The Administration Criticised
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July Princes and pres
idents rarely hear the truth. Nearly every
body that comes near them feels that frank
utterances would not be very palatable. If
a congressman would speak frankly TO Mr..
Cleveland and tell him the senti-
ments of the Democratic masses on the
subject ofkeeping Republicans in Office, the
president would not be very apt TO say TO
the congressman: 81 know You must be
my friend or you would not speak to me so
frankly of your disagreements with me-"
Presidents like best the public men who, in
the language of the "gude book" propheSy
smooth things. 1t may happen in this way
that the first inkling the president will
get of his error will be when the fall elec-
tiOnS shall have been held and resulted in
the loss of Democratic states, besides other
states, that could easily be won to the Dem
ocratic fold by a vigorous
JACKsoNIAN POLICY.
The following is a mild comment of a
distinguished congressman on the
offensive partisan idea of the
president, said he: ''There is
not man in an important or lucrative Office
in the South who has not been put in Office
because it was known that he was and
would continue to be the willing instrument
in carrying out the most offensive paTti-
Zanship that was ever practiced by polit-
ical party in the United States. How can
such men, by a course of half-hearted
service TO the party that chose them for
these purposes. cOndone the wrong and pub
lie evil TO which they owe their appoint
ment?" On the subject of calling upon
senators to make charges as a basis of re-
moval, he said the following, which might
perhaps
STRIKE THE PRESIDENT
as worthy of consideration: ''If senators
who are 10 vote upon questions of removal
and appointment are also expected TO fOrmu-
late charges and specifications against the
persons TO be removed. or if they indulge in
such new adventures, they are likely TO in
volve themselves in unseemly controversies.
A senator should not be required or expected
TO become the accuser and prosecutor of
an officer to be removed. Such a course
would necessarily involve him i'm personal
issues with the individual assailed, and the
question in many cases would be whether
the senator or the person TO be removed was
to be sustained as to the question of fact
presented in the case. This is not so well
caculated to promote
THE PUBLIC GOOD
as it is to encourage and foster personal
controversies and to draw the senator into
a apersonal vindication of conduct instead of
an impartial consideration of duty TO the
public" The most remarkable utteranceS
yet ascribed to the president leaked out
through the Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald. A congressman
had called upon the president.
THAT man you've Just appOintsd."
he said, sis a good Democrat and has been
a faithful worker in the party" ''An
right" said Mr.. Cleveland, Il have rea-
son to hope that he will be capable and
honest man in the place, but as you're his
friend you'd better warm him that if
catch him misusing that place in any way
for a particular purpose, I'll flip him out as
quick as lightning. Just as quickly as I'll
flip Republican for doing that"
