pectsd to 60 forward for sWo years doing
all in his power to organize and build up
the party in Tennessee, rscSncilIng differ
ences and healing wounds, but ''if reports
are true, he is using his high position to
promote his own ambitious schemes with
out regard for the interests of the demo-
cratic party" The Comet Eayr:
Instead of working to harmonic the
party in L nnessee, we hEd hin travelling
over tie state and laying pipes to secure
his OWE nomination for governor. Instead
of trying to harmonic the party, we fad
him working up opposition to the present
democratic governor and trying to use his
official position in the councils Of his par
ty to overthrow the custom, establIs he'd
by time and experience, Of Ienominating
the governor for rs-sl0Ction-a custo III
which when one time violated brought

to prostitute his position rs chairman Of

TIE PLEDGE BREAKER.

A correspondent wants to know how many
Republicans now remain in Office Nobody can
tell This is one of the things the Administra-
ton is careful not to let anybody know, lest it
should be damaging to the President to show
how completely he has violated his pledges.
Nevertheless Congressional inquiry has extort-
ed some details. statement appears regard
ing Offices outside of Washington in three of
the Departments, June IL, which casts some
light on the matter. The list embraces the
postmasters, but not their deputies, assistants,
clerks. mail carriers or other subordinates; the
Ministers and secretaries of legations abroad,
but not the far greater number OF Consuls; the
Collectors surveyors, naval officers and ap-
prasers of Custom Houses but not the dep
utes, clerks, wcghers, inspectors and other
subordinates, and so throughout the list 1t
includes $500 officials, or less than half of
the whole, and of these 42,15O had been
changed up to June IL, ten months ago, OF
more than three-quarters.
But il would be great mistake to infer that
the number of undstubed officials in the rest
of the service was as great as In tins part OF IT,
because the list includes the fourth-class post
masters, and out of 13,113 officers not changed
1900 were of that one class. A great mum
her OF these small Offices were held by Demo
Gratis under Republican Administrations, only
because in some localities no one else could be
found to take them. The pay is insignificant
and no person save one who happens to have
store or shop at convenient locality can afford
TO perform the duty for such trifing compensa-
ton. Many of the Democrats who hold over
