Some Fine Tinkering by Three Great
Workmen.
No doubt by this time President
Harrison has discovered that it is of no
further political use to ask of his Sec
rotary at Bar Harbor the scriptura1
questions: cart thou in health, my
brother?'
For an ailing candidate the magnetic
man makes dreadfully healthy rival.
The invalidation play on the part of
the administration is over. 1t has
found it as impossible to repress the
Blaine impulse with the fiction of
physical and mental incapacity as it is
to start Harrison boom on the basis
of the presidential speeches made on
the continental itinerary.
But it is the wheel within the wheel
that causes the present peculiar whirr
in republican politics The Quay.
Clarkson and Dudley triumvirate is a
piece of machinery beyond Harrison's
operating skill. 1t puzzles him ex-
tremely. He finds he has got some
thing more on his hands than a case of
carefully diagnosed invalidism-
The national executive committee
can hardly be subjected to the treat
ment of Industrious rumors of sick
ness. It is a machine that is not af-
hicted with Bright disease of mental
malady. 1t is a very robust and rug
ged body of men. and the only trouble
with its pulse is that it does not beat
for Harrison.
The irony of it all is to be found in
any contemplation of the party cham
pionship OF civil service reform and
such like virtuous schemes of Office
holding. Clarkson's fine work on pres
idential candidates is study in the
line Of political completely and manip-
ulation- And Dudley and Quay have

THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE.

gressiye Americans.
That the democratic party is essential
~ the party OF the people has teen
shown in various ways, by the enact-
ment of popular measures, by judi
cious economy in administration, and
by furthering such new reforms as
may benefit the people. 1t has on two
notable occasions voiced a prevailing
public sentiment which is lik Ely to
take practical shape in time in con-
stitutional amendment, the election OF
United States senators directly by the
people. Gen. Palmer was nominated
for senator at the democratic state
convention of Illinois, and to the firm
stand taken by that convention is
largely due the election of such a ster-
ling democrat. The Maryland demo-
cratic convention took like course in
unanimously nominating Senator Cor
man for the position he now so ably
fills. In both cases the sentiment of the
party in very important direction was
clearly and unequivocally expressed,
and no excuse left for legislative deals
or auctions. BY this means the demo-
cratic party avoids what might prove a
source of scandal and bitterness. The
legislative auction which in many
states precedes the election of United
States senator is one of the most OBJ
noXious features of our political sys-
tenn. A state convention is much near
er the people than the average legis-
1ature, and in the absence of such a de-
sirable reform as the direct election OF
| senator's, this democratic plan of a
nomination in convention is most adj
mirable one. Had it been tried in this
state some years ago. Mr.. Evarts OF
Mr.. Hiscock would never have gone to
Washington. Neither would Quay OF
Cameron have succeeded in Pennsyl-
vania without hard struggle. The
democratic method is deadly blow at
| the Infamous legislative auction, and
should be demanded by the people in
every instance.-Albany Argus.

How the Harrison Administration Runs

How the Harrison Administration Runs
the Treasury.
Secretary Fosters statement Of the
public debt and of the cash in the treas
ury for the month of July, 1884," is UNI
doubtedly a dishonest document in
that it is carefully calculated to con-
ceal and not to show the real condition
of the treasury. In the first place Mr..
Foster has deliberately suppressed q
debt item of S54, 207, 975.75 which was
included in Mr.. WINDOWS statements
He has then placed to the credit of the
available cash 500, 000, 900 collateral
against which paper notes are in circu-
lation. And after half . dozen minor
charges, all calculated to the same end,
he makes this comparative summary:
