Mr.. RANDALL recently, while talking
about the perastency of republican office
seekers in Washington, said
Yes, and they should have the offices.
They do The work and win the battles, and
are entitled to the rewards. There is where
we missed it. Had we looked after the in
terests of the boys 10 our party, the republi
cans would never have got into power
again."

and business people expect pay, in some
shape or other, for their services, and are
disappointed and provoked when they don't
receive it. Sad, but as true as it is natural,
and just as true of applicants for important,
as for minor offices.

The Long Bridge.
