During the last quarter of century the he

have controlled the Assembly the entire period
with the exception of seven years. Since
1875 the Democrats have never had majority
in the Senate save once, and never In the AS

therefore, that tho present fiscal condi'loh Vi

What sort Of appropriations have the hepuoh-

MAYOR CH4PINS APPOINTMENT rs.

MAYOR CHAPINS APPOINTMENTS.
Mayor Chapns appointments in Brooklyn
Justify the arguments employed against HIM
during the canvass. He was nominated by
Boss Mclaughlin; it was confidently asserted
on the Republican side that he would find 1t
impossible to resist one of the most powerful
political machines known in American politics;
and he has surrendered at discretion to the
City Hall "gang." The reconstructed govern
ment of Brooklyn, as "The Eagle" his special
champion, is forced to admit, is distinctly
machine administration" During the canvass
he repeatedly asserted that he was not under
personal obligations to any leader or group of
politicians for the nomination. and pledged
himself if elected to consider the interests OF
Brooklyn alone. His appointments show that
he has considered the demands of the machine
rather than the interests of the city. The re-
appointment Of Fire Commissioner Ennis, with
The renewal Of Chief Engineer Nevins's lease
of power; the removal Of Collector Harden
bergh, who had excited the enmity of the
"gang,o and the selection of Alden S. Swan,
the ring candidate, as his successor: and the
retention of the Excise Commissioners, who
had earned the goodwill of the liquor-sellers
of the town. arc acts which cannot be explained
away. If Mayor Chaplin had felt at liberty to
exercise independent judgment and to fulfil
bis pledges, he would not have made these and
other appointments lie was not his own
master He was Boss McLaughlin's man, and
did what he was told to do.
This experience ought to convince the people
of Brooklyn that no candidate of the Democratic
party can be depended upon when genuine re-
form measures and non partisan administration
are required in local affairs. Since Mayor Low
retired from office two cminently respectable
Democrats have succeeded him. Mayor Whit
ney was Boss McLaughin's man from the be-
ginning to the end of his term. Mayor Chapln's
earliest official acts prove that the worst Zig
ures in his predecessors administration are to
be retained for another term and that the cor
rupt influences of the City Hall gang are to be
perpetuated "No man can serve two mas
ters." Mayor Whitney could not serve
Brooklyn and Mclaughlin. Mayor Chaplin
had to mako his choice between
these two masters, and remembering
that he could never hope to get the nomination
for Governor without McLaughlin's aid, he left
Brooklyn to shift for itself. During the cam
yass it was conceded on all sides that he was
the strongest and most respectable candidate
whom the Democratic party managers could
have nominated against Colonel Baird. He has
not shown himself strong enough to resist the
machine politicians, nor respectable enough to
fulfil his pledges.

THE LOUISIANA DEMOCRATS.

The bitter factional contest within the Dem
ocratic party of Louisiana has resulted IN the
overwhelming defeat of Governor McEnery,
who was candidate for reelection, and VIC
tory for General Nichols, his sometime pre-
decessor in the office The contest has been
marked by numerous ARRAYS and murders and
although the defeated faction outwardly ac-
ouiesces in the result, it cannot but leave
bitter feeling behind it.
In wrangle of this kind the outsider is not
likely to discover any urgent call for his sym
pathies from either party but so far as there
is any, Republicans. both in Louisiana and else
where will be disposed TO sympathize with the
followers of McEnery. The Nichols party,
calling themselves "RefOmers," had the
cffrontery to make their campaign largely upon
promises that there should be no bulldozing
if they were successful. This was done, no
doubt, with the view Of catching the negro
vote. when the nomination had once been Sc
cured. We call this effrontery, because all
General Nichoils's success has been won hither
to by the very outrages he now processes to
deprccate He was elected Governor in the
memorable campaign of 70, and has as much
blood on his hands as any man ever elevated
to high office in the South. For him now to
turn about and profess love for liberation
and political liberty is adding the sin of hypoc-
risy to those that went before The leading
papers of the McEnery party have not hesitated
to remind General Nichols openly that he
profited by bulldozing so long as it was ncces-
sary. When there seemed TO be prospect
that this contest might split the party, and
bring both McEnery and Nichols before the
people as candidates, Nichols was ready to
confess all that had ever been
charged. and to promise that there
should be no such crimes in future.
because he thought he should need more
votes than he could get from his own party.
A reformer Of this type is never to be trusted.
We should welcome the conversion OF any
Southern leader who would announce himself
in favor of allowing the negroes their political
rights, but VIC have no faith in man who
owes all that he is to bulldozing and fraud,
and then has change of heart for this occa7
sion only" The McEnery faction have at
least not been guilty of false professions.
This situation may give the Louisiana Re-
publicans the opportunity they have been wait
ing for. The resentment of the McEnery men
cannot but weaken the party. The Republic
cans are to hold convention this month and

These figures, it will be observed, do not
touch at all upon the clerical force OF the Gov
.rnment. But it is notorious fact that tho
changes there also have been of the most
sweeping character. The investigations OF
last summer into the workings of the Phila-
delphia Post Office and the Federal Offices in
Chicago showed that the number of changes
was great, and that by some mysterious process
only Democrats found their way into the vacant
places. AS an example of what has been going
on in our own Custom House in Newly DIRK, we
may note table that was published some
weeks ago in "1'hc Sum- which cxultingly
claimed that before long none but Democrats
would be on guard there This showed that
between January 1 and December 1. 1887.
there were 292 new appointments to sub
ordinate places in the New York Custom House,
or about one for every working day. If these
things arc done in offices that are supposed to
be protected by the Civil Service law, it is
easy to imagine what goes on in Offices that arc
not governed by it.
Senator Hale promises another list shortly,
showing the changes since last June in the
classes of Offices gwen above. 1t ought to
make interesting reading. Meantime the table
is good thing to show to any man who still
believes that this is a Reform Administration.
