CLEvELAND's overwhelming majority in

victory because of the manifest fact that

THE Philadelphia Committee of One
Hundred has certain reform measures in
view, which provide for the repeal by the
next Legislature of. the recorders bill and
of the delinquent tax bill for the passage
of law for the reform of municipal gov
ernment; reducing the number of depart
ments and concentrating the responsibility
and covering the general features of the
municipal bill now before councils for
the securing of civil service reform for
the revision of the laws relative to salaries
of officials in cities of the first class; to the
end that those of them that arc extrava-
CANT may be reduced for bill giving the
councils of cities of the first class powers
to send for persons and papers in conduct
ing investigations, and for tho repeal of
the act of the act Of Assembly passed
April II, 1868: to define the duties and

in the city. With all this accomplished,

Some Needed Reforms.
"The now useless and expensive Legis-
ldtice Record should DO abolished or its
publication reduced to simple journal of
the session. Reform is necessary in the
public printing, where there is now lavish
waste. In the supply of stationery and
every other class of articles used in the
departments and Legislature there have
been gross favoritism in awarding the
contracts, expert knavery in preparing the
bids, fraud in the execution of the orders
and spoilation of the state treasury in buy
ing personal perquisites for officials. The
supplies of soap, buckets, brushes, brooms
Gc, can be cut down Is per cent. The
senatorial barber shop, maintained at the
pubic expense, might properly be abated;
at least there is no occasion to contract
for senatorial shaving mugs at $44.5O a
dozen during years when there is no ses-
sion of the Senate. These are the proper
subjects for party agitation from now
until January 1st, and the first duty of
the first Democratic caucus will be to
wrestle with them. We have overthrown
the spoils system Any resurrection of
it by our party will be deservedly the
death of the Democracy.''
