Judge Kelley ON his arrival home from Wash
ington was visited by q reporter 'Ot The Phitddephia
JoDrer TO whom he gave his the policy o! the
new Administration. He expressed himself as fully in
harmony with the President the civil service reform
and Southern questions. He said From the Southern
policy of tn President and determination to improve
the civil service and put it on better basis than it has
been since the days OF John Quincy Adams expect the
happest results The doctrine that to the victOrs be-
long the spOis which came into vogue under Gen Jack
son has done more than all other to corrupt our
politics and, in setting his face against It, President
HAYES shows that he endowed with the true spirit of
reform His Southern policy must prove beneficial 10
the whole country and will, believe. especially # he
can prevent the Offices from being regarded as mere
spos or rewards partisan services obliterate the
two lines OF hatredthe geographical and tie color line
which have prevented the completion of the work Of
reconstruction and retarded the material improvement
OF the south" While however, giving cordial assent
10 the Presidents efforts give to the South ana
10 reform the civil service Mr. Kelley could not approve
OF financial policy He could see nothing Dut gloom
and disaster in the future until the Resumption act was
repa ed silver remOnetzed and sreenbacks made cheap
and plenty.
