THE REyoL UrToN ADyANorNG.



In brief interview with the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams at his Quincy home, i'm
me diately after the reception Of the news OF
Gov. 1tldens nomination. the veteran statesman
very frankly gave his opinion OF the nomination.
Mr.. Adams expressed his surprise at the Con-
vention's arriving at so speedy decision. That
Mr.. Tilden had secured the necessary two thirds
on the second ballot showed his great strength
In his party.
Mr.. Tilden, said MIR. Adams, is a formidable
candidate, especially on hard money platform.
with Mr.. Tilden and this platform the Demo-
cratic party stands better, morally, before tho
people than does the Republican party. Hayes
10 nothing respecta no doubt, but without
any record as a roformer.
Tilden is in himself a platform. He has made
bis record. OF the two, said Mr.. Adams, very
decidedly, l would infinitely prefer to see Mr..
Tilden In the Executive chair. Mr.. Adams fur
Their said that he had feared Tilden's enemies
would stab him In the back. His foes were job
bers and corrupt men. lie will have hidden
enemies to encounter In the coming campaign.
The traditionary discipline Of the Democratic
party, the party pride and inclination, will
all Democrats to fall into line for Mr. Tilden.
Mr. Adams also said he thought MIR. Tilden
would carry his own State. The independent
vote will probably divide, those voters with Re-
publican predictions going for Hayes. How
ever, Gov. Tiiden will secure the support of the
opponents Of corruption who desire to SEQ real
work accomplished. The Republican platform
Is weak, especially In its financial plank. This
was an endeavor to catch both the soft" aud
"hard money men.
As to the other candidates before the 81.
Louis Convention, Mr.. Adams thought them all
weak. Hancock would have been beaten on ac-
count, partly, OF his being a military man.
There is reaction, perhaps temporary, against
military men, owing to tho Dissatisfaction with
Gen Grant. Thurman would have been . fair
candidate, but not strong. Hendricks had no
national record Of Importance.
1ilden's war record ia a good one. He is all
right there. As President, Mr.. Tilden would
sweep AWAY cofrupt men and abuses.

During the four years of LINCOLN, COW
oring the whole period of the war when the
exgencics Of the public service exceeded
all former experience, the entire increase
OF the civil list was barely seven thousand.
Passing over the administi alton Of JOHN
soN and coming down to the advent OF
Grantism, a basis of comparison is fur
nished between the cost Of carrying on the
Government while the greatest of civil
wars ragged, and during state of profound
peace.
1t is thus seen that more than forty thou
sand oficehoders have been aided to the
OWL list since GRANT became President.
There is hardly an Appropriation bill in
those six years which does not create new
Offices or raise salaries. The Republicans
IN Congress legislated in their own inter-
est, for the bulk of this patronage was ap
portioned among them in order to insure
their loyalty TO the Administration.
In addition to the legal salaries, a large
fund was also voted to Mr.. boutwell, and
other Secretaries, who distributed it among
their favorites, by means OF which bureaus
were virtually established, ana the pay Of
Auditors and Registers was allowed TO So
called chiefs OF divisions, without color
OF law 10 justify this costly extravaganza.
The contingent fund OF some of the de-
partnents was msused in the same way 10
reward shameless favoritism at the public
expense.
In 1901 the ofliceholders at Washington
numbered l,53s, and in 1873 they rose 10
a023. They are supposed to work SIX hours
n day, but it is well known that at least
twenty-five per cent. of the whole force
do not devote two hours daily TO duty.
They take their ease, read newspapers. and
smoke cigars in the departments, or de
vote themselves TO partisan service out
side. Women who receive the lowest rate
OF pay, are alone held 70 strict account
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1876-07-01

| and even many Of them are exceptions TO
the rule. These officeholders are ailo we'd
leave OF absence for one month I'm every
year, and in addition to that are required
to go home at all important elections with
out loss OF pay and nc the expense of n
fund assessed by the Postmaster at Wash
ington at fixed percentage on the entire
force, so that it may be said they do not
average over ten and half months Of
ostensible service, though they are actual
| ly paid for twelve. There il no correspond
| ing class In any department of private life
which is so favored rs these clerks are.
| The House OF Representatives found
| this state of facts existing, and properly
| determined to correct such glaring abuses
| by reducing the total force twenty per
| cent, and the higher salaries ten per cent.
In all branches of the service. The re-
trenchment might be carried much fur
ther, but the disposition was TO allow a
liberal margin and - make the reform de-
fend itself. At washin, Ston the clerks are
classified by grades, and here Is what the
House has proposed to do with tifem;
All salaries of 81, 40 and under not TO be
touched. Salaries of 81 400 to be reduced.
to u $50; salaries OF 81, 600 TO 1850; sala-
ries of 81 800 to s1,7O0; salaries Of chiefs of
division in the Auditors Offices, Registers
office, and other chiefs OF like grade, O., 400
to 1,sO0; aud salaries of chiefs Of division
IN the Comptroller's offices 81, 400 TO e., 900.
1t will be observed that the ten per cent.
scaling has not been applied to these
Offices, owing. doubtless, to the intended
reduction Of the number. and IN order to
have the departments served with good
ability.
Yet the Senate has raised an cutlery
against this moderate economy, and threat
ened TO defeat the appropriations unless
the House shall recede, and surrender n
principle to which It is solemnly pledged
before the country. The Republicans are
simply struggling to save their patronage
and to protect their relations and friends,
who are holding sinecures with large pay.
This is the sole ground of their opposition
to reform.
Mr.. MORRILL, of Name, who is Chairman
Of the Committee on Appropriations, aud
has led all the resistance TO the economical
policy of the House, gave the public IA
pretty good idea, on Tuesday last, Of what
sort of u successor he would make to Mr..
BRIsTow. Speaking of the action of the
Conference Committee on the Legislative,
Executive, and Judicial bill. he said:
So, then, TIE distinct propositions before the con.
salaries sPd .eeood he reduction Of the nun rs
force and of ne cOfai>e Of cOnTerscs ne
Dortor ne AsRaie, representing tAs Sendie noHff insist
upon nonroncurrtng riN tks House on ne 0ussiOH
Qf salaries"
Tie undoubtedly spoke the sentiment OF
the Republican majority, who have square
ly planted themselves on the broad ground
of excessive expenditures and extrava-
gance I'M every form. The issue Is accept
ed, and the country will soon decide whe-
ther public plumber is to go on as 1t has
done under GRANT, or reform is to be in
augurated by Gov. TLDEE, with return
TO peace ana prosperity.

Why YARYAN VAS REMoTED.

GRANT had good reason f"r he dismissal
Of MIR. YARYAN from the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau. YARyAN was actively engaged In destroy
ing the wniskey thieves; he has been in pursuit
of the other rascals who perpetrate frauds
upon the revenue; he was BEN BRIsrow's
rixht-hand man. In carving on such work
YARYAN ran against some Of the most in
innate friends OF GRANT, aud even accused
them Of being In completely with fraud. What
was GRANTS natural course under these circum-
stancesY Why, OF course, to get rid OF YARYAS.
He does not want such men In the public ser
vice. They Interfere with things too much, dis
turb the mind Of the President, iDJure the in

can party.

A Chance for Carl schurz and Others.

We wait with interest to hear from the
intelligent and respectable gentlemen who
assembled at the Fifth Avenue Hotel about
SIX weeks ago. The opportunity which
they prayed for then has come to them
now. We expect them TO pronounce at
once in favor OF the st. Louis nominations.
II Mr.. CARL SoHuRz and Mr.. MARTIN
BRrMMER and Mr.. PARKE GOODWIN and the
venerable President wooLsEY had been
gifted with provision when they drew up
their address to the American people, they
could not have described more accurately
the issue that now falls between HAYES
and rILDEN,
ave shall support no candidate" they
wrote, "who, however favorably judged
by his nearest friends, is not publicly
known to possess those qualities of mind
aud character which the stern task of
genuine reform requires" Then they 20
Oh to say, in words which apply with sim
Eular fitness TO the candidate of the Gin
oinnati Convention. THE American peo-
pie cannot now afford to risk the future OF
the republic in experiments on merely
supposed virtue or rumored ability TO be
trusted on the strength of private recon-
mendations."
Not more clearly is HAYES excluded by
the negative requirements of the Fifth
avenue conference than is TILDES indi-
Gated by its positive declaration: "The
man to be intrusted with the Presidency
this year must have deserved not only the
confidence OF honest men, but also the fear
and hatred Of the thieves" And again, rs
n to narrow down the field of possible can
didates to SAMUEL j. TGLDES himself: The
country must now have President whose
name is already a watchword Of reform,
whose capacity and courage for the work
are matters Of record rather than OF prom
ise."
Having urged so earnestly the very
CHOICE which the st. Louis Convention has
wisely made, it is not to be expected that
these gentlemen will stultify their own
Recommendations or warrant the charge
that they are merely theoretical reform
srs, who refuse, when ii is offered them,
the only opportunity of practical reform.
The members of the Fifth avenue con-
ference heartily applauded the name of
bAMUEL j. TiLDEN when IL was introduced
by CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, Jr. Now let
them As heartily support the man who is
really able TO carry through thorough
going reform Of the Government.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.--Four Ohio Republi-
can members of Congress teleRraphed to Gov. HAYES
s night their earnest conviction that his letter Of
crptance must avoid approval or condemnation OF
unANrs Adminlstraon, and that 1t ought TO be very
brief Epenfa0 Post.
30 these party managers have begun TO look
after Gov. HAYEe, and take charge Of him, Just
as coon IA he IL nominated. The advice they
have given him. 40 far II IL indicated In this de-
spatch, 10 GOOD but It seems they could not trust
to his own promptines in the matter, and were
so afraid OF his utternnces about Grantism. that
they FASTENED to send him q warning by tele-
graph. This shows the weak point OF HAYES
As candidate be will be, and as President he
would be, In the hands Of the managers and
schemers. The Rigs are already after him,
and all the corrupt Influences are gathered
around him. They are sure to overmaster him.
They are not to be put OF with any nonsense.
Tho Republican politicians knew what they
were about when they put up HAYES. We ven
ture to say that our Uncle SAMUEL knows how
TO write his letter Of acceptance without dlcta-
tion.

Chief Justice DAILY, of the Common

that AL claims against the city, whether
arising In tort or upon contract, may DO
paid by the Comptroller, the Finance De-
partment OF which he is the head, and
over which he exercises entire control,
having authority TO settle and adjust all
claims for and against the corporation"
SO the Comptroller of his own mere mo-
ton, could pay out a million dollars of the
city's money for an alleged violation OF Il
contract between "A claimant aud the city
OR he could pay out any sum he chose for
an alleged injury caused 10y a street being
out of repair, without waiting for the real
amount of damage TO be first ascertained
by u jury.

ever pays anything voluntarily; but how
