The civil service reform of the Hayes
S"hura SLsra..n ~abiuel a been a
humbug and a shan, but still it is theirs,
and they stand by it in lieu OF something
better. Mr.. Scburz, in his speech at
lndianapolis-in which, by the way. he.
like the New York Tribune, failed to
remember that Mr.. Arthur was in exis-
tence-gave MIR. Garfield a well-merited
slap for his sneers at civil service re-
form. He said:-"As' to the civil SER
vice, l have stated what, in my opin-
ion. Its condition is to-day, and that
opinion accords. l think. with every fair
minded observer. As to what it will
become in case of a republican victory
l shall not predict the millennium.
neither from the knowledge I have OF
the obstacles in the way OF a permanent
reform on sound principles, nor from
the party platform, o from the last ut
terance of the candidate" Exactly so.
Nor from a party platform made where
Flanagan was applauded. and Mr.. Barker
was disregarded; nor from the last ut
terance OF Gen. Garfield, the candidate,
who says in his letter that the bosses
must make the appointments.

Two things ma be depended On il
Hancock is elected. One is, that if he
issues a civil service order, he will not
only observe it himself. but he will make
others obey it. The other is that he
will have the books Of the government
honestly kept.

The statement made by republican
newspapers that the democracy placed a
national debt, in 1860, or at any other
time, at much less than par, is untrue.
No bonds were ever sold under a demo.

and INC they were sold as high as
4 1-2 per cent. premium. Republicans
must try some other plan to scare con-

Mr.. F. Coleman Smith, OF Butler,
Bates county, is announced as a candi-
date for probate judge. MI. Smith was
brought up in this county, his father,
the late Col. Robert N. Smith, having
been one of our most highly honored
and respected citizens. Col. Smith al
n time represented this county in the
legislature very a%cceptably to the peo-
pie. He was for many years an educa-
tor of young men in Kentucky. A
thorough classical scholar, he included
among his pupils such men as John c.
Breckenridge and others who made their
mark in different walks of life. Col.
Smith was a christian gentleman, as
well as a scholar, and died at a green
cd age, beloved by the entire commu-
nifty. One of his sons. Jos. F. Smith,
Esq. is now the democratic nominee
for the legislature in this county, and
will certainly be elected. Should the
good people Of Bates county see fit to
honor Mr.. F. Coleman Smith by making
him probate judge, they will select a
gentleman of education and integrity,
who comes from a family without a
blemish upon its escutcheon, and which
values its honor above all things. The
interests OF the widow and the orphan
will be safe IN his hands, and no service
which he a render them will 60 un-
done. We hope to hear of his election.

An article in our last issue attributing
to Justice Swayne an opinion in the De-

language attributed to Judge Swayne
was really used by Ex-senator Doollttle,
as attorney for DeGolyer, in a suit in
which a large sur, of mouey was claim
ed at their hands by a lobbyist. 1t was
telegraphed from Washington as a part
of an opinion delivered by the judge and
was used by respectable democratic
papers under misapprehension. The
Intelligencer has no purpose which it is
willing to conserve by falsehood, and
cheerfully makes this correction. The
truth, we think, is sufficient to condemn
Mr.. Garfield IN this matter, and nothing
else should be used if it is not.
