THE PRESIDENT WRITES A LETTER AND
EXPLAINS HIMSELF.
WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - The ques-
ton of civil service reform and its rela-
ton to the political contests now being
carried on in the States of Maine, Ohio
and New York has been seriously con-
sidered by the President. He has lately

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WARRINGTON,
August 10.
| MY DEAR GENERAL: 1 have youi
| note AZ to the Interference of Fedora
Off ce- holders in the Republican County
| Convention. This is the first l have
| beard of IL. i agree with you, that the
interference of public officials with par
tisan political management ought to b,
stopped, and that the order on the sub
ject be enforced, The truth Is that tn,
less public officers have TO do with par
tisan political management the better l
is for the public service and for thei
party. A public officer can best promot
the interest of his party by rendenn
faithful and efficient service In perform
ing the duties of his office. If you wi
send me the N mes of those you con
plain of, with brief statement of tn
facts alleged against them. l will se
that the affair is looked into and justit
: done. / am glad to know that the ru
on the subject Is more generally CO
piled with as it is better understood al
that the public sentiment sustains
Sincerely, r. b. HAYES.

Craftsmen, craving kindly greeting.
Don your blue and gray,
Let Us hold one cordial meeting
On the Square, today.
Whether coming from our regions.
Where the pine tree grows
Y neither coming from your legion
here the orange blows;
From plebrians, or from princes,
Owning gold or dross,
SIM we W me- Suii,o rtares.
Marching round the Cross.
If wars laundering roar and rattle
Haunt our memories still,
Let them come from that old battle
Fought on Bunker's Hill.
Let each blackened corpse Of passion,
In its cerements rot
Plant 10 mystic sprig Acacian
Fer to mark the spot
Let us bury feuds, forever,
Deep in common graves:
Let us quatf, for now or never,
From Lethean waves
When we cross the final ferry,
Claiming earth no more
When we step from out the wherry,
On that distant shore,
We will strike one harp and cymbal
At the masters calls
We will use one word and symbol
In the mystic halls.
