THE BURIAL OF CLEVELAND.

Not drum was heard, not funeral note,
AS his corpse from the White House we
hurried,
Not soldier shed one farewell tear;
That day when Cleveland was buried.
We buried him not at dead OF night,
No sOds with our bay onets tuining,
But the autumn sun was shining bright,
When has fate our ballots we've turning,
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
No free trade shrouu around him,
But the pension vetoes laid on his breast,
And the rebel flag record around him.
Few and short were the prayers we said,
We thought not then OF sorrow,
But we grieved for his record i'll the past,
As we joyfully thought OF the morrow.
We thought that night as we went TO oar
beds,
Aswe laid our heads on our pillows,
How the curses OF millions had fallen on his
head,
And the sorrow from over the pillows.
Lightly they talk of the spirit that's gone,
And DER his message upbraid him,
But nothing he'll reck, as he calmly sleeps
on,
In the grave where his vetoes have laid
him.

A Wall FROM MAINE.
BIalne's Left Bower Posing Is a Civil
Service Reform Saint.


Senator Hale (Republican). of Maine,
who is Blaine's righthand man, has
assailcd the President ON slightly bet
ter grounds than those chosen by Blaine
and Sherman. They have set up the
theory that Cleveland is dishonest be-
cause he is honest. that he is wasteful
because he is frugal. that he is oppres-
sive because he desires to lessen taxa
ton. But Hale avoids this kind of bat
tIe-ground. He calls mp the Civil-Serv-
ice question, and delivers philippe
against the discharge of Republicans
and the employment of Democrats.
On this point ne is able to say many
loud things, and to pound his fist on
the desk, and still not distort the truth
so lamentably as Sherman twisted it
the other day. For instance. Hale says
no other Administrator ever displaced
so many men, which sounds well TO a
Republican, but there are two sides to
that statement. Is it fair for one
party to have ell the offices for
ever? Because the Republican par
ty absolutely banished Democrats
from public life for twenty-four
years, should the Democrats continue
that prescription? Did not the rage of
party discipline finally shame even n
Republican Congress so that the Chief
Executive was commanded to appoint
a Democrat? And was not Leroy
Thoman for 4 time the only Democrat
in a post bellum Federal appointive
office, and then only because Congress
had ordained that a Democrat should
form Il minority of the Civil-Service
Commission and take the majority of the
blame? Was it fair Supreme Court
which sat, nine in q row. all Repub-
licans. Was it nine fair circuits and
fifty fair districts, and the two or three
Democratic judges tottering with age?
Was it not sardonic comment, when
Cleveland went in, that there was not
enough Democratic timber in the
Union to construct the bare frame
work of an administration? Did not
great officer after great officer hold to
the portfolio put in his hands by
Arthur? Did not the late Ster-
ling P. Rounds stay as Public
Printer long into the present
term? If civil service contemplate
a fair division of offices, bow do the
spoils stand between the two parties
for score of years? There are 5000
600 Republicans and 5,0O0,0 600 Demo
Gratis. Since Grant went in, how have
the 5. 600, coo Democrats Jared on the
average. supposing all to be true that
Hale alleges? Under his partys rule
