Tie above sounds at first blush
like righteous indignation, but ii
you viii take the trouble to read it
again you win see TIA. it is the
ycriost humbug. Mr. Cleveland
profcsso5 10 bc vety indignant, that
p processing democrat should en-
doIse q man unfit for position,
yet, NJ. Cleveland has done that
very thing himself,
lie claims 10 be n democrat, yet
hc appointed Fir. Kornochan Naval
officer Of the Port Of New Orleans,
when he know that he had led OF
Independents movement. against
the regular nominee, thereby en-
doGsing himself. = man, unfit for &
! position under & democratic ad,
ninistra!ion.
Aftorhis eyes had been thorough
y informed as to the situation ir
Louisiana, after he had througl
his friends appealed to the Ring
Tor support at Chicago, after he
had obtained that support, altc.
the great apostle of reform, Gibso,
had been shown to have been no
an original Cleveland man, he still
ignored the mon who had hclpe(
him, and took Gibson as his chosen
counsellor, in matters pertaining
TO Louisiana.
IL The face of oil this he writes
or August 1st the letter giver
above, and from the security OF hii
high position insults q man VII;
has not done half rs bad as ho ha!
done himself. It had been an,
nounced, that Mr.. Cleveland place.
10 value on petitions, that he knew
how they were gotten up, that they
were worthless, and when q mai
on the strength of this assertion
signs q petition, TO get rid Of OF
importunatc applicant, he is turned
/ upon By Mr.. Cleveland and insult
Cd, for doing what he had author
! ity for believing, to be Of no in
/ iluencc.
This from the practical every
day man, Of strictly business, is rid.
icnious, and puerilc. Mr. Cleveland
is taking special trouble to Prov
r Senator Eustis 10 be right. Uowcve,
Mr.. Epstis' course may DO miscon
: strued, and it is misconatruod
/ every day-for his opposition t.
, the administration is assumed {,
, be on account of his inability Il
control Offices, whom il has bee,
: shown over and over again, tia
: llo could have controlled half O
r The. oiiices-his position is rcall,
, unassaiiable. Every day, tic arm.
{ ofthe dissatisfied is addingrecruita
{ and, it Will be 40 more than shoul,
; be expected, to find Mr.. CleyclanC
, brought to his senses, and tn
wreck Of the democratic party LAT,
where it belongs. at tie door of Mr
CleYeiand ; for under the prescn
course the wreck is almost certain
TO take place, and there seems n,
respect OF a change.
