For low, contemptible, mean, political
tricks, commend us to the Oirgoiuan. In
yesterdays issue of that paper a dispatch
irom Columbus Ohio was published tell
ing of Bricc and Thomas, both csndidates
for United Slates Senator, and both demo
crats, establishing their headquarters in
that city, to be read for the legislature
that convenes there to-day. The Uregoni
an makes its own headings for its dispatch
csand it lieaduJ the dispatch above re.
ferrcd to as follows: "Two Barrels Open
ed. Bricc and Thomas Establish Sa
loons i.i Columbus.'' The evident pur
pose of that paper was to belittle the char
acter of these two gentleman In public es
timation for there was not a word said a
bout saloons in i.he dispatch. Another
dispatch tells of Gorman's opposition to
the Australian system of voting. That
paper heads this dispatch: "Honest Boss
Gorman. Fair Election Means Demo
cratic Defeat, He Says." Now Gorman
aid nothing of the kind and even the as
soclated press reporter had not the gall to
say it. The Orrgaulan with I'.s accus
tomed unfairness was the author of both
falsehoods.
1 he lynching by w hite men of eight negroes
confined in jail at Barnwell South Carolina
charged with murder, was no less criminal
than the crime committed by the negroes.
The authorities of that s!ate should spare no
fains nor expense in ferreting out these lynch
ers and punching them. These negroes,
though murderers, had the same tight to a
f.iir trial by a jury of their pc?rs as white men
have.

In his letter of acceptance, Harrison
said: "Only the interests of the public
seivice should suggest removals from of
fice "
And yet, thousand-, of removals of fed
eral officials have been made by Harrison
because those removed are dtmocrats, and
jjr no other reason, and their places have
been f:'.led by republicans, because they
are republicans, and for na other
reason. But the president's friends say
that Cleveland removed as many republi
cans as he has democrats. If this state
ment were true, it is in no sense any ex
cuse for the president to violate, with im
punity, one of the plainest and most
straight-forward pledges that he ever
made. Harrison made his pledge with a
full knowledge of all Cleveland had done
His pledge was, that, notwithstanding all
the removals Cleveland may have made,
he, himseif, would follow the rule that
only the interest of the public service
should suggest remo.als from office." In
view of this pie ige, when Harrion's mer
ciless guillotine falls upon the head of
some devoted demociat, and he is removed,
the public will conclude at once that he
was removed for cause other than a po
litical one, for the president stands open
ly pledged to make removals only when
the public service suggests it. This is an
outrage upon every democrat removed,
for he is thus compelled to go out under
a cloud, though he may have been the
most faithful and pains taking official.
This complaint does not go to the cases
where democrats are out for political rea
sons when that is assigned as the reasons.
If republicans want the offices for political
reasons let them say so openly and can
didly and few will be theoLjections to their
taking them. Does any one suppose that
the efficient, able, and cultured Judge Mc
Arthur should give up the office of United
States District Attorney to be succeeded by
a man almost unknown to the public, or
that John Myers should give up the mar
snails office, or that 11 Abrahams should
be turned out of the office of collector of
customs, or that Ex governor Whitaker
should be dismissed from the office of col
lector of internal revenue because the
public service demanded their removal?
It is well known, and admitted on all sides,
that these have all been faithful, compe
tent and clean officials, and that the public
service rather demanded that they should
be retained in their respective offices, b ut
the imperious demand of the spoils hun
ter broke in upon the president's ear and
he had neither strength nor courage to
disable it. These democrats will lose their
places because they are democrats and
their succes-ors will bt appointed because
they are '-publicans. Let this truth be
admitUu 'U mociats wid rest content.
