The Mugwumps. IL is true. arc support
ing Mr.. CLEVELAND under the impression
that he is civil services reforner.
Thus doth that willy shepherd beguile
those secly sheep. Who does by am
other does by himself, as any gentleman
can verify for himself by thumbing the
penultimate part OF any well-rcgulated
English dictionary: and every time that

publican cervicai region. smotc once and
smotc no more Ton that particular neck. the
eyes Of Mr.. CLEVELAND must be considered
to have been constructivcly present and
approving. and the voice OF Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND must DO considered to havo cried
| well done" Mr.. CLEVELAND may havo
been in theory, and may still lie In imaglna-
ton. q civil service rcformcr after the man
ner OF the Mugwumps: but the logic
OF facts and tho poetry Of dreams or
tho rhetoric OF speeches md letters are
often as far apart ns heaven and Chicago.
Mr. STEVENSON, as Nr. CLEvELANDs agent.
has pasted into the pumpkin OF everybody
except the distraught and doddcring Mug
wumps the fact that Mr.. CLEVELAND. too,

thought all alony that he was n civil service

CLEVELAND thinks that he has been a civil
