ClvIL-sERvICE REFORM TO THE FORE
Tho Delaware Senator Thinks tho Kepubli-
can Party Is Broken Up-What Is
Demanded of tho Democrats.
Senator Bayard was in Philadelphia On
Thursday, and said that he was greatly
pleased with the result in his state. He
upon the result in New Castle
county as somewhat surprising to him in
that the figures show that the full Repub-
lican vote was cast for Deck Harring-
tons ticket, whereas it had been hoped
that the large element Of high respecta-
bility in tho Republican party in New
Castle county would repudiate the shame
less attempts to make Harrington the pO-
litical boss of the state. On election day
in Delaware Senator Bayard stood at tho
polls in his ward all day long, and
worked as hard as the most enthusiastic
ward politician. In regard to tho national
aspect of Tuesdays election the Delaware
senator said that he did not doubt that
tho effect will DO to break up the Republi-
can party i'll the United States in fact,
that tho election clearly shows that the
Republican party is in the same position
as tho Wing party was in 1854, when it
went to pieces, with the difference that
there is now no such great question in
vOlved in American politics as that which
gave lilo to the party which took tho place
Of the routed Wings.

success could not have been less dreaded
than tho return to power of the carpet bag
government of the Reconstruction days.
The prostitution Of high official power to
place tho people Of the South under, if
possible, more cruel political taskmasters
than they were cursed with in the high

Malone has made of Virginia, it was plan

Southern states. All good men must re-
jOice that such plan of Republicanizing
the South could not succeed"
Ono thing which tho senator expressed
himself rs quite sure of was that the cleo.
tiOn everywhere is tremendous rcbuke
of the administration and its open repudi
tiOn of civil reform, and that it brings to
tho front more prominent than anything
else the reSistless demand for a complete
reform of tho civil service. He did not
expect to see this in the national admins
tratiOn while Arthur's term lasts, but in
the different states at once there would
be radical and salutary change in
the administration of tho pub
lie service, and tho next national
Administration, in view of Tuesdays re-
suit, must inevitably be an administration,
the first purpose of which will be to es.
