There is the test authority for the state
ment that the Administration will no
longer apologize for the appointment, or
retention in Office, Of men whose political
preferences are kDown to be hostile to tie
success Of the Republican party. Clerks
in the Departing ats have recently been
called On TO contribute to the Republican
campaign funds OF Maine and Ohio. Sons
refused, alleging that the good Of the civil
services did not require Ia m TO give to a
party opposed to these polite IL princip es-
Such boldLess has embittercd the faithfnl
