Grover Cleveland had an immense
amount of patronage to give to his
Democratic friends. But Wilson will
have much more. The Government has
grown greatly since the Cleveland days.
Many believe, however, that Wilson
will take refuge behind the civil scrv-
ice lust as far as possible. As to minor
Offices, they expect him to replace Re-
publicans with Democrats as the terms
OF incumbents expire. but not to be
in a rush about II. Only In the case

to either demand. though there will

so as to the postoffices In the South.

That's what Woodrow Wilson. as
President OF the United States. will
have on the White House counter to
dispense to hungry Democrats. And
they were never so hungry or so insls-
tent az now. even in the days when they
made the life OF Grover Cleveland mis-
crable
Already the rush of job hunters and
office seekers to Washington has begun.
Each train brings in some lean speci-
men looking for piece OF Government
pork Each mail brings in It's scores
OF applications for jobs. In fact, long
before the election the stampede of the
Democratic place hunters had begun.
and they were out trying to exact prom
ises of future political rewards In case
Wilson was elected and Congress be-
came Democratic.
One of the reasons Governor Wilson
has gone to the Bermudas Is to escape
the press of Job hunters who arc going
to make his existence intolerable Just
as far as they can between now and
next spring.

As President Governor Wilson Is not
expected to return TO the spoils system
by any manner of means. lie is eX-
.. cted to adhere strictly to the require
ments Of the civil service. Still. he Is
going to be put in most trying posi-

adhered to, he will still have enormous
patronage to dispense.

GENERAL LAW TO WRITE
HIS MILITARY MEMOIRS.

Major General E. NJ. Law, editor
of the Barlow Courier-lnformant'
and one of the most famous living
Confederate warriors. will shortly
begin writing memoirs OF the dark
and bloody days OF the sixties. which
will be replete with interesting his
tory of the great struggle and incl
dents Of life. That these memoirs
will be in great demand throughout
the country is certain, az General
Law was not only leader in many
Of the big battles. but is brilliant
writer and student of history.
General Law is one Of the three
living major generals Of the Confed-
crate army, the others being Gen.
eral Lomax and Gen. Gusts Lee. and
he saw more service than either OF
these soldiers. He is the highest
ranking officer living on either side
in the battles of Gettysburg and
Chickamaugua, and his name Is
prominently mentioned in a large
NUN Der of memorable struggles. He
was one of the most daring cavalry
officers of the service, which doubt
less boasted of a larger number Of
cavalry marvels than even the
armies of Napoleon.
General Law seldom refers to his
part in the great drama, but he de-
lights in "reminiscences Of the old
days. In talking with Metropolis
reporter yesterday he referred to his
meeting with Gen. Daniel E. Sickles.
an aged major general of the Union
army, at one Of the recent meetings
Of the Gettysburg park commission.
In the charge on Little Round
Top" said General Law, II led d.
vision against General Sickles and
carried the point. General Sickles
was so badly wounded in attempt
ing to repulse that charge that one
OF his legs had to be amputated. l
