Indscent omos sesksrs,

Indecent once Seekers.
The spectacle Of Patrick Neary hust.
ling around, busily repairing his rickety
fences and putting Ia order his Clerk Of
the Peace boom. before the body Of
Governor Marvil was scarcely cold, was,
to say the least, one Of indecent haste
The same thing may be said Of the
other strikers for office who have be
come so active since 9 IS o'clock Monday
night Il is safe to say that Governor
Watson viii not demean himself by even
seriously considering the applications Of
these Hustlers and Bustlers.
What has Pae ever done. anyway, that
entities him to consideration He has
never won a victory He IS too smart to
even seek the nomination for any Office to
be bslloted for by the people Patrick you
have become very fat at the public crib
Don't you know when you have had
enoughl Can't you realize the fact that
the psople will have no more OF you'
Have you not sense enough left TO know
that Governor Watson win not blast his
administration by turning 1t over to
"Ringsters, Rosters aud Ruff ans"Y
Pat. you are wall fawer-a back
number You have outlived your use
fulness and the Democratic party knows
It. Now be a sensible man, and confne
yourself TO selling ssnd-Rnd renting
your houses to those for whom you have
secured political jobs
On this subject yesterdays Every
Evening has this to say
Governor Watson comes into power free
from hamptring obligations. No man OF
set Of men have any right 10 claim special
have the claim upuu him. Their claim is foI
good government, which can be secured by
the appointment OF the right kind Of men Il
office. - making appOintmentsit il Is wen TO be-.
w.re OF appointing q man who claims to be
able 20 use the Office for partisan advantage
We do not want the ON els used for partisan
advantage. We went them used solely foi
public advantage When an appointment Is
made for partisan advantage "a man put tn OF.
flee who will try 20 uee IL unfairly 20 hello one
party " hurt snqther- the Peep e ere quick 4
The result is that the public gets inferior
service and The party which was 20 be helped
u really hurt hy the appointment. We say
with emphasis. a. the beginning OF tht
Democratic administration. that nnf hiql
character. possessing the pnbllc confidence
and willing 60 serve the public with single
ness OF purpose, should be appointed 20 office
that such men can easily be found In IA,
Democratic party; aud that no trickster
rinester, or extra smart manlpulator should
be thought OF for public place.
We take it thar this was written fol
the especial benefit OF Patrick Neary
This time the Every Evening bas hit tbs
nail hard rap equarely on the head snt
then proceeds to drive It home, thus;
Governor Watson "a manifesting a nie,
appreciation Of the delicacyt OF his present
situation. While the late Rovernor's bod
awaits the last rites. his successor win MOI
guhernatorial power. He Will not even ap
pnin asecreiary Oi state until after Governor
Marvil'e funeral.
The proptiety of Governor WataOu's atu
tude Is Ia sharp contrast wi IA the indecent
haste It'll which ume applicants have an
nnunccd their greed. No Democrat had aul
excuse for ofce-hnnger during Governoi
Msryil's life; hut his death made a greA
change In their prospects
