DC D 0 march 13 FrOm from our re regular gular correspondent one of the most difficult roles ever attempted by a public man is that ot of setting himself up as being better than ins ilia party this the friends of mr cleveland have persist antly dono done for him e over yer bin bince cebis ina entrance into national politics tind wid the of hie his worshipers about ins iris having refused to make one single promise during the last campaign haie been louder than ever bince hie ills laet last inauguration well the idol has been ehat cerad and in in view of the whole world one of the moat most prominent nominations to office ha lie haa has made governor ex go aci nor gray of indiana to be minister to mexico waa was the result of a bargain made at the tire chicago convention by ilond 0 whitney of now aorl the terme terms of thu this bargain vere were gover tover nor graybas Gr gray aywas was to withdraw as 1 presidential candidate and throw the tire indiana delegation to ar mr

cleveland just ars u any other politician would have earned carried it out and arid it is about time there was a cessation of the tile talk about ills being bein better than hia his pirty party mr cleveland in genius method of knocking the army of office lico seekers out by sections cc tio is as ao it were 0 shows that lie is is a wiser wise r man than when lie was pre president aident before and liae haij furnished no end of for riot after office as well w ell aa as for the ollice office seekers not in in the prescribed sections first he lie disposed of the 8 action that viero were utter the offic edicer held under four veara years commission by telling them that no llo official would bo be removed until the expiration of hia his term except for bauke next lie jumped on oil the eviction that held office under hia ilia f arst administration nearly all of whom I 1 were here ready and and i I 1 ling not riot to eay say anxious to again affix their to the official acain pay roll b by telling them I 1 that none 0 of them v receive an appointment it were in some ex I 1 I 1 case aher special tiona were demanded that were noi riot pose possessed essed by any new applicant agli L cant and his last knockout knock out wa was a erected at the democratic editors who are hankering after the tile official flesh pots hie ilia words on oil this subject are herewith quoted for the especial benefit of the editors of your democratic contern contemporaries odaries or aries who might otherwise make tf the mistake of ting an all office 1 I have been surprised prise d said aid mr cleveland to a congressman who called on him in I 1 the interest of a de democratic mo cratic journalist to notice tile very large number of newspaper n who have biale application for office I 1 remember that during the recent campaign and in fact during almost the whole of the last administration the democratic newspapers pers charged chatin the appointments oi of whitelaw reid and other journalists mr IJ arrison was attempting to subsidize the press bova dont you eee see that I 1 should be laying myself open to precisely the same samo charges if I 1 were to honor kronor the drafts made on me nic by newspaper newspapermen men I 1 do not like the idea either which the editors of little democratic papery all over alie country seem to have that they thoy aro are entitled to tho the office kofl ice of postmaster in their town I 1 those close to tire administration say ay wat the withdrawal of th the e Ilaw hawaiian alian annexation treaty from the not indicate that mr cleveland is opposed to annexation they say ray that lie thinks a more satisfactory treaty can call ben be negotiated agoti abed and they pred predict ic t that tile now treaty will be negotiated and sent to the tie I 1 senate before befort ti alie i e pres present ent extra session congem to a close in n other words if these gentlemen be correct in their statements the principal objection to the treaty was that it wae was negotiated by a Ile republican publican instead of by a democratic administration I 1 tho the democrats may nay not be inclined to favor the makers of moonshine anshine On shine whiskey but olli official cial figures show that mr lur first administration collected lees from internal re revenue vertle than the 06 administration of president arthur did aud lese less than waa was collected during president administration this was a little queer want it representative henderson Hend ereon of iowa rr predicts edicts that the fifty second congress will godown to posterity nothing and nothing do congress and indications are plenty that the F fifty third congress which will bo controlled by democrats in both branches will rival if not surpass it in know nothing and do nothing there lias has been a red real hot liot although not a public fight over the re tion of the senate it ie Is not entirely over oyer yet but it is gone far enough to 15 show how that mr ir cleveland hae has been defeated in his attempt t to have 0 the 10 committee on finance madeep in the interest of his ilia own financial ideas and against silver senator vortices a R pronounced silver man rilan jwill will be its chairman 50 air and a maj majority of 0 its members will be ilver silver men |
