81. Louis GlObe-Demoerat.
That the public patronage is a hind
rance rather than help to the party
in power receives new and striking
proof from the record OF the recent
election. Six states are represented
in the cabinet, and the officials from
four out of these six were on the
stump at one time or ano her during
the canvass. But in each OF these
states the democrats lost ground. The
state OF Sc rotary Bayard, for the first
time in its history, elects a Republican
legislature which will choose a Repub-
lean senator. Secretary Villas state
gives - per cent more of plurality to
Harrison than il gave TO Blaine. The
state of which the postmaster-general
is a resident rolls up in 1858, Repub-
lean plurality six times as great as
that which il gave in 1854, while the
state OF Secretaries Fairchild and
Whitney, which went Democratic four
years ago, enrolls itself in the Repub-
iican column this year.
Boston ddre1iser: Ii is highly
probable that the men in the South
who have identified themselves with
the progress and prosperity Of the
country will be the ones upon whom
President Harrison will chiefly rely
for aid in carrying out the regenera-
ton which he hopes for, and that his
appointments will clearly indicate
this In this way an appeal will be
made to the South 20 which we be-
lieye ii ready to listen. for il will be the
best assurance that the progress and
prosperity OF the South a part of
our common country are earnestly de-
be that the mind which saw in the
emancipation OF the slaves It mere
partisan expedieut may judge such 4
policy of the new administration a
mere trick TO split the solid South, but
minds not stepped in Bourbon preju-
dice will not refuse 10 advance the
welfare OF those they hold dear from
the fear shat the pro 'perity Of the
South may contribute 10 the growth
Of the Republican party.
