CLEVELAND AND THE OFFICES.

There is beginning to be considerable
apprehension in the crowded ranks of
Democratic ofice-seekers. even here in
Maine, as to the purpose of the incoming
President-not so much about his ad-
ministrative policy, concerning which
they bother themselves but little, as
about the disposition he intends to make
Of the Offices. Symptoms exhibited Of a
recurring Difference to the Mugwumps
greatly disturb their peace of mind.
During the campaign they kept saying
to each other until they came to believe
it, that Cleveland learned something by
his former defeat, and will be better
party man hereafter Now horrid doubt
reigns once more in their breasts. Mr..
Cleveland, like the often-quoted Bour-
bon, seems to have learned nothing and
forgotten nothing. Were he new man
they might take heart by the experience
Of the Wings with Zachary Taylor, who
came into office filled with the idea that
merit and fitness were the proper and
only tests that should be required Of SUBJ
ordinates, and that politics should have
nothing to do with appointments. But
he soon permitted himself to be guided
by those more familiar with practical
politics. Thurlow Weed in his sRemi-
niscences'' relates that Taylor became
convinced that the significance of zeal
GUS and patriotic movement of the peo-
pie, which overthrow Democratic SUI
premacy, meant something more than
the election of Wing President and the
appointment of Wing cabinet" II did
not think it wise or just" Taylor him
self remarked, Ito kick away the ladder
by which I assembled to the Presidency
colonies, majors, captains, lieutenants.
sergeants and corporals are just as
necessary to success in politics as they
are to the discipline and efficiency Of an
army" On another occasion he inquired
Of the Secretary of the Treasury s'wheth-
er you think our friends are getting their
share of the oficesp'' The Secretary an
swered that he chad not thought of it in
that light ''Nor have Until recent "
rejoined the President; 'sbut if the
country is to be benefited by our services,
it seems to me that you and ought to
remember those to whose zeal. activity,
and influence we are indebted for places.
There are plenty of Wings, just as capa-
BILE and honest, and quite as deserving of
Office, as the Democrats who have held
them through two or three Presidential
terms. Rotation IN Office, provided good
men are appointed, is sound Republican
doctrine
It is not likely the colonies, majors,
and captains now seeking promotion
have any sound reason for fearing that
Mr.. Cleveland will keep Republicans in.
There is more ground for the apprehen-
sion that he will disregard the recon-
mendations of the party leaders in max
ing his appointments and, overlooking
the huge value that candidates put upon
themselves, be governed solely. by his
own likes and dislikes; that he will
build up personal rather than a party
following-which would be neither good
politics nor enlightened patriotism.

The New York Mugwumps are scream
ing at the tops of their voices that the
election of Mr.. Edward Murphy to sue
coed Senator Hiscock will be a ''blow to
Cleveland" In the Mugwump estima-
ton elbow to Cleveland" is the most
terrible disaster that can befal the coun-
try, with which nothing less than wide
spread earthquake or a general deluge is
comparable. Day after day they thunderit
forth that Murphy's election will be a
blow to Cleveland and their organs
scan scarcely find type large enough to
properly emphasize the blow. 1t is
curious fact however, that while these
1900 gentlemen flor that is about their
number according to the mathematical
calculation of the New York SUM are
wrought up to the frenzy pitch by the
awful disaster impending, the rest
of the million or two of voters remain
calm. All the shouting and all the big
type have failed to rouse them to the awful
nature of the coming catastrophe. Even
Mr.. Cleveland himself appears to be liv-
ing in blissful ignorance of the coming
calamity and its seriousness, inasmuoh

people who care to go and can pay a

Columbus, described in that fascinating
manner which makes Mr.. Butterworths

the author in the preface, is to prepare

who did not attend. The old time rally ring
was absent. There were only two occasions
when the spectators seemed to realize that
they were at a Democratic mass meeting and
they were when Lawyer Wadlinger took up
"Davy" Hill's slogan 81 am still a Democrat"
and when Frank spiese finished an anecdote
of the war.
Hand bills advocating the cause of Ryon,
the independent candidate for Judge, were
literally distributed about the hall and
pasted up on the walls and seemed to keep
down the spirit of the regulars when
Pershing's name was mentioned. There was
an unmistakable coolness when either Ryon
or Pershing were named. The sentiment
was divided and the spectators in the gallery
could easily distinguish the supporters of the
respective candidates when their names were
mentioned. The applause came out in spots.
OF course when candidate Kochs name was
mentioned there was no applause neither
was their any opposite expression of feeling.
Lawyer Nash paid the candidate as high a
compliment as could be paid him on a
Republican platform.
1t was half past eight before the Annuncia-
tion band appeared at the hall and set the
ball rolling by rendering some of its selec-
tons Then H. J. Muldoon called the
meeting to order. Squire Monaghan was
made chairman and Henry Knevels and
Frank Hanna secretaries. The chairman
read a long list of Vice Presidents, among
them being John A, Reilly, George Folmer
NJ. II. Master F. J. Portz, Charles Rad
ziewicz John ]. Bobbin, Christ Schmidt and
J. K. P. scheiay.
John A Nash, Esq, was the first speaker
He said he was not feeling well and this was
probably the case, as at no time did he get
worked up to his subject. Mr. Nash devoted
most of his remarks to Judge Pershing and
urged that he be supported by the Democrats
in preference to Ryon. He declared that
Pershing is not corporation Judge or that
he wears the collar of the Philadelphia and
Reading Company.
George J. Wadlinger, ESQ., was next in
troduced He praised the Democrats who
stood by him when he was candidate for
Judge last year, but emptied the vials of
wrath upon the heads of those who deserted
him. Though he fell outside the breast
works, wounded and bleeding, 81 am still a
Democrat" Mr.. Wadlinger spoke for some
minutes on the tariff issues, but only
touched upon the wild cat bank issue by
saying it was only subterfuge of the Re
publican party to frighten Democrats and
cause them to desert their party.
Frank spiese, of Tamaqua, was the next
and last speaker. He directed his remarks
to the tariff issues. He denounced the
Mckinley bill and declared that the free
trade arguments made by the Republican
party are unworthy of notice. He also
declared the claim that the Republican party
saved the Union was false one and that it
should not be considered. 1t was near II
O'Clock when Mr.. spiese concluded his
remarks and the meeting ad jouned.
