THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1889.
A COLD, CRUEL STAB
At the Retiring President, Delivered
by a Disgusted Democrat.
JUDGE EDGERTON HAS HIS SAT.
He Writes an Open Letter Full of Sarcasm,
Bitterness and Spite.
Will HE A.YD JIB. CLEVELAND ABE OCT.
Be Accuses GroTtr of Forsatinjr His Heal Friends fcr
the Mugwumps.
A most scathing, sarcastic and very bitter
open letter has been addressed to President
Cleveland by Judge Edgerton, lately re
moved from the Civil Service Commission
for refusing to resign in order to allow Hugh
S. Thompson to qualify in his stead. Judge
Edgerton accuses the President of attempt
ing to carry water on both shoulders, and
thus being deluged by the weightof his load.
"Washington, February 18. Judge A.
P. Edgerton, who was recently removed
from the office of Civil Service Commission
er, has written an open letter to the Presi
dent. He says among other things:
I was indebted to jou for the only appointive
office I ever held. You now declare by jour
action that you regret the appointment I, with
equal right, can say ti.it I regret the accept
ance. Yonr regret was never made known to
me by yon in any word or utterance or
action until now, at the close of
your administration, and on the
itay before m removal. Of course, if you be
lieved nic unfit for the position or neglectful of
duty, you should have removed me long ago,
but I presume there t ere prudential and politi
cal reasons w by you did not make the removal
until after the election. In this regard it would
almost seem as if you v. ere willing to play false
with the Mugwumps to enable you to win with
the Democrats. And here permit me to define
the term "Mugwump" as referring to a class of
political reformers 'nho have the spirit of re
formation vt ithont the common sense and good
Judgment to reform, as reforms are not affect
ed by unjust personal denunciations, but by
reason.
AN UNPLEASANT DILEMMA.
The result of tho election placed you in a
dJemrna from which few people would have
known how to extricate themselves. You
found a man on yonr hands whom the Mug
wumps had declared war upon, an enemy to
their civil service reform theories and your
plan of becoming their representative in the
future would be weakened or defeated if some
assurance of your fidelity to their cause could
not be secured. Accordingly, it appears that
ou decided upon the removal of the head of
the commission; and deeming Mr. Thompson a
pood enough Mugwump for them, you there
fore demanded my resignation that you might
appoint him. apparently as an atonement lor
jour previous inaction.
Mr. President, with dne courtesy to the high
office you hold, allow me to say that you are a
very peculiar man, a positive man positively
wrong or positivel right and, therefore, an
unsafe man to trust; and that element in your
character, I believe, led to your deleat.
Pope saj s, "The most positive men are the
most credulous, since they most believe them
selves, and advise most with their fellow flat
terers and worst enemies." Being one of that
kind of men yourself, you have kept some men
of like cnaracter around 3 ou who are positive
only in their malice and conceit. They flatter
you and have the conceit that would magnify
themselves and the malignity that would de
tract from others.
JUVENAL- ALSO QUOTED.
Juvenal says; "There is nothing a man will
cot believe in his own favor." You were credu
lous enough to believe that you were elected
President by tho Mugwumps, and therefore
yon permitted them to malign j our real friends
and to flatter you into a policy which led to
your defeat. You are a man who would not
permit your real friends to admonish j ou with
freedom and confidence, and as a result you
have suffered for t! want of friends, and your
wrecked and wrrliriea greatness has discov
ered that there is'tfio true success in life with
out the power andblessing of friendship. You
have believed that your will and power to en
force it was above, all powers, but the will of
the people, expressed in a Constitutional way,
has taught j ou that there was a n Uer and bet
ter way than that chosen by you.
Having sworn to support the civil service
law, it has been my constant effort to do so: bu
1 never did sw ear to support a Mugwump intcrt
prctation of it, based ou themonstrousassuuip
tion that the commission was independent of
law. How many poor unfortunates have been
denied the advantages and benefits of the law
by questions nevercontemplated byit, and how
many expenses have been incurred through
unnecessary and devious requirements and
practice, it is not my purpose at this time to
state.
A LESSON DULY LEAENED.
You will be censured and condemned be
cause you put no trust in your own party, but
believed yourseir to be better than your own
and greater than all parties. You have ascer
tained that the many were not made for the
cne. If you can find as manv reasons for re
moving me as the Democratic nartv. thrnnt.li
an indifference w hich was simplv retaliatory,
had for removing vou, 1 shall be "quite willing
to remain with you in the gloom of defeat
The Judge proceed to give his under
standing of the" civil service law, and con
tinues: You cause to be placed upon tho Congres
sional Record this announcement of a nomina
tion by you to be confirmed by the United
States Senate. "Hugh S. Thompson, of South
Carolina, to the United States Civil Service
Commissioner in the place of Albert P. Edger
ton, removed." I do not ask you to give any
icasonfor this act I know, and so do ton
'hat the only one you could give would be that
it was your will, for if you attempted to give
any other your own previous words would
prove it to be untrue. In my interview with
you before the removal you precisely dis
claimed having any reason for it except my re
fusal to resign to enable you to make Mr.
Thompson's nomination.
"Removed" is a word of far-reaching poten
cy, and especially when a record does not ex
plain it I am conscious of this, and deeply
pained by the consciousness. The people have
thencbt to Know the truth in all matters of
this kind, and for this reason only do I address
you. I cannot like you, make a prayer for re
lief to the public such as the article seemed to
be in the Baltimore Sun at the 14th instant
This is the first time in the historv of the Gov
ernment that an ont-goiug President has fonnd
it necessary to. advertise throuch newspapers
his particular work during his term of office,
andihis claims upon his party and the conntry
for approval, lietween the lines can be read
the special plea for re-eloction.
persons now in office in the departmental serv
ice wero there in ISSaT Let me present to you
the fact that one State the State of Maine
has in one department only (the Treas
ury Department) 61 clerks, not one of
whom has passed a civil service examina
tion, but all found "permanent lodgment"
there through favoritism, and were there when
you were inaugurated in 18S5, and are yet in
office. Tho same condition of things exists in
other departments. You will soon have no
rower of removal, and the places they hold,
will not be subject to your "clearing-out" ef
forts. You have shut your eyes to the fact that
these clerks have been active and successful in
aiding in your own "clearing out" and the poor
civil service eligibles still hare the wide scope
yon have secured for them on the outside
while incompetents are rejoicing within.
You do not understand the civil service law
Mr. President Its examinations are not made
for those inside, but for those outside. Your
theory of inaction would defeat the law. You
have not dared to weed out incompetents.
Judge Edgerton criticises the conduct of
one of the other Commissioners, without
mentioning his name, and concludes as fol
lows: Ham justified in stating one single fact of
mischievous distrust and wrong-doing on the
part of a "commissioner in charge." Collector
Magone, of New York, addressed to me a
"personal" letter, thus marked ou the envelope,
the postage paid, no indication that it could be
official on the inside, also marked "personal,"!
and this letter was opened and read by the
"commissioner in charge" and forwarded to
the other commissioner, then in Boston, and by
him answered before the letter was sent to me,
then at home in the West From such sources
as this has come nearly all of the attacas upon
me and, I doubt not mostof the misrepresenta
tions of my opinions made to yon. whether
they had any influence is questionable.

NO BRIBERY IN THE SOUTH.
Senator Coko Says They Have No Money
to Buy Votca Willi.
"Washington, February 18. The Sen
ate to-day resumed consideration of the
"Texas outrages" resolution, and Mr. Coke
began his fourth day's argument against it
He declared that he had no excuse or palli
ation or justification for the raiding of
.ballot boxes in "Washington county, but he
did not condemn it more strongly, or regret
it more sincerely, than did the people of
that county. There were similar transac
tions all over the United States. He did not
say that ballot boxes were raided in every
section; but he did say that bribery, bald
and unblushing, aid prevail in every sec
tion of the country except in the South,
where they did not have any money to buy
votes with. And yet he heard of no Con
gressional investigation into, bribery in the
last election.
Seventy indictments (he was told) had
been found in Indiana for bribery nine
tenths of those indicted being Republicans.
but no Senator had risen apd asked for an
investigation there. "Who, he asked, would
charge the good people of Indiana on that
account? Who would charge the good peo
ple of the great State of New York, where
millions were paid out in bribes in the last
Presidental election? Who would charge
the good people of Iihode Island, where cur
rent newspaper report said that bribery pre
vailed to a great extent in the last election?
Who would charge the people of any of
those States with complicity in those crimes?
And why should the people of Texas, and of
the whole South, be held responsible for a
single abuse in one single county?
There were no "White Caps" in Texas.
There was no case of bribery reported from
the South. In the South there was more
muscle than money, and there was no
bribery there; while in the North there was
more money than muscle, and there was no
violence there. It was force in the South;
it was fraud and bribery in the North. But
bribery was exceptional in the North, and
force was exceptional in the South. Of the
two crimes, bribery was the most dangerous
and the most difficult to provide against

A EEFRACT0RY WITNESS.
Clerk rister Positively Refuses to Testify
When Called Upon.
Washington, February 18. A full
meeting of the Senate Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds was held to-day to
consider the case of the witness, Thomas
Pistcr, Chief Clerk of the Supervising Ar
chitect's office of the Treasury Department,
who last week refused to answer certain
questions regarding the collection or receipt
of political contributions from employes in
the office, when asked by the sub-committee.
The sub-committee decided to recommend
to the full committee that the witness be re
quired to answer the questions, and upon
his refusal, that he be brought before the
Senate for contempt of the committee.
At the meeting to-day the witness was
given another opportunity to answer the
questions, but he again refused. The com
mittee thereupon went into secret session,
but just what has been determined upon has
not yet developed. It is reported that the
matter will probably be settled in the Sen
ate soon, and it is the impression that Fis
ter will be arrested and brought before the
bar of the Senate for contempt

ANOTHER CASE OF KEMOYAL.
I can point to another removal than mine,
beyond a parallel, to go down through history
when I shall be forgotten. Before I do bo, let
me refer, as proof of your ignorance of pubbc
opinion, and not of your indifference to it, to
what you say in the Sun article of Mr. Burnes,
k of Missouri, as one not cuilty of the annoyance
to which you were mbjectcd by the country
members of Congress introducing to you rSeir
constituents because he always presented his
constituents at public receptions. If Mr.
Burnes were living, he could tell you another
reason which he often told to others, that bo
had been rudely treated by you and had no
respect for jou personally and ascribed the
defeat of the Democratic party to yoar igno
rance of it It was necessary that you should
make some such explanation for your attack
upon tho "wav-back" members, but jou were
unfortunate in the selection of your witness,
one of the ablest and noblest legislators in
Congress.
But to the case of removal, which must be
come an important part of the historv of the
country. I was on the floor of the House of
Representatives during the time the votes of
the Electoral College were counted, and heard
the announcement of the resnlt that Benja
min Harrison was duly elected President of
the United States but the words that bnmed
deeply through the empty boxes of the Ad
ministration could not be officially added,
though known to be true: "In place of Grover
Cleveland removed." By whom, and for what
cause removed! The answer is now being
made In every home, in every business in the
land, and history will inscribe it upon all its
records.
THAT BEAT CLEVELAND.
Judge Edgerton attributes Mr. Cleve
land's defeat to his disregard of the opinion
and advice of the most eminent men of his
party, and to his political ingratitude, and
continues as follows:
In the statement of yonr- public acts, as
printed in the Sun article referred to, is this
declaration: "When Mr. Cleveland came Into
office he found the departments filled with in
competents who had found permanent lodg
ment there through favoritism," etc. How
canyon say that yon found the departments
filled with incompetents and yet retaV all in
office during your administration? 1 '.cisa

Washington, February 18. Mr.Klein,
the American newspaper man whose ad
ventures in Samoa have been the subjects of
international comment, will not appear be
fore the Senate Committee on Foreign Be
lations, at least for the present. He tele
graphed Secretary Bayard upon his arrival
in San Francibeo, suggesting that he be
summoned to testily concerning matters in
Samoa, but the Secretary was advised that
the committee did not deem it politic or
polite to take any further steps in the
Samoan matter pending the resnlt of the
conference to be held in Berlin, and so Mr.
Klein was probably advised by Secretary
Bayard.

Washington, February 18. The House
to-day recommitted the bill for the protec

instructions to the Committee on Merchant

an amendment reducing from 20 to 10 years
the term of the leaseof the seal fisheries, and
authorizing any person to bring suit against
the lessees to recover 510 for every seal
taken in excess of the number fixed by law.

Will offer this week. They are in the store to speak for themselves and
the price tags on every article and garment offered speak far more elo
quently than anything that can be said in cold type. They are silent
witnesses to what can be truly said to be the most sensational slaughter
of prices ever known.
We've Pushed Prices Down to a Point
That must m eet with the approval and patronage of the poorest as well
as the richest person in the country.
THIS WEEK!!! IS THE WATCHWORD OF THE WISEI
THIS WEEK!!! IS THE BANNER OF THE PRUDENT!
The phenomenally low prices we're naming will find a responsive
chord in every bargain seeker's heart. Everything we offer is at a figure
which is a challenge to any or all other dealers of this city to come
within 25 per cent of it Every bargain we have for you is "catching"
enough to make a thousand people want the same thing.
IF YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR LOWEST PRICES,
NOW IS YOUR TIME, NOW!
You will find high standard value in everything but price. Now, don't
you pay any attention to what others advertise that is if they say
they undersell us. Don't spend a single dollar until you've
visited our store and convinced yourselves that you can
save big money by buying here. "Money talks" every
time and nowhere else will you find it go so far as
with us this week.
ALREADY ARRIVED, A MAGNIFICENT ASSORT
MENT OF SPRING OVERCOATS.
