openly own him. now, honceforth, and for
ever. Missouri has said to him, "Do this
and thou shalt have the state delegation at
the next convention; do il not and it shall
be against thee" He did Missours bidding.

will sing the song of Curtis and the mug

TO Mr.. Benton. district attorney for
Missouri, belongs the honor of having finally
dissipated the presidents intentions or pre-
tensions of civii-service reform. The pres
ident directed his appointees 10 abstain from
active campaigning IN politics. Mr.. Benton
Went straightway into very active service as
a democratic campaigner. The presidents
attention was called TO Mr.. Benton's very
fragrant disregard of his directions. Mr..
Benton appeared to be a rather unimportant
parsonage, and SO the president suspended
niul from office 10 atone, we suppose, for the
still more fragrant political activity of other
appolntees who were too influential to be sus-
pended.
Herein the president erred. Mr.. Benton
was not an unimportant person. He first
wrote a letter To the president, in which he
set forth the deeds that he had done, and
made assertion that he conceived himself TO
be the owner of himself when not actually
employed as district attorney. Then he
got the Missouri delegation, senatorial and
representative, to inform the president that
Mr. Benton's case was Mlssouris case, and
would be so regarded at the next National
democratic convention. Then the presi
dent wrote To Mr. Benton that he had re-
ceived "a very manly letter. from him, and
that he was convinced that Mr.. Benton had
done just what the president wished him TO
do; that the order forbidding appointees to
take active part in politics did not apply to
appointees who controlled states delega-
tions; that the whole thing was misunder-
standing any how, and finally that he begged
MIR. Benton to accept his considerations of
esteem and regard, and to consider the order
of suspension IA revoked. The president
will be supported by Missouri in 1888, but
he is no longer the fair child of destiny who
was to free the democratic Israel from the
burden of ancient tradition.-Inter ocean.
