the rem arks OF the New York World
upon the new Cabinet:
President Cleveland's Cabinet 10
now formally and officially announc

Familiarity with international Law,
trained craftsmanship, the highest
integrity, real intellect practical
politics, experience in legislation,
through knowledge of men, culture,
business shrewdness, executive abil
ity, high legal attachments, deep
study and ripe experience are to be
found among the members of the
Cabinetmaking it as whole one of
the strongest with which an Admin
istration has been launched on its
four years journey since the DAYS of
the first President
These qualities are cemented ana
selified by the unblemished charac-
ter and the thorough, answering
Democracy for which every member
of the Cabinet is distinguished.
1t does net fellow that President
Cleyeland's selection of his advisers
will prove wholly acceptable to the
entire party or the entire country.
There is bound to be some disap-
pointment and dissatisfaction. These
viii, hswever, not be due to ohjec
ton to individuals, but mainly to
personal disappointment and to local,
geographical and factional consider
atoms.
New Jersey and Connecticut, with
some reason, may feel hurt at being
passed over for Massachusetts.
which has never cast Democratic
electoral vote since the formation Of
the Republican party. Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois and Missouri may think
that they we're entitled to considera
tion before Republican Wisconsin.
But, after all, the people want
good government and as the con
structioa of the Cabinet ENSURES
that they care not fig who is ap-
pointed or who disappointed.
Beyond q doubt the names in the
list of President Cieveland's advisers
are q guarantee that the depa tments
will all be efficiently and honestly
managed. Each one hiss been chos
en-, not for expedlency but on the
simple Jeffersenian test: Els be
honest 10 he capable, IS he faithful
to the Constitution
We accept the Cabinet as vinSi-
cation Of Grover Cleveland's nomi-
nation and election on every essen
tial point
1t means Honest Government.
1t means Capable Government
1t means Democratic Government
IL means Reform.
He has called about him earnest
honest men, champions Of
popular right uphoiders Of clean,
COED government as he wss bound
TO do by his past record, his party
platform and the support he receiy-
ed from Independent voters. He
has called about him only positive,
pronounced Democrats. as he was
bound to do IN justice 10 nearly FIVE
million Democrats whe chose him as
the standard bearer OF the party and
rs the President OF the Republic.
We believe that with such q Cabi.
net President Cleveland's Admins
sration starts out on successful ca
rser.
