new sort of influence L. brought Ia bear
upon those who have neither Contrhu-

him Ia contribute and Ju come home fer
the election and Intlmatiug thHt II may
be dangerous Ia his official head not Ia

state Republican association do not hesi-
tate to openly say that they intend using
all the influence they Possess To- have
clerks from that stat, who refuse To- con
tribute and to vote dismissed.
Still the Civil Service Commission says
the, law Is not being violated Perhaps
not; bat it il being evaded on all sides,
If not violated
1t Is such a common thing To- find Re

in small political business that unless
the case is in some respect striking II ex-
cites little or no comment here. Atunr-
ney General Miller has occasionally
posed aS Il man who eudeavorS To keep
politics out of his official acts; but he
has, this week, been guilty of demand
ing, nay, compelling the resignation of
Democratic Judge of the Utah Su-
preme court, for no other. reason than
his pohtirs This too, in the face of
the unwrltten rule that judges of EerIto-
rial courts b allowed To- serve term of
four wears, unless they are guilty of ms
conduct and the fact that the term of
this judge. who was appointed shortly
before the close of the Cleveland admin
istra,ion. would have expired in a few
months anyway The depussd official
Judge T. !. Anderson, takes what he
considers his dismissal phiIosuphically.

Democrats. toy pointing out the fact that

worth striving for.
Washington Democrats have always
been noted for their enthusiastic cam
paigu work ard their liberal contrihu
ton Of time and cash To- the party. and
they are living right up to their rcputa
lIuu ti.i~ycar. The advisory committee
winch includes some of our most promi-
urut hs-iut~- nem. are hard at work and
determined that every Democratic voter
ln "a doubtful state who Is temporarily
residing iu Washington shall Toe sent

the Mary land Democratic club. # this
I city. and participated in 10y all Of the 10

There Is one happy Democratic mem
Der of the Washington Stock Exchange:
: he succeeded. after long search. in
finding Il Republican to cover his $500
wager that Cleveland would toe elected
That sort of Republican is scarce and
mighty hard to find just now
Democrats have every reason To be
pleased with the political news which
comes to this city, as il indicates that
the end Of Republican misrule is near
hand
The departments are all running with
ont heads tins week, and the most of
them will be in that condition until after
election, as nearly all of the cabinet
members will take the stump after lcav-
Chicago, where thy all are to-day.
