The LETTER or SENATOR PAYNE


And the answer thereto OF Mr., Monnot
Of the Young Mems Club, have revived
somewhat the postofice question In
Canton.
The letter OF the Senator contained
information that was new 10 Cantoniana
generally, and the Senator'S auguat
mind seems 10 have thought II would
overwhelm and cOnfound the members
Of the club, and the President thereof.
II would not seem the Senator had
given any attention or confederation 10
the letters and papers OF Archie Mcdre'
gor, for no makes no reference To them,
although numerous letters and docu'
ments we're not mine months old'i In
fact not nine weeks old, aud all this Mr.
Payne knew. He does not refer TO the
vote, but kicks that aside about as easily
"a he does Donavin and hls letters
.All thla shows Senator Payne's Idea
Of the ~ ffersonian rule" that he refers
TO. "The devil can quote scripture for
his purpose; and Mr.. Payne loves 10
hold up jefferson aud jackson as his
models! Hence his "Jeffersonian rule,
and his "hlckory broom"l All this re'
minds us OF thOs, who write, talk ana
think, no much about Vice and virtue,
that they have no time TO practice
either one or the other.
The aIra Of arrogance and Importance
of this new Il dyed Senator are worthy
of some old British lord, like BIZ An
thony Absolute, who was VERY easily
led, II no had his own way"
For example, Senator Payne was not
pleased that Archie McGregor had the
audacity to send letters and documents
addressed to the President, direct to tho
White House, claiming that everything
must pass through HIS senatorship for
sooth, as II the executive were not an
independent, though a coordinate
branch OF the government, az waa al
ways claimed by Jefferson and jackson,
as well as by all Of our highest author
tiles.
BY advice Of friends In Washington
Mr.. Mc6regor consigned oil his later
papers to the Senator, hoping to concil'
tate aud allay his supeTclll0us peryeralty,
enough at least to have him act fairly
and respect the will OF the Democracy
who were the party In interest The re-
suit shows II was oil labor lost, for thia
Senator In not disposed to harmonize
and build up the Democratic par y He
evidently cares more to put the knife
into those who have done service In
maintaining and preserving the party
when such 40 he we're quite willing TO
lot II slide.
In fact, the corpOrals guard here who
have hls ear and confidence have not
the confidence OF honest Democrats who |
know their past history and distinguish
Cd Ieachory, to go no further In expos
ing their rOttenness.
These henchmon here had not fully |
posted the Senator, otherwise no would
not have written his letter TO President
Monnot Of the Y, NJ. D. g. Some Of those
no names are not ilatterod by the OK
posure.
The Senator evidently thought no was
doing a big thing In writing that letters
and no was, by putting hie foot right In
IT, N was quite proper that II should
follow on after his other distinguished
performance In appointing William
Archinal.
President Grover Cleveland should
really give Senator Payne u leather
medal and set him In claas by himself
After doing this the President should
really be the President, and heed little
The wilh Of tho Democracy who are the
party In interest, In such matters,
