Gratis.
PITTsFIELD, Dec 30-A few weeks ago o
w, Robbins of this town, an active and wealthy
Democrat, went to Washington and curiosity
led him TO Call upon the President. Mr.. Hayes
made such favorable impression upon him
during the interview that ever since Robbins
returned home he has been talking about get
ting up meeting to express popular approval
without regard to party of the President
measures. This meeting was held last night.
1t being one of the busiest nights of the week
with the merchants and as Francis Murphy. the
great temperance worker, also held meetiog,
aud there were other gatherings the Hayes
meeting was not largely attended, but there
was a respectable number present especially of
leading Democrats. Hon. Marshall Wilcox,
Tilden stump speaker in the Presidential cam
paign, presided and made quite a lengthy
speech, His principal point was that while men
might honestly differ on financial and other
national questions, all were agreed in want
ing reform and honest government and he be-
leved Mr.. Hayes was trying to reform the civil
service and fill offices with honest, capable
men, and it was proper, therefore, that such
meetings as this should be held to let the
President know that the people were with him.
He referred TO Ben, Buffers recent rmark that
''civli service reform was only mentioned as
joke in Washington and said that this refo rm
Was not joke but something the people were
10 earnest about and they would make their
hopicoeb1iFeS uuueistduu ~. several otDeI
guests spoke, after which the meeting adjourn
ed till pext Saturday evening.
The following preamble and resolution offer
ed by Mr.. Durham was received with applause
when read but was not formally adopted being
laid over until The next meeting:
Whereas, President Hayes is attem ptipg to
redeem the promises made by the Republican
party in the last Presidential campaign in its
platform by the party organs ana by its advo
Gates touching the i'm eortant question of civil
service reform and
Whereas many ofice holders, senator's and
reDrese ntatlves in Congress are directly or indl-
feetly seeking to tawart the President in his
efforts towards reform and purer civil service
therefore,
Resolved, That President Hayes is entitled
to the hearty thanks of the people for his many
efforts, for courage already sbownlapd for what
he has already accomplished in the line of re-
conclliation and of purer civil service.
