ills not to be wondered at that the news
paper press generally interpret the decision
of the President in the matter of the Port
land collectorship as an affront put upon the
Speaker of the House of Representatives and
one Of the most conspicuous leaders OF the
Republican party of the nation by
the official head Of the party. True
it Us that the President is empowered
by the constitution to select whom
soever he sees fit to fill the offices, but equally
true is it that no Republican President with
in our recollection, with the possible excep-
ti0n of Mr.. johnson, who was an accidental
President has entirely ignored the wishes OF
the second most powerful man OF his admin
istratiop, upon whose ability and loyalty be
must largely rely for its success. by appoint
ing to the NEST important office In that
mans own district and in his own town man
known to be personally obnoxious to him.
Why even Democratic Presidents have given
more consideration than this to the personal
wishes of the Republican leaders. Repre-
sensations to President Cleveland that the
appointment of Col. g. B. Morton to the
postmastership of Augusta would be dis
tasteful to Mr.. Blaine were sufficient to
defeat his nomination, even In the face OF
the fact that nearly, If not quite, all the
Democratic leaders of Maine, and the rank
and file of the party in Augusta almost
unanimously urged his selection. But here
Is the spectacle Of Republican President
selecting out from scores of competent
Republicans the very man whom the
Speaker had over and over again pro-
tested against as personally offensive and
politically unfriendly, and placing him in
the most conspicuous Office in the Speak
er's own city, and placing him there,
too, at the request of the Speakers avowed
political enemies-men who make slight con-
cealment of the fact that they are trying to
send him to the rear, In order that they
may keep themselves at the front. The
performance is SO unprecedented as to excite
amazement.
OF course the selection that has been made
in the face of these facts has deeply panied
and grieved Mr.. Reeds friends in Maine and
elsewhere. 1t had seemed to them that the
wishes of man whose services to the party
had been so conspicuous as Mr.. Reeds were
entitled to some consideration at the hands
of the appointing power. 1t had seemed to
them that it was not fair and courteous
treatment to place in the most conspicuous
Office in his district man whose appoint
ment was sought for the reason. among
others, that that Office afforded a fine
vantage ground from which to strike at the
Speaker. 1t had seemed to them that the
President would never consent to humili-
ate one of the great leaders of the Republi-
can party in 'front.' as 1t were. of his own
regiment. They cherish the hope even now,
In spite of appearances, that some explana-
ton may be forthcoming that will relieve
the appointment of the unpleasant infer
ences that seem almost inevitably to flow

The Democratic papers are now discover
ing that it was discomfort with the tariff
shat cut the Republican vote down in YER
mont. Very soon they will undoubtedly
discover the same cause for the cut down of
the Democratic vote in Maine. With this
brace Of arguments the Democrats can go
into the doubtful congressional districts in
this campaign prepared to use either as the
situation may demand. In facilities for
carrying sail for every breeze the Demo-
Gratis are the best sailors on earth.

''Mr. Reed Downed" is favorite headline
in Democratic contemporaries to introduce
their readers to the fact that Col. F. N. Dow
has been appointed collector of the port of
Portland. The words are significant of the
pleasure the appointment has given the
Democrats. Naturally to see what they in
terpret as an affront to one of the most con-
spicuous leaders of the Republican party
gives them great pleasure. But II they an
tlcipate that Mr.. Reed is to be downed by
any such puny blow as this, they entirely
mistake the source of Mr.. Reeds strength.
AS far as that is concerned it makes very
little difference whether the offices are held
by Mr.. Reeds friends or by his enemies.
whether they are used for him or against
him. AS matter of fact Mr.. Reed has been
stronger under the latter condition than un-
der the former. Small men may need the
ofices to perpetuate their political existence.
but Mr.. Reed is not of meagre dimensions.

A Portland despatch to Boston Post (Dem.)
has this somewhat ancient and ridiculous,
but interesting assertion:
During the recent campaign in Maine, Mr..
BOWS friends had 1t in their power to defeat MIR.
Reed at word from Mr.. Dow, but they went 10
the polls and gave MIR. Reed the biggest majority
he ever had-and still Mr.. Reed opposed him.
1t is generally understood that the Port
land correspondent of the Boston Post is one
OF the editorial staff of Col. Dow's paper, the
Evening Express; but the inscriptions
MISREPRESENTATION Of Mr.. Reed contained in
yesterdays despatch to the Post, must mean
that some Democratic scribe now sends news
to the Post .1flaHa
