The Gazette says Ernest Hughes, the
boy hurt by the cars last week, was
stealing a ride. James r. Hughes,
father Of the boy, is emphatic in his as.
sertion that such was not the case. The
presence of the boy on the cars was
known to the crew, and he was there
with their consent. Mr.. Hughes doesn't
admire the Gasetts's reckless disregard Of
facts, and thinks its editor might exert
himself little more to get at the truth,
and add reliability to his statements.

The hypocrisy of Democratic Civil
Service pretenses is plainly illustrated
in the Custom House department. In
Cincinnati, for instance, the old and ex.
pert employees were hustled out because
of their politics. And, hardly are the
new, inexperienced hands in their
places, than Grover, because of their
politics, takes advantage of what was
supposed to te non-ro olitical act, to
seat them in their places for life. Prob
ably, not one of them could undergo q
civil service examination. But that
makes no difference. They're Demo.
Gratis, and he puts them in regardless.
