THE RETENTION OF FAITHFUL PUBLIC
SERVANTS.


THE DETENTION OF FAITHFUL PUBLIC
SERVANTS.
One OF the great objections which thought
full mon In other countries prefer against
American republlcanIsm Is that II does not
sualclentiy protect aud encourage faithful
public Officers. They point out the evils Of
our caucuses and conventions, which, In nine
cases out Of ten, are controlled by men who
have the least interest and stake In the com
munlty, but who are nevertheless the virtual
rulers and despots OF the country for the
simple reason that they make politics busl-
nesa, and give TO lts details that attention and
ability which are devoted by the masses who
vote on election day to other studies and pro-
fessions We have no deslre 10 write an essay
upon this subject, to point out what Is so ap-
parent 10 every one. Educated Americans
see the weak spot Ia our republican instltu-
tons Just As clearly as the foreigners to whom
We have alluded see II. They feel that the
cAucus has altogether too much to do with
our politics and our Government and are
gradually coming up 10 the standard when
they will obey liz Sehests only so far a. 1t Il
right The caucus and the convention on
the other hand begin to realize this fact and
OF late years, out Of purely unsellsh motives,
have ondeavored, ~ far a. possible, TO come
