as an independent. In all instances the
votes cast for Scanlan as democratic

A special from Washington to the
Minneapolis Tribune comments as fol-
lows on the probable attitude Of Grover
Cleveland toward the thousands Of
office seekers who will besiege him after
the Fourth of next March: when
Grover Cleveland was president he re-
fused TO remove republican officials and
as a rule allowed them to serve out their
terms. Near the close of his admin
istration he became more partisan and
tried to make good his standing with
the party, but he evidently did this
from policy only and not from desire.
II comes pretty straight now that Cleve-
land will make his second term such an
advance OH his first in the way of being
non-partisan as to make the average
democrat sick at heart Not only will
he refuse to remove republican officials,
but it is declared that in cases where
incumbents have not been too active
politically and have faithfully discharg-
ed their duties, they are likely to be re-
appointed. He has an ambition to do
something never attempted yet by
president, viz to be above party spirit
and rancour and send his name down
to posteritv as the one man who was
president of all parties and not the
special patronage-dispenser of any. So
far as his political future is concerned
there are no further honors to obtain.
When he goes from the White House
he goes into retirement. He has said
in the last week to few disguised au-
di.ors, through whom the remark has
leaked out, that he was elected by re-
publican votes, as of course he must
have been, and that he is not going to
offend the men who thus supported
him. by acts OF offensive partisanship.
Your leading democrats said couldn't
carry New York, said Mr.. Cleveland,
but did, and carried it because re-
publicans had confidence that / would
be the president of the whole country.
l am not going to forget this Mr..
Cleyeland's cabinet will be made up on
this line. No man will have a place in
it who does not already or will not at
the time subscribe to these views.
There will be early changes in the exc
cutive heads of departments, etc, bnt
the boys who are waiting for the great
majority of Offices are likely to starve to
death before they get bite"

statement of the case starts out with the
denial of two assertions from Pattison
circles, namely, that Pattison's name was
not presented, first, on account OF the
loyalty of Pattison to Cleveland, and
second, because Pattison's nomination
could only have come from the Cleve-
land men. 1t combats this attitude
by amplifying in detail the as
sertions that Pattison thought only
OF his own chances; that the
anti-Pattison people skillfully drew Mr.
Harrity into such pledges to Cleveland
that he could not so back on them; that
there was opportunity to have brought
Pattison into the field by a combination
with the anti-Cleveland forces, and to
have secured large neutral elements; and
finally that magnificent chance for
pennsylvania was thrown away by the
failure to improve the opportunities to
put the Governor in the field.
Somehow when these assertions are put
In bold juxtapositjon, instead of being
amplified in a columns space, they sug-
gest slight inconsistencies except as en-
phasizing the fact that the Pattison men
did stick to Cleveland in spite of all tempta-
tions. But such inconsistencies are moth
ing to the active element which before the
State convention raised the alarm that the
Pattison forces could not be trusted to
stick to Cleveland, and at the National
convention INDUCED in vociferous kicks
because they did so.

THE OUTLOOK IN ENGLAND.

The returns from the boroughs in the
English elections so far as received show
Liberal gains, though not all that the san
guine among that party have hoped for.
In the 1O4 elections reported up to yester-
day afternoon the Liberals had gained II
seats, the Conservatives 2, and the Liberal
Unionists l. The net Liberal gain there
fore is 8, without any of the elections of
this week included in the returns.
The Tory organs discover in these re-
turns the fact that the same ratio of gain
will not give the Liberals majority,
while the Liberals declare that they only
leave the question as to what the majority
shall be. 1t is true that gain of but s
per cent on the total would not give Home
Rule a majority in the House of Com
mons; but against that is the fact that the
boroughs reported constitute in most
cases the strength of the Conservative
party Of the 1O4, only 80 elected Liber-
al members in 1886. A more reliable basis
of calculation is afforded by the vote as
majorities These show that the Liberal
majorities have bee. restored about as
they existed in 1885, when Gladstone Sc
cured control in the House of Commons
that was only broken by the detection as
the Liberal Unionists.
1t is probable that the actual result will
be somewhere between the presentations
of the Tories and the Liberals, or a fair
working majority, but not very large
one, for the friends of Home Rule.

TWELVE PAGES
THE SILVER FIGHT.

The silver battle was renewed in the
House yesterday by fight over the re-
ference of the Senate bill which threatens
to arrest business indefinitely. The lead
ers in the struggle, which was most ef-
fective in breaking quorum on the votes
for reference, were the anti-silver Demo-
Gratis from the East, who are using every
means to prevent the fastening on their
party of the burden of free silver coinage
So far as the Republicans are concerned
they are quite justified in keeping out of
the fight. They can well afford to let the
bill pass both branches, and be vetoed by
the President, thus making the stand of
the Republican party on that question
clear and indisputable. As this will
probably be the result of the struggle in
any event, it seems as if the desperate
fight of the anti-silver Democrats is wasted
energy.
The most salient aspect of such fight
is its illustration of the ineficiency of po-
litical methods existing when measure
favored by an overwhelming majority Of
the members, cannot command quorum
even on the vote to refer it to a commit
fee

BELLAMYISM AT OMAHA,

The nomination of General Weaver by
the Peoples party gives that organization
the status of revival of the Greenback-
Labor party of the later 7O's with the ad-
dition of weak infusion of Bellamy ma
tionalism.
The character, as well as fate, of the
softmoney political movement was suffi-
ciently determined in 1876 and 1873 The
status of Bellamyism as new principle
on which to appeal for popular approval
is newer thing. Owing to the extremely
hazy nature of its propositions there might
be some question as to the public estimate
of it, if its enthusiastic supporters of these
principles had not furnished character
ization which gives full ground for pop
ular judgment
At meeting of the especial admirers of
the Bellamy cult at Omaha on Sunday,
prior to the action of the convention,
there was general glorifcation of So
cialism as the coming political power.
Not satisfied with this, the meeting fur
nished the following indication of the
character of Bellamyism:
Mr.. Cox, of Illinois. said that in 1879 the
Nationalists were known as Anarchists.
Now the movement had become known by a
different name, but the only difference was
that the two organizations did not dot their
"I's" and cross their ''Ts" in exactly the
same style. The principle taught By the

GOVERNMENTAL PATRONAGE.

The French newspapers are disclosing a
troublesome feature In French politics,
closely akin to one which is prominent in
our own nation, by their cynical comments
on the Interpolation of Deputy against
the 'abuse of solicitations for office re-
ceived from the electors by the Deputies
and transmitted by them to the Minis
ters" Figaro, which journal is by no
means friendly to the republic, asks what
chance of reelection the Deputy would
have who should refuse to recommend a
constituent to office on the ground that he
was unfit for it, and asserts that the cleo
tor considers the Deputy in debt for an Of
fee and the republic to be government
for the people in the sense that it is to fur
nish offices for as many of them as pos
sible.
While there is undoubtedly too much
foundation for these assertions that spoils
politics prevail in the French republic as
in our own, the reproach Of an organ
affected to ward the monarchical system
on this score is peculiarly insincere. The
trading in offices by deputies as the price
Of their loyalty to the Government, the
distribution of patronage solely on &C
count of political support, and the general
corruption and servility of political mo-
tives that accompanies such system were
ten fold worse under the Empire and
monarchy than under the Republic.
The rule of Louis Napoleon was prob
ably the most corrupt that France has
known in the present century; yet the
portrayal of political life under the Bour-
bon and Orleans dynasties, by Balzac,
who was royalist by political faith,
proves how utterly such systems are
swayed by the motives of favoritism and
servility. While the two republics of the
world make open complaint of their
spoilsmen, it is the fact that the use of
governmental patronage for reward or
punishment is worse in every monarchy of
the world than under republican govern
menL The exception of England does
not count against the rule, for England is,
except for the empty title, as clearly self
governed as the United States or France
The republics should strive to abolish
the evils of spoils politics for their own
sake, and for the elevation of their politi-
cal system. But monarchists who sneer
at republican government for this evil, do
so in spite of the fact that monarchy is
worse in that respect, as in many Others.

A Soldiers Wife's Plea.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
find the following in recent paper:
"Philip Bullion, an old and impecunious SOL
dier, has been for more than two years in
Jail for debt in Elkhart, Ind. The debt for
which he is imprisoned originated in store
bill contracted by his wife, to pay which he
borrowed money and gave his note. He is
sentenced to remain in prison until the debt
is paid"
If tits true it is q disgrace to the American
people. Talk about Andersonville and
Castle Thunder and then think of an old SOL
dfer two years in Jail for debt.
If the Door old man was only dead he
might to-day have some posies on his grave,
or big costly monument which the Presi-
dent, his fellow citizen. would make a long
journey to dedicate
Till that old man is released from Jail let
nobody have the cheek to say "old soldier
or talk about his virtues. All this talk of
love and sympathy for the war-worn vet
eran should be hushed while one of them
Ianguishes in prison Tor debt.
