Republicans and Democrats

holders.

OplillOHo 1iUiH nCpuUliCauo ddu ICtHo-
Gratis of st. Paul and the state on the
subject. They are very pertinent to
the thrilling situation the federal Office
holders now find themselves in:
FIRE THEM.
8 Charley Parker-If was Harrison |
would fire every Democrat at once. and
Cleveland ought to have done the same
with the Republicans.
j. c. Flynn would advise modera-
ton. There are many Democrats [
would like to see remain in Office until
their terms are expired.
George F. Potter-I believe in civil
service reform and would not have Har-
riSon make wholesale removals.
S. s. Murdock-Let Gen. Harrison re-
tain in Office all competent men. | be-
iieve honest competency should take
precedence of partisanship.
S. LOWenstein-I am in favor of Har-
rson's unfolding civil service reform.
w. j. lveS-Let the competent DEM
ocratS remain in until their terms eX-
pire, is my doctrine.
r. L. O'Connor-I want to see them
all turned out as soon as possible. If
Cleveland had followed that method of
procedure he would have strengthened
his cause, for you cannot expect Repub-
lican officehOlders to be suited with a
Democratic administration, nor can you
look for the contrary result. The sooner
they go the better l will be pleased.
Sheriff Richter-Cleveland was good
and have 10 doubt Harrison will be
equally considerable. but to the victors
belong the spells.
James Kain-Civil service is sham.
Let Harrison turn them all out just as
quickly as possible, if only to show a
Democratic administration what course
should have been pursued.
GIVE 'EM SOUP.
Baz Armstrong-They should all be
thrown in the soup. What right have
we Democrats to expect favors of Re-
publican administration? President
Cleveland was so lenient that he has
now reaped the result Of his kindness
and consideration to Republican federal
officeh0lderS.
Auditor Nj. f. Kaln-The Republi-
cans made clean sweep and deserve
the Offices. Let Mr.. Harrison act ac-
cOrdingly.
County Attorney Lord. of Dodge
county, am hardly in favor of turn
ing the present federal incumbents out
on too short notice. and the next ex-
ecutive should take his time in the
matter.
j. p. McMartin-Thcrc are as many
able and capable Republicans as there
are Democrats, therefore let them have
the Offices.
Louis Memo, Assistant Secretary Re-
publican Congressional Committee
We must not be too haSty in the matter,
but must exercise care and discretion.
w. b. Smith suppose they will all
be thrown III the soup.
Fred Wheeler never advocated the
keeping of Republicans in Office by
Democratic administration, so | think
they should all go as soon as possible.
IgnatluS D0nneily, Mugwump-Wel
l suppose the Democrats who will be
out know that they cannot get at the
plums for another four years. and the
Republicans who object to a slaughter
of the nnocentS are those who know
that their claims for patronage will not
be recognized.
DR.. Edgar Snyder-The Democratic
party is now dead. Out of the five ter
ritOries which will now be admitted
will be erected the political tombstone
of the defunct Democracy. l say turn
them all out save Postmaster Lee, and
| but voice the sentiment of large
number of conservative Republicans.
Tams Bixby-They should all go. un-
less their terms have nearly expired.
CRACKS SCHEFFER.
Gen. Baker, do net know what
action the new administration will take
regarding the disposition of the federal
Offices. | will say, however, that if
Albert Schetfer had made three more
speeches we would have carried the
state by 10000.
Joseph Costigan-I say turn them all
out; the Republicans won the fight and
deserve the Offices.
John F. Norrish-My house is in per-
feet order, and | do not expect to 20
begging.
Dairy Commissioner Iyes-If they
are competent let them stay until their
terms expire, but as Republicans will
he responsible for the next administra-
ton all incompetents will have to be
removed.
Horace Dunne-All Democratic en-
ployeS of the government are sure to
get the sack anyway at the earliest
opportunity, and they should have the
grace to step down and out the 4th Of
March.
SflttI dIh--Sltftfdlftt was Ill
but we must submit to the inevitable.
1t will probably be one, two, three and
bounce with Democratic employees of
the. government.
TURN ABOUT FAIR PLAY.
A. p. HendrickS0n-If the Repablc-
ans accord the Democrats as good treat
ment as they received at the hands of
President Cleveland great many Dem
ocrats will undoubtedly remain in the
service of the government.
DR.. Gurney-l am more than satisfied
with the result, as every candidate |
voted for was elected. | come out of
the race the winner of seven silk hats
and six suppers. / won five hats ON
Harrison and two on Quinn.
William Pitt Murray am we'll
enough satisfied with the result. Would
have preferred it otherwise, as matter
of course, but always give up willingly
to the choice of the people. | believe
Mr.. Harrison TO be a good, clean, honest
man, and that as such he will carry out
the spirit of civil service reform, and
that all officials appointed by Cleveland
will be allowed to hold their positions
until their terms expire.
Gates A. Johnson-I am we'll salts
fed with the result and lock forward to
a good, clean administration. MIR. Har-
rison's course in the past would indicate
that he is q conscientious and conserva-
tive man, and believe he will stand by
the civil service laws in the administra-
ton of the affairs of the government.
John w. Roche-I have 10 particular
fault to find with the general result. but
what could we do about it if we had? l
look forward to good, clean and con-
Saryatiya administration
l.. w. Rundlett-Don't suppose the
situation could be averted, and shall
await with considerable interest the
course of the president-elect, particu-
larly with reference to the course he
takes on the>civii service reform.
MURPHY SHOUTS.
Dr. J. HI. Murphy-The result of the
election is a most glorious one. The
victory was complete, and we will have
a good administration. | believe Mr..
Harrison will adhere to the principles
