uted startles the people. Federal
offices, during the reign of the Repub-
IIcan party, became the absolute prop
erty OF congressman. In the olden
time, u few OF these good men were
caught selling scholarships at West
Point; but now they conduct an open
traffic In profitable places. The very
rich, until Cleveland came, mo-
nopolized positions that con-
ferred social distinction in the
old world, and since negroes and car.
pet-baggers were incapable and un.
worthy, even in Republican eyes, no
"copsulatea" or federal representative
positions abroad were assigned, under
Rembllcan sway, the whites being
Democrats, TO SoutherneTs. Here and
there Southern Irishman, pretend
ing 10 be a Republican, was sent "a
consul 10 Scotland or Ireland or Eng
land, but the fact Is, as stated, that the
South, until Cleveland came, was rep.
resented by Northern men at the
courts and commercial centers OF all
the nations.
A full share, therefore, Of these
PLACES has been assigned by President
Cleveland 10 Southern party leaders
and how these federal concessions
have been parceled out becomes
curbus study.
