Scarcely is the ink dry that flowed
from the pen that wrote the Republican
platform adopted at Chicago with its
resolution favoring again Civil Service
Reform" when the order demand goes
out to each one of the forty odd thous-
and postmasters, and also to the forty or
fifty thousand other Government Off
Gals, to send on the money levy for
campaign purposes, to enable the lead
ers to 20 on with their usual work of
corrupt scheming, with a view of con-
tinuing their plumber rule.
A day or two since we received by
mail an enclosure, containing a few lines
from a postmaster, with the circular,
given below, and signed Edward Nc.
Pherson, demanding "a contribution"
and saying "it will lot be objected to in
any official quarter" This shows the
hollow sham in the civil service re.
form" professions of Hayes and the
platform.
This is in perfect character and keep
ing with the hypocritical course of the
party leaders, ard it is quite proper un-
der all these circumstances, that Con-
gressman Mckinley, now running for his
third term, should be a member of the
Matchmaking Republican Congressional
Committee. But read the letters:
