Sentimental Politics.
COUNTy NV

<hiisi'a-N SoUN1 L NUV. 10, lOOU,
10 the editor Of The alexandria Gazette:
Mr. Barbour is right in charging our re-.
cent defeat in this State to what he terms
the sentimental politics. of the admins
tratlon. Yes, it is just as true of Virginia
as it is of the strong democratic district of
kentucky, which comprises the city of
Louisville, in which city, OF The ninety thou.
SAND dollars paid out annually through and on
account OF the postotfce only eight thousand goes
into the hands of democratic employees-this un-
der republican postmistress appointed to office
by this democrat c administration Mr.. Willis,
the democratic member of Congress from that
district, who advocated this appoin tment, was
left at home 10y his constituents on account of it.,
and Caruth, the man who beat him for the nomi-
nation camo within a few hundred votes of being
dcieated at tho polls, great was tho disgust at
TINS injustice to democrats Of that city, and MANY
democratic members Of the present Congress haye
Jailed OF denomination account of their active
sympathy with this new idea of Sentimental pol
ltlcs. Among them is cOnspicuou sly Mr.. Reid
OF North Carolina. Mr.. Barbour is clearly right
but what hope is there of change in the condi-
tlons to which he charges the recent reyerses Z?
MIR. Cleveland was once Governor of New York
and how he applied his sentimental politics" to
the discomfort and neglect Of democrats of that
State is part of his history. TheTammany voters
had his measure in this regard when they refused
to support him for the Presidency, whereby, in.
stead of carrying New York State by the good
democratic majority of forty thousand or more,
he barely pullcdsthrought with few hundred
given him by mugwnmps who were satisfied with
his duhernatorial record for keeping republicans
in office. Will Mr.. Cleveland remove the handi-
cap, so that Mr. Barbour may elect democratic
Legislature IN Virginia next year? DEMOCRAT.

lions, and that gentleman is the sagacious John s.
Barbour, oil Virginia. If that gentleman has been
quoted correctly in a recent interview then there
is no one who has closely observed the policy of
the administration but will cordially endorse his
sentiments openly and fcarlcssly expressed. Mr..
Barbour holds tho impresnahle position that the

assert that no President Of the United States has
ever proven SUCCESS who has disregardcd the
counsels o. the leaders of his party. All history
confirms this, and tho present administration is
not IN exception. IT. is not supposed, however,
that 1t Will listen to the advice Of Mr.. Barbour,
but will still go on to tho end under tho fatal de.

that civil service reform embraces all employees
