Mr. Cleveland they reflected the sen
timents or nine-tenths or the JJemo
crat8 in North DaroDa. We despise
iiypocracy ana treachery and we do
not wonder at Mr. Cleveland's "in-
ocuous diguetude" in considering
North Carolina appointments. And
particularly is this the case when the
applicants themselves are considered.
Who are some of the applicants?
Gudger, who is closely relaiied, is
Vance's candidate for Collector of
the Western District It is the most
lucrative office in the State. G udger
was an outspoken auti-Cleveland
man, and three weeks before the
election he abandoned the campaign
and gave up the State. Billingsgate
Glenji, whose vulgarity, irreverence
aud bulling disgusted intelligent
people, everywhere in the State was
a violent and vehement anti-Cleveland
man. He begged the State Con
vention to make him a Presidential
Elector, believing at the time that
Mr. Cleveland would not be nomina
ted at Chicago. Glenn is Vance's
candidate for District-Attorney for
the Western District Vance is a
courageous rhan in some things. lie
says boldly (since Cleveland turned
his back to him in the White House
recently) that he will not recommend
any man for appointment who was
an "original Cleveland mm." Wo
admire courage, true manly courage,
out we ao not aamire the "sour grape
variety." Vance ought to have taken
this position at the outset, or Mr.
Cleveland ought to have snubbed
him earlier in his snoils-hnnfi no-
madness.
Now the gracious and diplomatic
Ransom operates on a different line.
