mire Nr. Cleveland for many things,
but he cant run with the rabbit and
bark with t&.o hounds. His Admins
tration has got to be Democratic or
nothing. Those Republicans have
held the public offices so long they
really believe they have warrantee
title or fee simple TO them and their
heirs forever. They don't confess to
quit claim, and they won't quit
claiming either. Why it pretty near
takes the military to get them out.
Mr.. Cleveland ought to wake up from
his Utopian dreams, his "obnoxious
desuetut|e" and shake his ambrosial
locks and say file left march, lie
will lose some gooi men and get
some bad ones il their places, but
VIC can't help that. The country
cant be worsted. Il is high time
that a new set were in training. 1t
will take our boys ten years to get as
expert in the spoils business as the
Republicans are now. It will take q
wear or two for their natural diff
dence to wear Of and to get fan iliar
with ali the avenues and nigh cuts
to the overAowing Treasury; but they
will learn in dae time. They will
first look, then linger, then embrace.
But any change will be for the pub
lie good, and if our boys go to plum
dering it will give a wider spread Of
national fayors and save filing bill
for distribution. So let Mr.. Cleve-
land reconsider bis ways and be wise.

chance. There used to be way of

Due and MIR. Loring did remember
me and appointed me agricultural
correspondent for my county, but
there is 10 pay attached to it-no-
thing but few turnip seed and to-

over the South. The Democrats fill
these sort Of offices and the Republi-
cans the others. What we all cN-
pected was change-a change unan-
imous and ubiquitous. We wanted
to sec the whole grand army of one
hundred thousand office holders rack
up and come out and fall into line,
and Mr.. Cleveland to stand on the
dome o. the Capitol, with his wand
in his hand, and hear him cxclaim in
a voice Of thunder: Now, let the
procession proceed" Mr.. Cleveland
has got an idea that he was elected
President over the whole people, and
that now he is no longer { partizan
or Democrat. That is true, so far
as executing the laws is concerned,
bat no further. The truth is, he is
not the whole peoples President.
