a Storm Brewing.

There is evidently heavy storm brew
ing against the administration in the ranks
OF the democracy, Senator Eustis of
Louisiana has declared in unmistakable
language his dissatisfaction and his pur-
pose to be counted rs an enemy of Ceve-
land. Following closely upon the steps
of this democratic Senator comes the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, with open complaints
about the slowness of the President and
the manner in which he defers to the
wishes OF the mugwumps. In a letter
from its Washington correspondent that
paper SAYS;
Ii there is any settled policy of the admin
istrstion save procrastination, il is not
visible to the naked eve or comprehended by
finite mind. Democrats justly wonder what
the President means. Ii the 'rascals are
not to be turned out" the inference can only
be that there are none in, and that the cry
raised by the democrats of the land in this
respect was false. Meanwhile, Mr.. Cleve-
land, in his high estate. seemingly ignores
the claims of those VINO elected him to office,
and seeks rather the appreciation of the eff

In New England the party is rent over
the nominations of Pillsbury, Chase and

and worse difficulty. especially if he makes
any more appointment is like that of Pills

At this season of the year when so many
