The Postmaster Difficulty.

There seems to be a way devised
by which postmasters may be ap-
pointed satisfactorily to all par
ties. The various congressman
throughout the states have sugges
ted that primaries be held IN all
cities having population of 90
600 or less and that the patrons of
the Office vote for their choice for
postmaster. The candidate re-
ceiving the greatest number OF
votes, provided he be democrat,
shall be recommended by the con-
eressmen of the district for the
appointment. This would relieve
the congressman of a great re-
sponsibility, for every congress
man has a number of warm friends,
men who worked faithfully for
their election, and it is frequently
difficult for them to make a choice.
We understand that this arrange
ment is being talked of in Hanni-
bal and meets with general appro-
baton. Such a plan is fair for
all candidates and gives the
patrons of the office an opportun-
ity to express their sentiments

Mr.. Cleyeland will be a private,
citizen until the Fourth of next
March, but his will is nevertheless
regarded as law by the democrats
in the present Congress, and they
are at this very moment waiting
TO learn his pleasure before decid-
ing upon their programme for
the session, and shaking and qulv-
ering for fear that some of them
may be selected as the victim of
the great mans enmity, as was
Speaker Crisp at the Reform Club
banquet, in New York, Saturday
night-a most shameful and dis
graceful thing it was too, on the
part of MIR. Cleveland's friends.
Senators German, Brice, and Car
Isle, who went TO New York os-
tensibly to consult with members
of the democratic National Com
mittee concerning the Senstorial
situation in states in which the
control of the legislatures are still
in doubt, really went there to get
Mr.. Cleveland's ideas of what leg |

the democrats OF the House and
Senate to be held in few days.
Mr.. Cleveland's New York he
form Club speech is being care
fully studied by those democrats
who are anxious 10 stand well
with the future dispenser of fed
eral patronage, and some of them
profess to be able to read between
the lines of that speech, which is
facetiously referred to here as
"Clevelsnd's first message, more
than can be seen by ordinary peo-
pie.
The democrats are divided or
the Senatorial question. The
radical tariff smashers who claim
Mr.. Cleveland Rs one of their
number, are in favor of resoriing
to extraordinary methods to OBJ
tain control of the Senate in the
next Congress, while those who
make loud professions Of intended
tariff reform without really in
tending to make any radical
changes in the tariff sy stem of the
country, under the leadership of
Senator Hill in the Senate and of
Speaker Crisp aud Representative
Springer in the House, hope that
al the doubtful legislatures will
send republican Senators, thus
preventing the democrats control
ing the Senate and giving them
an excuse for not carry lpg out
their campaign promises. Meth
er faction wants to see any more
third party Senators elected.
While probably a majority of the
prominent republicans in Congress
would rather see the democrats
control the Senate there Is no dis
| position to help them elect Sena-
.ors. An important conference of
