ical document ever received the
signature of chief executive Of this govern
ment, and its reading will be enough to cause
every man to hang his head for shame Of the
churl who fills an office the dignity and pro-
priety of which are among the cherished
traditions of the Republic, and which have
never been so violated, even by Andrew john
son, at time when partisanship ran as high as
it did prior to his impeachment. The
impertinence Of the communication is equal to
its bad temper and worse rhetoric. Without
any attempt to analyze the remarkable mes
sage, we print it in full for the careful consid-
GRAFTON of our readers. Nothing he has
done since the 9TH of last March SO shows the
caliber of Grover Cleveland as this hot-headed,
narrow-minded sereed.

WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION.

Hundreds of Men Who Are Auxiously Await
ing the Action Of the Senate.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March AT IL o'clock to-day
dozen men stood around in the corridors, near
the Senate committee on commerce. Another
and larger crowd were in the vicinity OF the
room of the committee on posto fiices and post
roads. while near the room of the public lands
committee there was bunch Of men with
anxious eyes and ary-looking faces. plucked
one of the men aside, and inquired what was go
ing on.
'These men," said he, '.are all interested ia
pending nominations. They want to be con-
frmed. or have friends they are interested in
and who are on the books But the men you
see are nothing in comparison with these you DO
not see here the same mission. There are
two hundred men in town looking after confirma-
tons. In some single cases half-dozen men are
here and big fights are waging."
siHow is the outlook? asked.
"Discouraging." was the reply. ''The trouble
is we cannot ascertain when the blockade Is to
be raised, If at all. The Republican Senators
tell us that they will not act upon nominations
made to fill vacancies made by removals and
where the departments refuse information called
for. till this whole controversy between them
and the administration is settled. Now,
don't believe this controversy will be settled at
all. It will end, think, in the Senate adjourn
ing, with lot of nominations pending But 1t
has already stopped suspensions"

quality and quantity. It includes all ranks and
conditions OF men, from brigadier general to a
corporal, and from an adjutant general to a
veterinary surgeon. just what are the duties of

glittering array Of epaulettes and gold bullion

who rejoices in the name of j. Mob. Shepard, and
who groans beneath the rank and emoluments of
quartermaster general. No sooner was this @. O..
equipped with his commission bearing the big red
seal of the State than he not only assumed en-
tire command of the army and navy of the
State, but he also undertook to run the civil in
stitutions. But at last he struck a snag in the
person of the little lady who is the State Libra
rian. By the law of the State the Librarian is
the custodian of the building occupied by the
library and the State War Department Over
the building she has absolute control A day or
two after his induction into Office, O. G. Shep-
ard undertook to manage affairs contrary to the
wishes Of the Librarian, and when she took him
to task for it, he pompously asked if she knew
who he was. and informed her that he was
Quartermaster general Of the State of Indiana
She pluckly replied that she didn't care if he was
Generalinchief of the armies of the United
States. and that as the law put her in charge of
the building, she proposed to run 1t after
her own feeble manner, and if ne interfered
again she would have him and all his traps
tumbled into the street. and have him to hunt
quarters somewhere else The astonished @. G..
threatened to appeal to the Governor or the SUI
preme Court. but as the Librarian held to her
rights he finally subsidized, and now harmony is
said to prevail on the Governors staff. Being
anxious to know something more of this gor-
geous official sunfower | turned to the city di-
rectory, and there found an entry in bold type:

sue the investigation. The story was all in

the truth of the remark of F. D. NJ. that there is
nothing in this world as gorgeous as the staff of

If any additional proof were needed to
establish the more than questionable methods
whereby Henry B. Payne was elected United
States Senator from Ohio, it is furnished by
Democratic evidence. A special correspond
emit of the New York World furnishes the
following from Washington:
ia prominent Democrat from Ohio who is
here tonight, says that the real animus Of the
antagonism in the ranks of the Ohio Democ-
racy is not understood by the public at large
He says that the trouble is owing largely to
the way in which the betting was conducted
when Senator Payne was elected. The Payne
men began by taking all the bets they could
get that Pendleton would not be elected
They began even and ran up until they could
get no more at the odds of ten to one. They
then made an offer that Payne would be elect
ed. On this they got a great many BETS
They took all they could get at any odds
They then began to bet that old Gen. Durbin
Ward would get more votes in caucus than
Pendleton. The Pendleton fellows thought
this perfectly safe bet, and that it would be
the same as hedging to take these bets. SO
they staked their last dollar on this. The
Payne fellows so manipulated that they won
all these bets and actually bankrupted the
Pendleton men,"
The same authority says that the scheme
succeeded SO we'll that though thousands
were spent in buying members of the Legisla-
ture, the manipulators came out ahead by
thousands. Since the cypher telegram days of
1876, Democracy regards the use Of money le-
ultimate in elections, and if they can't rope in
Republicans, they are not averse to making a
little off their political brethren.
