thy. He will be awfully lonesome in
Mr.. Clevelauds cabinet. jour

Cleveland starts his administra-
ton with two animals to worry him
the tiger and the wildcat banks. s.-Cin-
cinnati Tribune.
Us The democrats are receiving the
Gresham appointment with an enthu-
siasm of profanity that has rarely been
surpassed. Louis Globe-Democrat,
rB- Democrats do not care upon what
grounds populists elect democrats to
the senate, SO they elect them. That is
why democratic legislatures are send
ing congratulations to the populist
states.-Kansas City Journal.

rH There is a class Of democratic
statesmen at Washing ton who always
proceed to the consideration of the
acts of an American minister or naval
officer with the assumption that he
must have been foolish or injudicious.

u So much is being said by the mug
wump papers about Judge Gresham's
official purity" that their readers are
forced to the conclusion that they re-
gard the eminent democrat whom Mr..
Cleveland might have selected as Of
ticially impure. Albany Journal.
President Cleveland's juiicious
announcement to democrats--one day
Bissell and the next day ''Hoke Smith"
reminds one of the tactics of the old
colored OK driver who announced the
decease of his oxen. He said: ''Massa,
old Buck is dead, and so is old Bright
/ was 'fraid to tell yon both at once,
feared you couldn't bore it"-Chicago

tB-It must be that Cleveland Is an
instrument in the hands of Providence
for the destruction of the democratic
party if there is anything in his report
ed remark that he will appoint no dem
ocrat who drew a salary under his pre-

that one term gives cannot be sun
dered from the politician till soul and

B-The Inauguration Of Cleveland
bids fair to illustrate anything but the
simplicity of the man whom the demo
Gratis are wont to proclaim as the fa-
ther of their party, jefferson. 1t is re-

that was before the days Of Tammany

trade. de.-Chicago Journal.

next secretary OF the interior will bs

states of the union at least, the ques.
ton will be asked: WHO is Hoke
smi th?'' Or is this merely some demo
cratic hocus-pocus? Is it fake of the
frowsy slate makers, who string the
variest buffers together merely to kill
time? No. Mr.. Cleveland himself
says he has given Hoke the interior
portfolio and Hokc has clasped it to
his manly bosom. 1t is said that Hoko
Smi tn discovered Mr. Cleveland for his
fellow citizens of Georgia He was
the original Cleveland man OF Georgia
as against Editor Howell, of the At
