McCLELLAND MUST 60.
HIS CUSTOM HOUSE REIGN OVER,
IT WAS COLLECTOR OR DEPUTY AND THE COLI
LECTOR CHOSE TO STAY.


The protests of this paper against the retention
in Office Of Deputy Collector Charles T. Nc
Cleand have been cffectual at last. He is go
ing. How soon he will take his departure cannot
be definitely said this morning, but it is not
likely that he will be allowed to stand on the
order of his departure for more than fortnight,
possibly not SO long. The patience of the Adj
nnstration has been tried severely as that Of
the party. 1t will tolerate no further delay OF
accept no more of the remarkable excuses that
have been offered by the Collector in defence OF
his policy regarding McClelland. To put the case
in plain language, either the Collector or his
Deputy had to go, and, of course, it did not take
long for Colonel Erhardt 10 arrive at decision
in such
To be sure, McClelland will be allowed to offer
his resignation. lie will probably hand it in to-
day No doubt he will be permitted to indulge in
some rhetorical flights in his own defence, and
possibly in some violent denunciation of The Trib
unes wicked course in calling attention to his do
ings at Dobbs Ferry and elsewhere. lie will. II
lie can pose as martyr to partisan feeling, though
he said on Thursday that the articles against
him were written by a personal enemy, and that
politics had nothing to do with their publication.
But perhaps Mr. McClelland has found out since
then that this paper is not edited at Dobbs Ferry.
IL Is only Just, however. I'd sdy oiido ho ocPu~
lican blames McCleand for holding on as long
as he could If the Collector, after being informed
about the political character and record OF his
assistant, was still satisfied TO have him remain
in such a conspicuous position as he occupied, why
it was not for McClelland 10 dcmur. His friends
at Dobbs Ferry boastcd that he was indispensable
to the Collector and declared that 1t was useless
for The Tribune to kick about his retention
No one can deny that they had some grounds for
talking in this way.
IL is to be hoped that McClelland will not %
allowed to 60 alone. He has number OF VEST
chester friends in the Custom House. who have
been kept there through his influence, and these
should be allowed to keep him company in his
retirement Now that the Collector is compelled
to find some man in the Republican party oi
sufficient ability 10 take McCleland's place: ne
may also discover substitutes for thesa
Democratic friends of his favorite deputy.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the 0pJection
to McCleland's retention was not based upon the
mere fact that he is Democrat, although he is, as
he boasts, one of the Cleveland variety. but upon
his outrageous acts against Republicans, and par
ticuarly his course on election day, 1888, whereby
thirty-two citizens who desired to vote for har
rison and Morton were prevented from doing 80
by methods worthy only of the most violens
Southern bulldOzer.
