SHAMEFUL PROSTITUTION OF
HIGH OFFICE.
The following dispatch from
\v ushingtou tolls a tale of corrup
tion that should make the people oi
this nution think. The president has
not only shown u degree of partisan
ship and prostitution of his office to
political ends, never before heard of
hut the departments at Washing
ton are honeycombed with corrup
tion. This is but an instance of the
way the people’s money is being
squandered for political purposes
and is another evidence of the fact
that “My policy” is to control the
succession to the presidency and the
election of congress by the prostitu
tion of federal patronage.
