that was liar an so did my friends,
but old Buntin could outlie me till there
want enough o me to wad gun with.
Wy lynn fits him like musket. An
morn that he amt got any standin' in
the church, for he's allus jumpin' from
one church to another, an is like the old
turn coat that mout git ter heaben If ther
devil didn't happen to nab him between
the churches. I would walk his log but
dad snatch him, old as he is, he's az
strong as a mule an would ruther fight
than to sop sarcum. Oh, he is tough
but l think l can down him if you put
your shoulder to the wheel. If I was in
your place it would do me good to scatter
hin, all over the country. He pretends
to be in favor Of you. but you can't put
no confidence in him. Wy he once
turned states evidence an come in one
o sending passul o us to the peniten-
tiary. / wish you would write him a
letter and tell him that you don't want
him to run. You've got good chance
to do big thing for this neighborhood,
an thereby cover up what few mistakes
you have made since you was elected.
Don't Be afraid. Have moral courage,
for without it no officer can hope to ex
erciss much Of an influence. / don't
bleve there's much news in this neigh
borhood that would interest you. Tom,
my youngest boy, has been down with
the chills, but he'll soon be able to stir
about, for it takes good deal to hold
him down. Sue, my youngest daughter,
is goin to be married putty soon. She
is good gal, but the Teller she's goin' to
marry amt got no sence. Lemme tell
you what he done. He flung up a situa-
ton at still house an went to work on
a farm. Some folks never did know
when they was well of. Jim Hale
that's his name-ain't got much edyca-
ton an can't write nothin' but the first
half O. his name. Before Sue would
agree to have him she made him promise
that he would practice on the other half,
an understand that he has been putty
busy with the pen since then, but Farm
that the result is fur from encouragin'.
Sue could have married Teller that could
read the big, red circus printin', but
somehow she didn't take lkin' ter him.
My experience teaches me that wimin
air curious. Well that's about all the
news I've got, but if I hear Of any soon
you'll hear from me. Please don't furget
ole Buntin. Give him fits. Make your
letter strong and put three post stomps on
it to make it look bindin'. If you can
put il one o these big paste board en-
velops il will be all the better. "Arkansaw

some opposition from few jealous spirits
who care more for q little temporary
local advantage they get than they do
for party success and harmony, and who,
to carry their point, would disrupt thu
repuhGasuu-pafty. ] have concluded, i
the interest of harmony and to satisf
these jealous and disaffected ones, to re
woke said call. The success of the re
publican party is everything. I car
nothing for the abuse Of the creature

JEFFERSoYIAN CIVIL SERTICE REFOKM

JEFFERSONIAN CIVIL SERPiCG REfOEM
The lately published diary of Rufus Putnam
contains a letter which illumlnatcs one or twD
duskv corners of American history IN the hrst
decade Of this century. This Rufus Putnam
vos q second cousin of Israel, Chief Engineer
of the Continental Army, an intimate friend OF
Washington, and by HIM after the war made
limited States Judge of the Northwest Territory
and later Surveyor-Gcneral, from which place
he was removed by Jefferson on the charge oil
offensive partisanship. Tho letter was written
from Boston to Putnam by one Stephen Jones,
an old soldier who had shared with him the
Drivations of the old French and Indian war
and as he said waded through SHOWS and eaten
dog with him." and who seems to have been
member of the Massachusetts, Legislature.
Here is an extract:
noticed In the public prints some time since that T.
Jefferson had honored you by removing you from an
Office bestowed upon you by the great aud 'lrtuous
Wellington Your removal IS full evidence OF your
adherence TO the principles OF the good old Washington
school OF which ayOw myself n true disciple. Iho
uumerou. removals OF honest capable from OH co
and the vacancies made by r. Jefferson filled asain
by him with dd rascals has excited my warnest ndlH
nation"
From this it appears that venerable MaSsa-
chusctts statesmen Of that elder day used
naughty words even when writing to other
venerable gentlemen like Rufus Putnam, who
buit the first church and founded the first Sun
day-schoo in the Northwest Territory. Let us
hone that General Putnam shuGdcrcd when he
read this improper language. 1t appears, too,
| that the use of Il Presidents name without his
| title is not novelty, and editors who speak OF
| ar. b. HAYES are reminded that this fine old
! Federalist who alludcs with dsdaiu to /.
| Jefferson probably had no patent on the
practice but followed the habit of elder anti
! Federalsts who talked contcmptuOusly of j.
| Adams and of G. Washington. Again we have
corroborative evidence that \. Jackson does
not deserve to rank as patron saint OF the Dem
ocratic party All he did was to own up to the
vital Democratic doctrine about vctOrs and
spoils. The principle itself, before 1t was ever
formulated, was the germ out OF which the
primcval Democrat was evolved, and he began
| To reach out after the spoils rs soon as he was
organized.
And finally, to skip other instructive
deductions, if G. cleveland desires to fash
ION his Civil Service after the original Jetler
sonian pattern he has only to keep on as he ha
begun removing ola soldiers and other homes
and capable men " and filling their places witt
Pam n-Electricians and others whose structural
Weaknesses of character would move the grea
and good Stephen Jones if he were again witt

HALF A MILLION IN BANK BILLS


lanes w. Foshay, president OF the Broad
,vay and Seventh Avenue Railroad took jacob
Sho,p's place Yesterday as the chief object 0l
interest in the Senate Committees inv estiga-
tIon. His examination consumed the greater
mart of the session. He did not contribute
much of startling Lature to the disclosures
made in this inquiry, but he impressed al Ills
hearers with the preference shown by Mr. oharp
and his friends for bank bills rather than checks
asamedium of exchange. He testified that hall
a million mortgage was put on some property Oi
the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Company III
1854, and that the proceeds of the bonds were
converted into bank bills and Treasury notes
and kept in a safe depOslt vault from August III
1884 to June in 1885. Then the whole half
million was maid out in four days, Jacob Sharp
taking big share of the bills to apply tolvarl
ous purposes, among them the now famous pay
ment of S76,O 900 in a fat legal-tenher bunch
which passed directly from Mr. Sharps pOckct
10 the hands Of the counsel OF the broadway
and Seventh Avenue Line. When MIR. FOshay
was asked why this half million was converted
into bills and kept III n safe deposit vault so
long. the only reason he could give was that
the Metropolitan Bank had got INTO trouble a
short time before, and he and his associates
nreferred to have the money on hand in cash
rather than as a bank deposit.
OF course Mr.. FOshay does not expect that
people generally will accept any such explana-
| ton. But Mr.. Sharp, Mr. Richmond and Mr..
| Foshay have all shown themselves cynlcally
indifferent to public opinion and to their repu-
tatious for veracity. If reply to an embar-
| RAISING question serves their purpose 1Or 'he
| time, they are satisfied. They never banked Oh
public favor and good will, and in securing
! franchises and privileges to which they were not
entitled they never thought 1t necessary to con
ciliate public sentiment They found Other
means more eilicacious. And it is not surprls
ing that men of tins stamp should look will
suspicion on bank checks and eschew the keep
ing of accounts. Bank accounts and tcll-tal'
| stubs in check books got some members OF tn
| Tweed Ring into grievOus difficulties. 1h'
| children of this generation who have buslnes
relations with purchaseable AsSemblymen
| Aldermen find thousand dollar bills far NOR
persuasive than checks, which must be cashe'
and may be traced.
