Another Bad Appointment.

Brother Harrison’s selection of the corrupt ward “hustler” Knowles for one of the most important consulates in Europe because his successful bribery had carried a Republican majority of one in the Delaware Legislature, with a popular majority in the State of 3,500 for Cleveland, sizes up exactly the moral shams of the. administration. Let us pray. Higgins in the United States Senate as the result of Knowles’ bribery gives the Republican party their majority in that body—otherwise the Senate would stand a tie.— Pittsburgh Post.
