Hoe The ogans' nWneets 90 Woun'."

Here is striking illustration OF the ma
licious determination Of the Republican
press TO blindy condemn everything and
everybody connected with the Democratic
Administration.
A few days after the announcement; OF the
designation of Mr.. Wilson to succeed Mr.
Bissell as Postmaster General there were two
or three removals aud appointments in the
Postoilice Department which cau,ed consid-
cradle commoli0n in the Tin thunder and
red fire departments of our Republican con-
temporaries. Mr.. Wilson, being an educa-
ted, intelligent and high-minded Democrat,
has never been a fayorite with the Republi
can partisans, and his prominence as Chair
man of the ways and means committee IN
securing the repeal of the Mckinley act
greatly increased their hostility toward him.
They manifested this in most contemplate
manner on the occasion of his visit to Eng
land, aud they have constantly given vent
to their petty venom.
And so after the news of his appointment
as Postmaster. General, the Republican or
gans seized upon the above mentioned acts
of the Postolfice Department, which they
heralded as evidence Of the unworthiness OF
the new Postmaster General and they serv'
ed out denunciatOns aud epithets, and sar-
casms and civil service sermons at Mr.. Will
sons expense until their readers if they be-
lieving them at all, must have thought that
the Postoiice Department had suddenly be-
come the most shameless bureau of spoils
and corruption. 1t was not that the organs
loved Mr.. Bi.sell, but that they hated more
Mr.. Wilson, whose career as Democrat
had been more active aud conspicuous than
that of the New Yorker Besides, Mr.. Bis
sells day as Cabinet officer was over,
while Mr.. Wilson's was just beginning.
However, the animus methods of such
partisan journalism are amusingly apparent
in the light of the fact that Mr.. Wilson has
never yet assumed the duties of Postmaster
General, aud that Mr.. Bssell is still i'll
charge of the Office = Courier Journal.
