MISS DELANO REINSTATED. The Woman Who Called President Cleveland a Pig Gets Back Her Clerkship.

MisbjD£tiANO,,of Massachusetts, the Patent Office clerk who was removed last fall by the Democratic Administration becauso she /had. -the temerity to express her private opinion that the President was a pig, has , been. reinstated. One by one the mistakes . maplenluringi the Cleveland regime are being cor?ec£ed by the new Republican official?. Quite a pathetic incident was manufactured out of the removal of Miss Delano, and for a time she bade fair to become a national character. The Republican organs that first brought out the story ot her somewhat forcible expression touching the personal character of G rover Cleveland, and her subsequent removal from a comfortable place, where she ,dj;ew a salary of $1,200 per annum, made the most of their case. They pictured the unfortunate victim of woman's proneness to gossip as -a fair -young creature iust out of her teens, ..who, on a vacation visit to Massachusetts, in a gay and idle moment let her giddy tongue wag just "a trifle too fast. Less favoured sisters, envious, of the young clerk's many favours, maliciously repeated her stinging remark, until it reached the ears of Mrs Cleveland and her devoted Husband, when at once the headsman's axe fell upon the.fair shoulders of the maiden. It 'was a warning to all Government clerks, no matter how youthful or how handsome, to keep their tongue 5 - from wagging. The truth is that Miss Delano is far from being the thoughtless young creature thus pictured in the public mindt She is rather a woman of quite mature years, and her name has long been borne upon the pay rolls of her Uncle Samuel. It was not her youth or beauty that caused the Republicans to reinstate her. They were-impelled rather by a strict sense of fustice. She undoubtedly was removed" because she expressed' the opinion that G rover Cleveland "vas a pig. She was reinstated chiefly foi' the reason that 'the Republican ofjficiafs agree with" hfer, — " Rochester Post. " 'q~3.
