EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE: We rejoice
with the multitude in saying that the
recent appearance of the GLOBE is
hailed with the same sense Of salts
faction and relief as that which char
acterized the dropping spirits of the
Federal soldiery upon the arrival Of
Phil Sheridan on the field of Winches-
ter, when he was supposed to be twenty
miles away. Yes, the GLOBE fills a
long-felt want, and it's fearless advo-
cacy of the oppressed contingent of
Uncle Sans machine shops against
the petty tyranny of the well fed, well
groomed and overpaid autocrats who
rule and reign over them with such
imperious authority and slave driving
LegreetSm, is refreshing and reassur-
ing to the greatest extent. Why, the
first thing | thought of this blessed
Sabbath morning was the GLOBE, and
fastened to get copy, but the news.
boys had sold out before they reached
me. However after a great effort | at
last got one.
The first thing that hit me between
the eyes was the expose of the secret
Vaccinations of StTtb Auditor Castle
to belittle and impose upon the old
soldier element of his office by conspir-
ing with others to zig a pitfall or set
trap to catch the old boys in and
then feed them to the bloodthirsty ii.
gers, whose watering chops are anxi.
ously awaiting the time when they
can feast their gluttonous maws on
the carcasses Of the boys who saved
Washington City to the nation and
made it possible for these carniverous
barnacles to hold down a seat in Uncle
Sans machine shop. And yet, this
red-nosed pap-sucker from Minnesota
(Castle) poses as Grand Army man,
and seeks to be invited to speak for
them, but his style and force as an
orator is on such par with his rubi.
cund mug that he gets but few invita-
tions, and wouldn't get any if not
through official ickspittles, who cringe
and fawn on him for favors. McKin-
! ley made ID of mistake when he
elevated this cub to the Office he holds.
But, we will wait and watch for de.
| yelopments, and at the first sign of
disloyalty to the old boys in blue we
will go for that fellows scalp in a way
that will make that nose of his ap'
pear like a Gala lily as compared to
/ the red-hot fire that will be round and
about him as long as he disgraces the
Office he holds. All that will be nee.
| essary is to notify Gen. Robt. G.. Dy-
renforth, Of the U. V. US, and he will
/ take care of him. Mark that.
Now, Mr.. GLOBE, let us be fair about
this. Is it not fact that the most OF
| this TRADE against the eT-Union sol
der in the Departments has its con
ception and inspiration among the
| large guaranteed Democratic and er
Confederate element that was foist6d
into the public service for partisan
ends just prior to encircling the whole
business under cover of the civil ser
vice blanket, as was done by the cele
| brated order of ex-PTesident Cleve
land, when his party had been defeated
at the polls by the election of McKin
ley? This is capable of proof, for sc
| eager were the Hoke Smiths and 9th
ers to find places for their heelerS that
old soldiers were displaced to make
room for them and the bars put up tc
forever keep them out. This is nc
fairy tale, and Mckinley knows it, be
cause the fraud was so transparent
and the outrage so brazen that it was
supposed when Mckinley came into
his kingdom his first act would be IL
repeal that odious order, but he weak
ened or listened to the harlot and TO-
| day the chief clerkships and high sal
aried places in many of the executive
departments are filled by hold-oveI
! Democrats and ex-Confederates who
for purposes of their own, shut the
eyes of the Republican appointee
power and made it believe that salt
was sugar, honey was gall, and that
! they were and ARE REPUBLICANS. Oh
Lord how strikngly the similarity OF
metaphor as used by Blaine, when he
| fayed Conkling on the floor of the
U. S. House of Representatives years
| ago by that celebrated, sarcastic tar
bey gObbIer strut speech is suited tc
/ this case. "HgperiOn to a Sdtyr, Their
! iSteS to HerculeS mud to marble
dunOhiH to diamond, Stnged cat to q
Bengal tiger a tOhiniR0 puppy to q
roaring lion. Shade of the mighty
| Castle forgive the almost profanity OF
! that satire"
In speaking about this celebrated or.
| der of Cleveland's, which, as a whole
has never been revoked, how is it pos
sible for high officials to get their fam.
lilies quartered in good fat places un'
der the Government without having
| first passed an examination under the
| civil service and been properly GER
| titled to the Department from the eli
gible list? The reason why ask this
| is because | see that Second Assistant

looking customer, has a part Of his
| family nicely quartered on the Gov
ernment, and they never came through
the door Of the SHiUeI SerUice Arise
and explain, old William, by what
roundabout way you evaded the civil
service and landed your suckers. You
must have a good bait, good line and
good pole to operate your piscatorial
machine tUith so much success. Arise,
! | say. and unbosom yourself or It may
be the worse for you in the long run.
There is one thing certain, Mr.
| GLOBE. in regard to this soldier war
whoop on the part of certain would-be
reformerS in the Departments. II is
we'll known, as I said before, that
every Department is packed with ex-
Confederates. They will never get over
their Appomattox. They secretly hate
Union soldier as they do a rattle
snake, and the majority Of them will
follow the example of their illustrious
benefactor, Grover Cleveland, and 60
fishing on Memorial Day. Put a pin
here and note the eTodus. Go to Ar
lington and all the rebs you will find
there are under the sod. The Demo
Gratis in the Departments (and their
name is legion) are the half-brothers
of the rebS, and the two elements form
Joint Stock Combine to beat the
Union soldier, because they surmise
