! posed in them than are ours. Our county
Judges and our county clerk deserve spe'
! cial commentator, for their sterling in
tegrity and judicious management, which
have saved us from the very jaws OF
impending ruin. They will probably
not thank us for this, as they will feel
and say that they have simply acted
as honest men. We say. all honor to

While the vulgar partners are consider
ably in the majority In the republican
political firm which has controlled the
United States during the last seventeen
wears, there IS an occasional writer or
speaker OF the co-partnership who, ii he
is moi decent, tries to be rs decent as he
can-as for instance. Bayard Taylor.
the cool Mr.. Evarts. and the suave.
though bitterly prejudiced and sectional
MIR. George William Curtis. The dem
ocratic party charges that reform OF the
civil-service within the republican party
is impossible that the promise has been
so often made to the ear to be broken to
the hope, that it is useless for the nation
to longer listen to it; that the republi-
can party is more the party OF the
''machine' than has becn any other
political party in the history of the gov
ernment. snd that its leaders are Its
masters-despite the struggles of those
who would free it from corruption, hold
ing it together by the cohesive power of
public plumber. This is denied by the
Blalnes. the Camerons. the Chambers.
the Belknaps. the Robesons. and the
B~abcocks; aud the smaller the try the
louder the denial but Mr.. Curtis. than
whom few men are better qualified to
speak concerning civll-service reform,
as he tried to effect it, under Grant. and
resigned in disgust. says in q recent
number OF his paper-Harper's Weekly
OF the most serious embarrass-
ments of the republican party arises
from the fact that while it has demand
ed a reform. the moment any practical
are taken the leaders disavow
and denounce them; and they hare eren
SophiSticaliy urged q sound principle
Of reform for the purpose Of pfTpet-
uating the abuses tint reform moula

been stronger drawn by any democrat.
