THE PRESIDEYTS INSINOERITY

President Cleyeland's warning to heads OF
departments about official participation IN pol
itics is rather the shallowest sham OF tilis era
of shams. Here is solemn letter addressed 10
the seven Cabinet officers, who meet lace 10
face over the Presidents table. Docs the leu
fer convey to them any new information ABOUT
the Presidents purposes Ii it does, why mas
the President so long hidden from his associates
his intention to carry ont his ofiiclal pieoges
But if it does not what conceivable reason Gull
there be for publicly saying to these seven men
what he could have said, and ought to have sid
far more emphaticaly many times over durlhg
their official consultations
It is a cheap fraud. The President knows
perfectly well that the rule laid down III this
letter is and has been cOntemptuousy disfe-
Cardcd by officials in every department WITHOUT
rxception. He has known this for months, and
he has even made a great many appointments
which he knew were made for the express plr-
nose of placing great political influence in the
hands of skilled and INSCRIPTIONS party work
crs. Instances of shameless activity OF various
officials in political and party management nave
been brought to his attention a hundred cme'.
He has never removed a single official 1or 'ilaV
offence. and does not now. But he thinks the
people of this country sufficiently green 10 De
fooled by repetition of injunctions when dis
subordinates disregard and defy every day.
1t happens that this sham letter is obviously
called out by peculiarly fragrant case OF vio-
lation of its Injunction. The Cincinnati En-
quirer, few days ago, called public attention IN
the most cutting manner to the conspicuous
activity of new officials in certain ONO Coh-
gressional district enumerating the officers VINO
took part in a convention, and who, IN iact. had
hacked the convention by use OF their Official
Influence. and denounced the abuse In strong
words which were reprinted and placed before
the President. He could not affect any longer
10 believe that no such abuse existed. But he
would not remove or censure single Official
Consequently he has sent out this Pcckshinaii
letter to the men who sit at the same table wlth
him, supposing that the public may be gulled
by it, Nothing has occurred since the Pres
ident's Inauguration to show more clearly the
iusincerity of his professions and the essentially
fraudulent character of his Administration
than the publication of this missive under the
peculiar circumstances.

But words do not materially injure the ten.
And the interesting question is, What is the
Morrison wing of the party going to do about
it, Most of the ten are likely to be candidates

Morrison Democrats be put up to run against

themselves with knitting the ten at the polls
