Eyes. sir. / am in favor of allowing
every man to hold any Office he likes, as.
long as he likes, give him his salary as.
long as he wants it, and when he gets
through present him with chromo.''
"Are you going to abolish the per cent.
assessment schemes?"
'That assessment business was no limo
walton. 1t is an evil that has been handed
down to US from the Democrats in the days

| Chow do YOU feel on the tariff GUes-~
| tion?"
Il am protective-taTif man, but I am
in favor of a revision of the present tariff.

'How do you stand on the abolis hrent
of internal revenue taxation?"
'-Internal-revenue taxation is no. Re-
publican. It's an ti-aepublican method

Amt the Democrats CRYING for it. with the
White house in the distance? Civll-service
J reform to them would be to shove out
every Republican and put i'll every Demo

The Democracy is great, gaunt wolf Its
l shrunken belly, kept empty for more than
twenty years, cries for reform. Its hid
, eous, wicked, naked form cries for civil
service reform. Its feted breath, its re-

and Libby prisons all for civil service
reform. But look at it. Are our revenues
honestly collected? Is the public work

"How about the , per cent, assess

"Ihat is purely voluntary matter, and
l have heard of no complaints, Or of any
one who refused to pay because of beng

: How about the tax revision?''

the tariff needs revising, but to discuss that
