The friends of Mr. Kenton and of Mr. Watts are respectively, ac tively engaged in promoting the interest of their candidates. Complicating matters still morc,a new candidate appears in the field in the person of Mr. Alfred Wheeler. It may be, gentlemen, that Mr. Harrison will conceive it to be his duty to follow out his implied pledge that he would apply the spirit and purpose of the civi 1 service law in making all executive appointments 'o the end that the dangers to free institutions, which lurk in the power of official patronage may be wisely and effectually avoideded. In which case Mr. Thompson the present incum bent would be permitted to serve his term out. It is to be hoped that Mr. Harrison will follow this course.at least to the extent that President Cleveland has, not because it would retain some democrats in office, but in order to break up the unseemly scramble for office following each presidential election.
