G0RHAM CONVERTED.
He Wants Civil Service Reform and No
Assessments.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The National Re-
publican, long known as the most pronounced
Of StalTart organs-editor, George c. Gogham
has IN article which, If it accurately repre-
sents he sentiment of that faction of the party
of which The Republican has always been the
organ, promises well for party unity this
winter Among other things Mr. Gorham
says: "Ihe voice of the people may not
always be the voice of God, but it is in this
country the voice OF supreme command If
the Republican party leaders will exhibit the
rareluality of self-abnegation, and viii make
no esort to save their individual political for
tune at the expense of the whole concern,
and if they will determine not to attempt the
rebuilding of any mere factional dynasty,
then ont of this ne tile of defeat it viii pluck
the flower of victory. x The Republicans
in congress will have to begin the new work.
The people have ordered legislation concern
ing the civil service. They are not content
with having the Office held during the pleas
ure Of the appointing power. They want
fixed tenure, and removals only for cause.
They do not want much machinery, nor will
they be willing to see tests for entrance to the
public service which would rule out the chill
dren of the poor whose only education is that
received in the public schools. All pressure
upon officeholders for political contributions
should be forbidden by law. If there has
been none, as we claim is the case,
then the legislation will be no re-
hectl0n on the managers of the
recent campaign. If there has been such
pressure, then the legislation will but meet
the righteous demand of these people Con-
gress must also make great reductions in tax
alton. The internal revenue system and the
tariff should both undergo radical changes.

short session in getting even" with anybody
of soliciting favors for friends, would be i'd

Col. ID. Ii. Henderson Denying That
ANY COmpulsiOn Was Used.

Col. ID. b. Henderson Denying That
Any COmpulsiOn Was Used.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Nov. 15.-Col D. B. Hender-
son, late secretary of the Republican congress
sional campaign committee, arrived this morn
ing. He has no apologies to offer for
the assessment work done by him, or
the committee of which he was secretary in the
late campaign. He says he only followed the
outline of the policy adopted under Lincoln,
and every administration since. The amount,
2 per cent, was fixed upon as the minimum,
and even this was in no case compulsory.
Contributions from women and boys to whom
circulars had been Inadvertently sent were
invariably returned, and all parties who OBJ
jected to paying on the ground of poverty
were excused Not one in three to
whom circulars were sent responded,
and the colonel says he. does not
know those who paid and those who did not.
Not one employe was discharged for refusing
to comply with the assessment, which was
never in the form of a command, but merely
as request. He lays the blame of the defeat
largely to the quarrels among the leaders and
the foisting of moral questions like prohibition
on the shoulders of the party, which induced
$4,000 Ohioan and 500, 600 other Republican
voters to STAY at home.

A Financial Panic Feared in France.
PARIS, Nov. 13-There is much anxiety
among tnanciers and business men in this
city, who consider the present situation Of the
ministry very precarious, and if it should be
overthrown they fear the Anarchists would
profit by the impotence of the government to
find Successors. The Journal des Debats
says the financial situation of France is
very bad and that, if the recent disorders
continue, it may become dangerous.
There is no element of public
finances which will not be affected
taxes, credit and confidence, all alike.
This change The Debats attributes to the gov
eminent, as the chamber Of deputies since 1889
has been drifting without definite policy,
adopting measures the reverse of those they
should adopt, thus disquieting all interests.
The Debats regards the financial crisis as be-
ing definite. and urges the chamber to exam
inc its conscience. The Debats also declares
the moment inopportune to agitate revision
of the constitution, which is directed exclu-
sively against the senate, and which praises
as offering guarantee Of stability.
