The EsJsng Hendricks.

Dayton JourEall
There is quiet laugh at the expense f
big doctors in In dianapolis. Ex-senator
Hendricks was recently reported critical
~ ill of erysipelas, with gangrenous
symptoms, certain, the great doctors of
indianapolis and Louis vile said, to carry
him to a speedy death. The Senator pre-
pared for his fate calmly. and resigne dly
waited for the grim messenger. But he
did not proceed to die. The day TO which
the semitic doctors limited his life a
blunt old Demodratic friend, who was n
country practitioner, came TO pay his dis
tinguished friend a farewell visit. He
looked at the erysipelas of the dying
statesman, and suddenly said. with an
expressive grunt: Nothing but bile
By Cd ~ The next day the statesman
was at the polls, voting the Democratic
ticket. The distinguished scientific ply
sicians are very quiet on the subject. VIC

JUDGE RULLurrs PL4N

We direct attention to the letter OF
Judge W. G. Bullitt, in this weeks Our
ier, submitting a plan for the reorgauEa-
tion of the Democratic party in this Dis-
trict. His plan refers the organiTalion
directly to the people through i primary
election, submitting that the present
county committees meet and authorize
The holding of primary elections 10 each
voting preeinet of each ~>aniy tsseect
members of the coup@y Democrats COM
mitiees, and thatthese new committees
directly chosepyby the people, proceed to
organize apd harmonic the party.
This iseertainly a correct and fair prop
ositisr, aud We think should be accepted
sMeerfally by the convention and ants
convention Democrats Il is precisely
he plan the Turner Democrats have been
demanding and therefore they must ap-
prove; and to the convention democrats,
we say the issue has been tried before the
people in three successive contests, and
the majority have condemned coventiOns,
and all true Democrats shoaId bow to the
majority.
We ask the District Democrats Com
mitiee to take notice of this suggestion,
and as they hold the unity and harmony
of the party, to, take steps to place the
party management in harmony with the
verdict of the people.
This plan is certain TO harmonize and
reunite the party, and this being accom-
plished, all good democrats should rejoice,
regardless of the individual interests or
a mbitious that may be interfered with.
To our mind, we cannot understand,
how any self respecting Democrat, can
any longer consent to serve as q commit
teeman when the people have so clearly
pronounced q ganist mis- acts. We believe
the committees to be composed of good
Democrats, who have acted conscientious
ly, but they should now bow 10 the people.

OF the Situation, as Eyinced in Yearn.
ing for Civil Service Reform.
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, November 13.--The
Republican continues its comments,
showing that the stalwarts, whom it
represents, appreciate the lesson of
the late election. To-day it says:
70 cut short the story, the ques-
ton in the Republican party for
several years past has been: Who
shall get Office? Now a party may
have leaders and disturbers. 1t may
contain organizers and disorganizers,
regulars and boilers, machine politi-
clans and reformers, but the great
body OF the people divide on ques>
tons, and when those who represent
party forget its origin
and quarrel over the bones
In the party kitchen, thew
"lii' after while, find themselves in
sole possession of the establishment
The Republicans who vote the ticket
at such times do so in the hope that
tne party may in the future again
represent the hopes and resolves of
the millions who ought to rule. If
our party leaders would now divine
the instinct and sympathize with the
aspirations of the people preparato-
ry to reorganization, they must not
seek knowledge from spoilsmen CALI
ing themselves party men, or spoils>
men calling themselves refol m .rs
Both are like the youth that thunder
ed at the playhouse in Shakespeare
time, and fought for bitten apples
until we can have some mightier is
sues than the slops of patronage
and the bitten apples of Office, we
an not resume business at the old
stand with any hope of success.
