How Republican Disappointed Office
Seekers do 'Their GTumbling.

[From Greensboro North state Republican
organ
The disappointed Republican office seek
ers. up to this time, do their grumbling
on the quiet. They remind Us of the old
story about he camping out party. Il
was agreed that lots would be drawn to
decide who should cook: and the under
standing was that the first cook should
continue until some one found fault with
the cooking, when the fault finder should
be the cook. and so on.
OF course the most execrable stuff was
dished up every meal, and an outbreak
was constantly expected, The boys stood
everything pretty well, but were fast
starving out, when one day the biscuits
were Just too bad for any human being to
eat. one of the party took a bite a taste
and contOrted his face into every shape,
and exclaimed: ''ThiS is the blank blank

1T l. NOW proposed to raise the salary of
a nlted States Senator to $40 900 a year,
and a member of the House TO 81, 600 This
IS one way of getting the surplus out of
the Treasury. The CHRONICLE believes the
present salaries are large enough, and
that one of the greatest evils of this day
IS the determination of public men to
make money out of their positions. This
is in striking contrast to the conduct of
THOMAS JEFFERSON who said that he did
not want 10 make money out of public po-
sltlon-that il made a man subject to suspi-
