood, and they we're not in
sympathy with the apparent purposes of the
President. 1t is not improbable that Mr..
Wade's views were somewhat in advance OF
those held by the majority of the people he
represented, but he was evidently not in ac-
cord with the threatenings and slaughter
breathed out by the President.
swell, Mr.. Wade, what would you do
were you i'll my place and charged with my
resnnnsibiiities? inquired the President.
II think" replied the frank aud honest
old Senator from Ohio, 81 should either
force into exile or hang about ten or twelve

| way of full measure, | should make it. thir-
| teen, just bakers Dozen"
''But how" rejoned the President, 'sare

show them 10 be guiltier Than The restY'
| at won't do to hang a very large number,
| rejoined Wade, 'and think il you would

Toombs. Benjamin, Slide, Mason and
| Howell Cobb. If We did no more than drive
these half dozen out of the country we
should accomplish good deal"
| The interview was long, and at its close
| Mr. johnson expressed surprise that Wade
| was willing to let ''ihe traitors as he al
ways styled them, escape so easily" He
said that he had expected the heartiest sup
port from Wade in policy which, as he out
| lined it to the Senator, seemed in thorough
ness TO rival inat of Stratford. Mr. Wade
left the executive mansion divided between
his admiration for the stern resolve AID high
| courage of *the President on the one hand.
and his fear on the other that policy SO de-
termined and aggressive as Mr. johnson
| seemed bent on pursuing might wo k re-
ac'i ion in the North, and that thus in the
end less might be done in providing proper
safeguards against another rebellion than il

The annual report of the Postmaster Gen
eral recommended three important changes
In postal rates. These changes will go into
effect the first Of next July. The postage on
letters after that date will be two cents an
ounce instead of two cents half-ounce as
Mt present. The postage On newspapers
sent to regular subscribers and on sample
copies sept out by publishers will be reduced
one-half' All cities or towns having popu-
lation OF more than 600 will be authorized
to establish special ten-cent stamp delivery
by which letters can be sent 10 their destina
tion Immediately after being received at the

cannot be deuied. The last one is an ex

The charge was repeatedly made by the
Democrats during the last campaign that
the Republicans had committed the unpar-
donable crime of creating an enormous
number Of offices. Recent events, however,
have caused the minority to change their
minds as to the degree of criminalty, while
the majority have so far altered their
opinions as to wish that the number had
been made still greater.
