PRESIDENT HAYES AND THE HUNGRY
BEGGARS AT HIS GATE.

(who is of the original promoters of Lib
eral Republicanism) to make the move with
which he is credited. Either himself or some
other Republican mutineer was to be expected
to assume the part of protestant against MIR.
Havss inconsistency For what is Civil Ser
vice Reform which retains in Office eighty
thousand Grant men? To be sure the Presi-
dent has fettered these office holders and made
them mere political dummies but the spoils,
ah, the spoils shall they be left in the hands
of the enemy! Henderson is right That
which holds Hayes from BUSTING these Radi-
Gals and filling their places with the hungry
outs and the clamorous malcontents is ''tech-
meal pledges, merely. These can (and willy
be construed away. The President will come
up out of his political Utopia with tomahawk
in his hand. The amiable sentimentalisms of
his sexless policy will give place to positive
action. Not to the victors but to the Hayes
men belong the pickings and stealings The
fact is beginning to shape itself in his befud-
died mind that ''the Machine" is against him
The Machine is the Republican Party. The
thing which hates ''the Machine" is the small
bitter minority of doctrinaires who train at
loose ends and in unsystematised squads I'M
der the more conspicuous malcontents of
former Republican connection. Through
Henderson they come to demand their
reward for hating ''The Conklings, the Came
rons and the Mortons" Mr. Hayes admits
that some of his Cabinet think Mr.. Hen
derson does. Also he says, in goodish way,
that he himself has been thinking about these
things and finds that he agrees with his Cabi-
net What transparent stuff all this is, to be
sure. Henderson is in Washington by pro
gramme. He is the Presidents feeler. He
makes the specialization to the President
that he was engaged to make. 1t is like a
man getting himself presented with watch |
or a gold headed cane Henderson speaks the !
piece he was crammed with. What follows
paves the way to wholesale decapitation of
Radical office holders and the filling of their
places with Hayes men-from all parties and
from no party. This is the end and aim of
Civil Service Reform as seen through the eyes
of Hayes and his political advisers. We quote
from Sundays dispatches Ex-senator Hen
derson, interviewing the President yesterday,
gave distinctive form and expression to the
views of many Republicans, who are impatient
of delays in giving radical effect to the Civil
Service Reform policy. He told the Presi-
dent that in this connection he seemed to be
acting upon false premises, and that a large
proportion of the present office holders, being
appointees of Che political machine, are COW
ertly acting in the interest of those who de
sire to make the administrations reform eff
forts failure. He advised the President that
he must use the proper instruments of reform,
if he would succeed and not allow technical [
pledges in his letter of acceptance restrain L
him from purifying the service of all who are '
not heartily in sympathy with the desired re- I
form, because what the people desire is first I
to get the best men into the service and then u
let them remain there If the Presidents de- T
sire was to keep out the machine politician,
he should be sure that the machine politician 4
is not already in. The President replied that d
Henderson's views were in harmony with the
Judgment of some members of the Cabinet
md not at all in conflict with his own" In X
