Call for Convention. The Republican voters of Rensselaer yvill meet in mass convention, at the court house, on Monday, April 3rd, 1893, at 7:30 o’clock, p. m., to nominate candidates to be voted for at the ensuing town election for the offices of Town Treasurer, Town Clerk, Town Marshal, Town Trustees for the Third and Fifth Districts.

The alleged rule of shutting out editors from appointment to office tinder this administration has been disavowed by the President. All the same, however, before any of them can get a post-office they have to agree to give up their connection with their papers and devote their whole attention to the post-offices. If the Democrats really believed half the evil things they said about the protective tariff it would be their imperative duty to have a special session of Congress at once, and eradicate the whole protection system, root and branch. They not only will not have a special session however, but they will be “mighty scaly” of taking hold of the tariff when the regular session meets in December. Quite a number of our Democratic exchanges succeeded last week in rallying sufficiently from the effects of President Cleveland’s supposed ruling out of editors as applicants fortoffice, to commend the rule as right and proper. Now that Mr. Cleveland has denied that he made any such rule, those same editors will commend him just as heartily for not making it.

Our friend David Shields seems to have been real mad because of our well meant little article last w^^^n - Tegar3~to -- candidates, judging from his card in the Democratic Sentinel. In that article we simply showed that Mr. Shields and Uncle Leroy Sayers were the only “logical candidates” now in the field, according to Mr, Cleveland’s latest rulings. Our compar son of the “personal appearance” of the two men is what appears to have most disturbed Mr, Shields’ equanimity. Well, we admit that the comparison was a little tough on Uncle Leroy. But really, Mr. Shields can’t blame The Republican for the rules this Democratic administration has formulated, nor for the all too evident fact that in the necessary show-down of good looks, he is not in it with Uncle Leroy Sayers. “Is not the truth, the truth?” as Falstaff says.

Albany Tribune: —It is strange that President Cleveland did not observe the contradictions of his inaugural. He speaks of the “growth and expansion of our country,” “the wonderful thrift and of our people,” our stupendous achievements” “our robust growth” and in connection with these splendid triumphs of the nation, and our magnificent prosperity and growth, he talks of “the burdens of the daily life of onr people,” “inordinate and unequal advantages,” our countrymen “blinded to their condition under vicious tariff laws” and the people “led away from the paths of contentment and prosperity.” His followers in the campaign were politically wiser than * he. They made it their calamitious practice to shriek calamity from every stump and printing office.

JS?°®tmaster General Bissell’s statement that the people will be consulted in the choice of postmasters lias resulted in Congressman Conn, of this state, calling for elections in his district, and it is not at all unlikely that Congressraan Hammond may yet feel constrained to adopt the same plan in this district

A DEMOCRATIC CON FESSION.

The following are sample editorial paragraphs from that earnest but honest Democratic paper, the Valparaiso Messenger p . Editor Stoll, of the South Bend Times, says, “While the Legislature of 1893 was by _no means what it might or should have been it is very unjust to undertake to show that it was wholly bad.” But the bad predominated by a large majority. “It was simply a scandal,” said Attorney-General Smith speaking of the Senate the other day. “The corporation lobby determined what bills should be considered; the lobby had control of the senate.” The Griffiths, Sellers, Kopelkes, Parkers and McHughs have made a fine record for the Democrats,

How To Get Office.

A dispatch says that the following code of rules can now be authentically given as those which will govern all appointments to the public service under this administration* First--Incumbents will be retained in office until their commissions expire, unless there is voluntary resignation. When there is no commission fixing tenure the incumbent, if efficient, will be permitted to serve for four years from time of appointment. Second —No one who held office under the former Cleveland administration will be again appointed to office, the only exceptions being to railway mail clerks and postoffice inspectors. Third —No appointments will be made in States having spring elections until they have occured. Fourth—All postmasters must divorce themselves from private business, excepting instanoes where, in the fourth class, the pay is so small that postmasters cannot give undivided time to the postoffice. Fifth—Appointments will not be made upon magnitude of petitioners or indorsements alone, but the character, appearance and evident fitness of the applicant; for the place must also be considered. Sixth—As appointments are of an executive and not of a political character, recommendations by primary election will not prevail. Seventh—No exceptions will be made to Rule 2 in favor of applicants who were removed from office by the last administration before they had. served the full term of four years, no matter how brief their service may have boon.

To Propitiate Mr. Shields.

Nubbin Ridge, Ind. March 21,1893. Editor Republican:—l notice in the Sentinel, that D. W. Shields complains because The Republican “attacks” him because of his personal appearance. Mr. Shields says “I am not responsible for my personal appearance and owe no one an apology because my Creator did not form me after editor Marshall’s ideal.” Let us see. If Mr. Shields was to be appointed or elected to some high office, he would claim that he was a self made man, and God would get no credit for the job. If he gives God the credit for the job, he virtually accuses the Lord of making a botch of it Now if he is not a seif made ipan and the Lord did make him I have no doubt he did the best he could with the material on hand. Why didn’t David give vent to his feelings in the columns of the Pilot? I think I can account for it; he knew that ‘‘Uncle Jimmy” McEwen is very soft hearted and knowing the Pilot Company, of which David is a member, had done much to try to lessen the circulation of the Sentinel; yet if he went to him and cried real heartily in his lap (the Sentinel) Uncle Jimmy would forgive him and he (Davy) would feel relieved, oh so much. David should not think of cowhiding any one. No, no, go at it like Sullivan or Corbett or like Robinson did James. That is the manly way to punish a ‘parasite.” David should not take a pessimistic view of things. Remember you have been giving it to Marshall

and several other Republicans pretty strong for many months, and that truth or argument counted for nothing, but when a little ridicule was brought to bear, yo Q g O t red in the face and figuratively, blubbered like a school boy. That sounds boyish, even childish. David, we, of this region, have known you many years, as a youth, a school marm, a newspaper correspondent, (Grape Island), as a candidate for Township Assessor and County Recorder. Of course, your name was not “Eli,” but you Can yet be a good man if you will. Go to school; get knowledge and wisdom, get married and vote the Republican ticket and the people will forget about your failures and your appearance and will learn to love you because you are wise and good. From your old friend and well wisher. Ida May .
