PRESIDENT CLEVELAND issues an
order to the effect that ofllce-holders
under his Administration are not ex-
pected to capture the Primaries and
Conventions and do all the nominal.
ing themselves. In fact, the President
sees no reason why these things
should not be attended to by the peo-
pie themselves, which would leave to
the office-holders plenty of time to
attend to the duties they are paid to
perform. How would it do for our
honored reform Governor to issue a
SIMILAR order to his appointees, and
give them the benefit Of his example
in obeying it ?-[Kanawha Gazette.

The Presidcnt,s Latest Order.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July l4.-The
following Executive order was issued
by the President this afternoon:

A-NSNuOlNS OIuST WAS lSSuSu
by the President this afternoon:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, !
WASHINGTON, July IA, 1886.
To the Heads Of Departments in the
Service Of the General Government:
deem this proper time to espec.
tally warn all subordinates in the
several departments and all Office.
holders under the General Govern
ment against the use Of their official
positions in attempt to control polit-
lcal movements in their localities.
Otice-holders are the agents of the
people, not their masters. Not only
Is their time and labor due to the
Government, but they should scru.
pulously avoid in their political &C.
ton, as well as in the discharge of
their official duty, offending, by a
display of obtrusive partisanship,
their neighbors who have relations
with them as public officials. They
should also constantly remember that
their party friends from whom they
have received preferment have not
invested them with the power of
arbitrarily managing their political
affairs. They have no right as Office.
holders to dictate the political action
of their party associates or to throttle
freedom of action within party lines
by methods and practices which per.
vert every useful ard justifable pur.
pose Of party organization. The inAu.
ence Of Federal ofice-hoders should
not be felt in the manipulation of pc.
litical primary meetings and nomi.
mating conventions. The use by these
officials Of their positions to compass
their selection as delegates to polit-
cal conventions is indecent and un-
fair, and proper regard for the pro-
prietles and requirementsiof official
place will also prevent their assuming
the active conduct Of political cam
paigns,
Individual interests and activity in
political affairs are by no means con-
demned. Office holders are neither
DISTINGUISHED nor forbidden the exer-
else Of political privileges; but their
privilegeslare not enlarged nor is their
duty TO party increased to pernicious
activity by ofHce-holders. A just dis
elimination in this regard between the
things a citizen may properly do and
the purpose for which a public Office
should not be used, is easy, in the
light Of correct appreciation Of the
relation between the people and those
intrusted with official place, and q
consideration ofthe necessity under
our form Of Government, Of political
action free from official correction.
You are requested 20 communicate
the substance of these views To those
FOR whose guidance they are intended.

IT is rumored that there will be
some discord and discension in our
Democratic county convention that
meets at Terra Alta, August 9TH,
and that two sets Of delegates may
be sent from several districts: one
under the regular call of the County
Executive Committee, and the other
under call from authority that is at
present unknown to us. And while
we shall not take sides, or attempt to
vindicate either side, this we do say
and firmly advocate: that the con.
vention on that day examine into the
matter and ascertain where this dis.
organization comes from and who The
disorganizers are, and SH No1Cn
upon them in such an unmis.
taxable manner and in such decided
terms that it will not soon be forgot.

little personal notoriety, or secure
some selfish end, at the expense of
the unity and harmony of the Dem.
ocratic party.

You have heard the howl, dear
boys, over the Pension vetoes. Let
us give you sample: A man wan.
ted apension because he broke his
leg twenty years after the war in
jumping over a ditch while he was
gathering dandelions. If he hadn't
been in the army his leg wouldn't
have been broken you know. That's
what he says and he swears to it. A
Congressman introduces q pension
bill for his benefit and it is rushed
through with some six or seven 9th.
ers. The thing is so ridiculaus that
the President vetoes the bill as prop.
erly he should. If it comes to this
let us have bill pensioning all SOL
diers. That would at least be hon.
est and would wipe out the perjury
and subterfuges that are now resort.
ed to in pension business. Let us
have no more dandelion PENSIONS
