posed TO Eustis; but q perusal
OF his statement will show that
he bases his Indictment Of the
new Administration upon much broader
grounds. He says bluntly that Cleveland
''lrom Democratic standpoint has been
q conspicuous and humillatlng failure.
Whatever else may be said OF this Ian
guage, it is certainly plain and unequi'
vocal. There is no M stalking its mean
ing "His HisAdministration, "gEustis con-

blunders, and his friends and supporters
in Louisiana and throughout the Union
have Just cause for complaint This
cause for complaint is revealed further
on, when Mr.. Eustis deplores the fact
that "a horde of inscriptions ignorant.
dyed- -in-the-wool, and Extensively part
isan Radical leaders are permitted TO
remain In office all over the country
under Democratic rule Eustls further
declares that Cleveland Is totally lack
ing in information respecting the con-
dition of affairs in the South and West,
and is relying entirely on the fevcrish
advice Of couple OF mugwump news
papers in New York City, who are just
as ignorant as he is regarding these
important sections"
The fact is plain that the class OF
Democrats represented by Senator Eu-
stis-the old-school, rock-rooted, and
mountain buttressed Democrats
becoming disguised with Cleveland's S
mugwump methods. They do not un-
derstand that he was elected for the
purpose of keeping Republicans in Of
flee. They demand that the patronage
at his disposal shall be parceled out
without further delay among the party
workers. They have waited two
months, and that is long enough-much
longer than they expected to wait A
, Democratic oiliceseeker in Washington
put the case the other day as follows:
''After long and bitter war of twenty
four years the Democrats won glori-
, GUS victory, and yet the enemy are liv-
: ing on our rations." This is what Sem
| ator Eustis objects to, and there is no
doubt that he voices the sentiments OF
l the politicians of his party.
/ Just now the mugwumps are jubilant
, over the influence they are exertng
, with the Administration, though they
: have had some causes for complaint.
Y But their time Of trial will come. The
t outspoken denunciation of Cleveland
t which Mr.. Eustis has made is the fore.
t runner Of an avalanche of abuse which
: will burst forth as soon as the party
: chiefs shall become satisfied that the
Y spols system is to be abandoned Mr.
S Cleveland has not yet felt the pressure
Q which the politicians are able TO bring

publican Senate which took no specia

v will exact the dismissal Of the mug

" Senator Eustis' criticisms on the Ad
