THE Cincinnati Enquirer reports that
at the recent Democratic Congressional
convention eld at Coshocton, O.. result
ing in the nomination of Beriah wilkins,
there was no less than twenty-four Fed
eral office holders, conducting themselves
as if they and their offices were the per-
sonal property of Congressman seeking
a denomination. All this happened not
withstanding the fact that it has been
but brief season since President Cleve-
land, in that fine sense of reform on pa
per for which he is noted. and for which
Mugwumps laud and magnify him, de-
nounced Republican Office holders. "be-
cause they have used their places for
party purposes in disregard of their duty
to the people; and because, instead of
being decent public servants, they have
proved themselves offensive partisans
and unscrupulous manipulators of local
party management"

THE Democratic convention orators

THE Democratic convention orators
took special pleasure in using Hon. L.
Danford's speech before the Republican
convention advising Republicans, when
they saw a man coming into their camp
''astraddle of his money bags to hit him
and hit him hard" as special text for
their remarks. 1t did not appear to them
that Chairman DanfOrd had special ref
erence to the bold and notorious use of
money in politics by one of the men who
received consideration, and whose metht
ods were Endorsed, by the very conven-
tion which these gentlemen were ad-
dressing,

IT is noted as a curious fact that the
Presidents zeal in vetoing appropria-
.tions for public buildings, somehow or
other, is modified by the geographical
location of the proposed work. The
buildings at Forth Smith, Arkansas, and
San Antonia, Texas, were endorsed, but
those for Duluth, Sioux City, GAINESVILLE
and Dayton were vetoed. Certainly so
eminent a reformer as Grover Cleveland
does not first stop to inquire whether the
buildings are to be erected where De-
mQcracy reigns supreme, before he apI
proves the measure

THE story sent out by Democratic cor
respondents in Washington, to the effect
that General Logan had requested that
the votes of members of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections, as to the
Payne bribery investigation, be kept Sc
cret. is denied by order of the entire
committee, over the signature of its
chairman, Senator Hoar. With those
who know Logan. the denial is unneces-
sary, for he always had the courage to
stand by his convictions of right, never
fiinching from responsibility for his acts.

A PHILADELPHIA paper talks about
"workingmen who work." but fails to
draw the distinction between those who
work with their mouths and those who
labor with their hands. A politician
seeking to ride into a fat Office under
the garb of Workingman, is generally
one who works chiefly with his mouth.
