lNplEA>ANT Comment.
vi course, there is more or less
unpleasant comment induced in
here regarding the increased Re
publican vote in Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania. The administration
has been particularly kind to VI ASIA
ch0aet.s and Pennsylvania, as il.
has also been to New York in GER.
tain direction. New York has two
members Of the Cabinet, an Assist
ant Secretary Of the Treasury and
other very conspicuous and infu.
entail politicians, exclusive If the
President himself Massachusetts
has member of the Cabinet, an
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
and until quite recently, and while
the patronage of the department
was being disturbed, an Assistant
Secretary of State.
1t is said that Massachusetts has
received As appointments in the
consular service, while the great
Democratic state of Missouri has
had to content itself with four,
Texas with two and Louisiana with
three. The coddling Of Massa-
chussetts by the president started
soon after his inauguration. lie
believed, and his friends believed,
it would result in making Massa-.
chusetts Democratic state.
LABOR LOST.
\ Yesterdays election, taking into
account the amount of patronage
that Massachusetts, has received
(which is equal in amount, per.
haps, to about a to for every
other state and more than 40 to /
for some of the states) is bound, az
will be seen, to suggest ita own
comments 1t created apathy else
where.
Then, again, Mr.. Cleyeland's
treatment of his friends has not
been what might have been ex-
pected. His enemies have been
coaxed with offices and patronage TO
moderate their views and to make
: them abstain from extreme actions
in their opposition to him; but the
, friends, who burned their bridges
behind them, who stood by him
manfully all the time, have been
cut off with shilling, or entirely
ignored. The theoretic statesm man.
or student of politics will be apt to
say that the patronage of an ad.
ministration or government ought
not to have any serious effect on the
people when registering their will
az popular election.
But, nevertheless, it s true that
it is the American principle that the
party in power should treat its
friends respectfully and favorably,
and make very wide distinction In
its treatment of its friends and its
enemies, at least.
REPUBLICANS STILL IN OFFICE.
1t is asserted that there are So.
600 Republican postmssters yet in
the service of the government, and
of course they are working for Re
publican interests in off Last
night while the returns were being
bulletined in front of the office OF
the Washington Post in this city,
in the presence of about 5000 peo-
pie, nine.tenths of whom were EN-.
ployes of the executive depart,
ments, every announcement Of a
Republican victory was received
with hilarious applause. The air
was filled with Republican cheers.
Democrats believe that if these Re-
publicans were sent home and Dem,
ocrats put in their places il the
departments, not only would the
Democrats al home have been more
encouraged, but certainly the Re.
publicans here would not be in such
high glee.
The same thing is observable to,
day. AS The Republic correspond.
