Hastings said, "When a man presents
sni%saf nsf ~ a candidate for public office,

nIass" HThat was what he was there
;,p'Iv " and he would endeavor to explain
% ~ tbs M peOplC what his course would be,
W,Ssv should elect him to represent
M Siste in Congress. He believed 1t
%stbs duty of every man living IN
A.. popular form of government to be
SOGiacisn, and he also considered 1t
,SSauy Of every man to contribute his
.imsspa money to advance the inter-
SSof he political party of his choice.

you please, but let the people run the
machine"
1.-THE people will only take hold and
uu the machine themselves we will
bar less of political bosses, who were
only possible because the people them
wlIes showed so much Indifference. 1t
hsd often seemed to him that the peo-
pie took no interest in such matters, ex-
tept in times of great political excite.
Ment He believed in awholeseme and
sensible reform of the civil service but
hdOubted whether the Civil Service
Reform Commissions would ever devel-
pMything OF practical utility. Com
psitye examinations were doubtless
we'll enough in some cases but in the
majority Of instances a little hard COM
mon NaR would be much more to the
purpose For instance an inspector of
customs should be selected with a view
bhb knowledge of those goods that
heduties Of the place would require
bin to know about. A letter carr ier's
publications should be- good feet and
fgS and the ability to read writing
With readiness.
While opposed to making party SER
Woe the standard of appointment, he
would always, other things being equal,
give preference to men who were will
Ing tOdevote apart of their leisure
time to legitimate and necessary politi-
cal work. In brief, he would have the
business Of the government conducted
IS nearly as possible on the same COM
mon sense basis as private business.
Va the subject of political assessments
Mt hastings spoke briefly, He would
compel no government employe to con-
HlOate, but he took it for granted that
