The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1888-11-15

thought, II the thlng worked Weil, ne
would get the mugwump vote for
President bimselfl He may get the
mugwump nomination, but | would
bet the last cent have in this world
that he will never get the Democratic
nomination. He has promoted one
Adee to be End Assistant Secretary
when there were thousands of Demo
Gratis ready and able to fill the place.
He has promoted his private secreta-
ry, a partisan Republican, one Bryan,
to big easy position in the State De
partment worth about $500 when
there we're Democrats who had work
ed for him and the Democracy for
nearly score of years, applying for
places in that department. He has
his reward. oday his Republican
cronies are laughing at him and the
Delaware Legislature for the first
time in years is Republican and will
send Republican Senator here to
succeed Salisbury. [ fail Ito see the
improperly in nominating Bayard
for the place, for he has certainly
earned the right to expect something
from the Republican party. In COM
mon gratitude, then, let the Delaware
Republican Legislature send Senator
Bayard back to the q. S. Senate to
serve them If he promotes their in
terest as we'll in the future as he has
done for the past three years and a
half, he will deserve to stand primus
facilis in the Pantheon of Republican
benefactors
Mr.. Secretary Lucius Quintius
Custius Lamar did not do much better
while he carried the portfolio of the
the Interior Department He expe-
rienced great difficulty in finding a
Democrat with as muSh sense as the
average Republican. Mr.. Justice
Lamar 1 always considered an over
rated man, and as don't like him |
will not write about him in my present
temper. Hon. Augustus Hill Garland
is another brother who had to put on
specks of great .magnifying power to
find Democrats fit to succeed the Re-
publicans in the Department of Jus
tice! And yet, he remarks that he
sis d. mad" on account of the result.
I kno,O Cleveland did not wish to have
the Civil Service Law strained by his
Cabinet in this outrageous way. [
have dwelt on this phase of his defeat
in order to exhonerate him and put
the blame on some of the members of
his Cabinet, where it justly belongs.
~
For the benefit of Republicans and
Democrats, will state that the Re-
publican managers here say that in
80 days after the Inauguration next
March there will not be Democratic
office holder in single department
in this city or in single Office in this
country This is ds it should be. IF
there is one left it will be because
there is not Republican to be found
who will have the place!
-
President Harrison's cabinet will
be something like the following, so the
slate makers here say:
Secretary of State: John Sherman,
of Ohio.
Secretary of the Navy: William P.
Frye, of Maine, or Nathan Goff, of
West Virginia.
Secretary OF the Treasury: VIM. B.
Allison, of Iowa
secretary of ihe Interior: Warner
Miller, of New York.
Secretary of War: Russell A. AL
ger, of Michigan.
Postmaster General: Matthew S.
Quay, of Pennsylvania, or VIM. Ma.
hone, of Virginia.
Attorney General: John B. Hen.
derson, of Missouri.
1t is understood here that Blaine
prefers to be Minister to England
rather than Secretary of State. HI
will no doubt have his choice. Th.
South will not be entirely left ou
in the cold. Virginia and Nortf
Carolina will get one or two importan
offices, and the incoming Republican
House of Representatives will he con
vened in extra session and will speedi
| ly repeal the Internal Revenue taxes
OF this your readers may fe j assured
This will be one of the first things at
tended to when the 51st Congress
meets, unless the Both Congress shoul,
anticipate its successor.
