which to them appears proper are dis
gruntled at his conduct, and but for the
fear that he may turn them down en-
tirely, would break out into omen re-
volt.
1t appears that Arthur is not as prompt
as ne might be in the selection of appi-
cantS Tor office. While senators from
other states are placing men in good pc
sltlons DAY after day; while Wolcott has
coltareu several important places for Col
orado goldbugs, Arthur is letting pro-
crastination get in its work and steal the
tlme OF those who yearn for the flesh
pots.
The faithful argue that unless some
thing is done and done soon there will be
no use IN trying to hold the party to-
gether for the fall elections in this CITY
and in Ogden, where it was hoped a firm
stand could be made, the scattered forces
collected in little punches and a fight, or
II nothlng else the appearance of a fight,
MADE Ihey say: Here we have fought
against heavy odds. Bearing the scars of
severe wounds received in battle with an
unnumbered host We stand the veterans of
a war which cost US dear. We main
tanned hopeless struggle on the left wing
and graDpled with the foe until we
couldnt rest. We howled and we howled
and hoWled again. And now when our

the eHort or mighty groans and shrieks.
we are left to sit and brood. while down

However Brown doesn't seem to care.
He knows he is all right. Advices re-
ceiVed from Washington are to the effect
that he IS master of the situation. OF
course Senator Rawlins is a Democrat,
and he doesn't cut much figure with the
administration, so far as the distribution
OF patronage goes, but neither does Frank

compared with Cannon. Brown IS the
man Mckinley has said so and so also
mas Hanna +, He has received letters to
that Brown shall rule. His word will be
the open sesame to all who expect to
pass through the portals of patronage. If
Dooly and Thomas and the balance want
anything they may get it, but they must
flrst consult Brown.
And so Lea waits and nerm,ts his ubis
