Some of the Bourbon organs in the
South seem 80 size up the meaning Of the
appointment of Mr. Lowering with good
teal of accuracy. The Nashville Demo-
crat. for instance. SAYS:
We look for the prolonged howl from the
MGggles over the appointment of Henry B.
Lowering BY Mr. Cleveland a. United States
Marshal in Massachusetts,. Mr.. Lowering
has been a Democrat from his youth up and
il man Of high character. But he Is not 50
deeply imDued With the Mugwumpian theory
Of civil service reform but that he can snip
of the head Of Republican Office holder by
a simple twist Of the wrist. 1t is alleged
Eainst Mr.. Lowering that he has very practi-
cal ideas on the subject of turning the rascals
out aud that his notion of an offensive parti-
san Is a radical in office. 1t Is said that Mr.
LJyering'- foot has a peculiar affinity for the
slack Of Republican office-hoiier's panta-
looms and it l. thought that his boxt0ed boot
will expedite the departure of many of the
truly good. All this will bring grief and
sorrow TO the Mngwump heart"
The Democrat is undoubtedly right
about Mr.. Coverings appointment bring
ing grief and sorrow to the Mugwump
heart, bnt there have been no indications
Of the prolonged houl' to which it refers.
The Democrat does not exactly apprehend
the true nature of the Massachusetts, Cleye-
land Mugwump.
