That Fremont Vote.

The statement of w. II. Elder and
Fremont's letter recently published
thanking him for the only vote cast
for the pathfinder" in Cecil county
in 1856, has raised hornets nest
among the old vets of the Fremont
van guard.
The first and most authentic denial
is the election return published in
the Cecil Wing Immediately after
the election, which table gives the
vote of the county by districts. In
that table 20 votes are credited to
the Fremont electrol ticket in this
county. So much for documentary
testimony. The following letter
from R. +. May is further evidence
of Mr.. Elders forgetfulness
BozEMAN, MONTANA, July 3lst 80.
Mr.. f. E. EWING,
Dear Sir:-I would like to
wager full sized cayotte scalp that
Mr.. VIM. Fl. Elder did not vote for
Fremont & Dayton in 1856, and that
he did vote that year for Fillmore Il
Donaldson. Three votes were cast
in Elkton that year Tor Fremont, by
VIM. Pinkney Ewing, r. F. May and
DR.. John GiIpin. l may possibly be
mistaken as to Doctor Gilpin. Ii
he was residing on his farm near
Elkton that year, he voted for Ere.
mont. But the three votes were not
counted or recorded. The Republi.
can party has grown some in Elkton
since that period.
r. F. MAY.
The next witness to take the stand
is j. A Roman, now of Missouri, one
of the Bucktail Rifles and one of
Fremont's soldiers.
WHEATLAND, Mo-, July Both, 80.
EDITOR MIDLAND JoURNAL.-W hen
the claim that w. H. Elder was the
only man who voted for Gen. Ere.
mont in Cecil county in 1856, was
made public in December 1887, it
was so absurd that after writing a
statement of the vote in the Sth
District l concluded it was not worth
troubling you with, but it now seems
that Mr.. E. really believes himself to
be entitled to tnis distinction. The
vote in the 9Th Dist. was eight votes
for Fremont, and / can name seven
of them from memory. Joseph
Preston, VIM. Preston, A. Roman,

Yours respectfully,
j. A. ROMAN.
Accompanying this letter is the
following note and interesting rem.
iniscence of the war.
July 30th, 1890.
I thought some one else would
deny Elders claim, indeed supposed
1t. had been sat upon long ago, but
have pulled this old MSS. out of a
pigeon hole. and send it along to
confirm your belief, that it is not
based on fact How could Elder help
knowing that Pinkney Ewing was an
elector at large for the State of
Maryland, and while not an orator
on the stump was an exceedingly
able writer. His correspondence for
the New York Tribune of that date
under the signature of "W. p. E." l
remember we'll, and | have never had
doubt that he voted for Fremont's
electors at Elkton, and unless my
memory is badly at fault there were
three votes at that precinct for
Fremont, Yours,

The story is told Of German, who took the
hands of his clock to the maker to have them
fixed, because they did not keep proper time.
Of course, the clock maker demanded the
1Uorks, as in them lay the trouble. Boils and
blotches, pimples and other eruptions on the
exterior tell of q disordered condition of the
blood within. If you have these indications,
be wise in time, and take DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t puts the liver and
kidneys in good working order, purifies the
blood, cleanses the system from all impuri-
ties from whatever cause arising, and tones
up the functions generally.

THEIR METHODS CONDEMNED
An Open Letter to Mr.. Clarkson by a
Republican.

A Los Angeles man writes the follow
ing letter to Mr.. Clarkson, tirst-assistant
postmaster-general, appearing in the
New York World April 20, 1890;
DEAR SIR see it quoted in a re-
putable eastern daily that the removals
thus far by this administration
number about $4,000. In an
other column of the same paper
the startling announcement is
made that you have thus far removed
"a 900 fourth-class postmasters. Perhaps
even this assumption of seventeen-nine-
teenths of the reins of government (as at
present understood) would not have i'm
PEELED me to write this letter had you
not allowed your axe to fall so near home.
Among the heads that have recently
dropped into your basket is that of Rob
ert B. Nathan, postmaster at Azusa, Los
Angeles county, CAL, who was ap-
pointed about twenty-one months ago
by your predecessor, Don M. Dickinson.
The younger democrats and the leading
republicans stood sponsor for Mr.
Nathan as against the old-tim-
ers, represented by the post
master then in Office. Mr.. Ma
than's bondsmen were republicans,
ana W per cent. OF Clle patrons OF tne
office not long ago petitioned you for his
retention. He has made an exemplary
official, being an educated and honorable
man, well qualified for the position. In
the face of all this you have appointed
to succeed him a man who neither con-
tributed one dime nor uttered one word
for the success of our party, and it is a
question as to how he cast his last vote
Now, had it been necessary or even
expedient to have made change in our
office how much more excusable it would
have been had you appointed another
applicant, veteran and a grand army
brother of yours. This would, at least,
have been some mitigation for your
action, and there would have been some
semblance of party consistency in it.
All these facts were laid before you, but,
no doubt, in your great decapitation act
you have neither time nor inclination to
inquire into the separate merits of the diff
ferent applicants. All that seems to con-
Germ you is the fact that the head that
falls is democrats. If it was at the
dictation of our senile and Mexico
absorbing congressman, General Will
liam Vandever, that you gave your axe
an extra sharpening in order to aid that
legislator to obtain denomination, you
both have certainly counted without
Los Angeles herald., 1890-05-26
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING. MAY 26 $780,

your host, as even were that honor Sc
cured it would result in the election of a
democrat to succeed him.
If you will exercise your memory YOU
will find that it was this wholesale re-
moval of competent officials for factional
partisan purposes that gave birth to the
"mugwumps' and elected Cleveland,
comparatively unknown man, over
Americas greatest statesman, James G.
Blaine, in 1884. Now, l cannot believe.
although it is confidently asserted in
some quarters, that one so conscien-
tious as President Harrison elevated
you to your present position for the
purpose of doing the administration
dirty work, nor do | believe that your
promiscuous guillotining meets even the
approval of the head OF your depart
ment, as Mr.. Wanamaker has let it be
understood that he intends to carry out
the civil-sewice plank in our national
platform. The postmaster-general is an
honorable man, and the records
show that he, together with the
rest of the administration, has
thus far only availed himself of
two-nineteenths of the "public cribs"
while you have wallowed in the re-
mainder. As politician, when the
boot was on the other leg, you helped
denounce the Cleveland administration
for its disregard of civil service reform,
while now, in dead mems shoes, you
make such reform a mockery. "Oh.
consistency, thou art jewel"
Regardless of another tenet of the
party of Lincoln, viz, home rule, you
make appointments in conflict with the
wishes of republican constituents at
your own or political favorites' dictation.
Were the balance of the administration
guilty of such practices, it is question
whether the republican party would
ever survive another election. The
"bloody shirt" has lost it's efficacy as
battle standard, both parties are divided
on the tariff question, and there is no
other distinct issue before the people
than this one Of civil service reform.
How can we conscientiously ask the
support OF intelligent voters for another
trial when, through such self-seeking
officials as you, the records show us in
such black light even before this ad-
ministration has lived out half its term?
Have you no regard for the future sue
of those who with Flanagan, of
Texas, want to know "what we are here
for" and are making the best of it while
it lasts? AS 1892 is near, dear General,
it behooves you to 'look leedle out,'
or you may again be compelled to resort
to private life, as most of those whow
instrumental in elevating you and others
are by nature and choice best fitted.
Very respectfully,
HENRY G. ROBERTS.

goodly offering of the substantialities

Along at the further end of the evening
