CABINET CRITICISMS.
Democratic Dissatisfaction with CIevc-
lands Selections.


1t is probably true, as reported, that
the object of Carllsle's latest visit to
Lakewood was not to talk with Cleve-
and about the silver issue, but
to tell him how much profane Ian
guage is coming from democratic
mouths with regard to his cabinet Sc
lcctions. This eruption of adverse criti-
cism does not all get into the newspa-
pers-there is not room in them for the
half of it-and so Cleveland does not
know as much about it as those who
mingle with the crowd and listen to
the swearing. When Carlisle was named
for secretary of the treasury, the demo-
Gratis were we'll pleased, as they had a
right to be, and they naturally ex-
pected that the standard of merit thus
indicated would be maintained in the
choosing of his associates. But. to their
surprise and chagrin, they soon learned
that he was to be the only recognized
party leader in the cabinet. AS the
other names were announced one after
another, the process represented a
gradual decline in point of ability and
reputation. The place of first dignity
and Importance was given to man
who never voted the democratic ticket
until last fall. Two personal cronies
from New York were neyt added to
the list. Then an unknown person was
taken from Georgia; then a second-ratc
Nebraska politician out of a job was
chosen: and finally the two remaining
places go to two undistinguished indi-
viduals hailing respectively from
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
The democrat who can contemplate
such distribution Of the most impor-
tant prizes in the gift of the president
elect without feeling Of decided dis
pleasure certainly does not care much
for the honor and welfare of his party.
1t is easy to see that the cabinet has
not been constructed with view to
those who had right to suppose that
their wishes and sentiments would be
respected in the matter. A majority
of the appointees are from republican
states. and their average stature as
public men is below that Of any former
cabinet in the history of the country.
All of the recognized democratic lead
ers, with single exception, have been
Systematically and superciliously ex-
cluded. There is no intimation in the
case thaSJEleveland considers himself
under any obligation to his party, or
cares cent what it thinks about his
cabinet. He has evidently made up
his mind to have a personal admins
tration, and to play the boss in the full
sense of the term. 1t remains to
be seen how much trouble he will en-
counter in carrying out such a theory.
He surely cannot escape large measure
of resistance. There is not enough ad-
vantage in the patronage to protect
him against the opposition that he is
inviting, and he will find that his per-
sonality alone is not sufficient to
counteract the widespread dissatisfac-
tion that IS to be anticipated if he pro-
poses TO continue the policy with
which he has started Louis Globe
