Confessed HYPOCRITES.

The degree of credit which the public gen
eralv have given to the Democratic profess
sions of zeal for Civil Service reform is fairly
shown by the tone Of comment upon the recent
Democratic successes and the prospect OF their
carving the country In 1884. 1t might be
expected that Republicans should put no faith
in them and that Republican Office-holders,
however competent, experienced and faithful
should be in something of worry over pros
pectiye dismissal, notwithstanding all the Dem
ocratic protestations that their coming to power
should be the Inauguration of a new era in
politics, in which there should DO no removals
except for cause and no appointments except
upon the grounds of fitness and capacity Nor
is it very strange that the general public, hav-
ing had considerable experience OF Democratic
professions before election and practice after,
and putting small confidence in them accord
lngly, should take it for granted that Dem
ocratic success in 1884 would be followed by
general overturning in the Federal offices, from
the heads of departments down to messengers
and scrub women. But 1t is a little remarkable
that the Democrats themselves should 80 soon
throw off their disguise, and almost before the
ink is dry in which their promises were writ
ten assume that no one ever suspected them
of an intention to carry them out.
Those gentlemen, who were so profuse OF
promises before the election to put down the
practice OF making removals from Office for
political reasons, and appointing men to Office
as q reward for party services, were chuckling
within twenty-four hours after the results of
the election were known over the grand sweep
of Republican oficeholders that would pres
entity he made and the distribution of places
among Democratic partisans. There is no
place within the gift Of Governor elect Cleve-
land. no matter how we'll and capably filed by
Republican at this moment, that there are not
| scores of candidates for already; and there is
not mothers son of them that does not base
his expectation and his claim upon simple
party service. 1t Is just so with the places that
| fail within the appointment OF Governor-eect
Butler OF Massachusetts,, Governor- elect
| Waller of Connecticut, and all the other Dem
ocratic functionaries who came in on last
weeks tidal WAVE, including the Democratic
majority in the next Congress. There IL nc

the victors instead of clinchng what they had
accomplished by pressing their advantage
along practical lines, did nothing except con-
graduate one another. The consequence was
that the vanquished rallied, reestaplished
the disestablished machine, went to work ike
80 many ants and beavers, and turned up
strong as ever at Saratoga.

he may be in the North. is popular III MS own
section for his fiery Bourbon temperament
and will be likely to divide the support Oh the
Kentucky delegation with his competitor.

matched pair, and enter the race with about

Does not the thought Of the reader turn ins'lnc-
lively to the names of William NJ. Springer, OF
Illinois, and Samuel S. Cox, of New YORK 7
They both fairly prance into the arena
Springer has perhaps little more bounce than
his companion, but In all other respects they
are evenly endowed. They are both amusing
and both look upon craftsmanship as primarily
intended to contribute to the enjoyment as well
as the welfare of tho public. Springer has
Illuminated platform upon which he bases his
claims. 1t embraces every principle known TO
current politics. and upon each the gitted can
didate takes position which Is not calculated
to hurt anybody's feelings. He is in favor OF
lust enough reform of all kinds to make every
body happy. Mr.. Cox has not defined his
position vet but it Is safe to anticipate tnat u
will not be unlike his rivals On one point he
can be depended upon to come out strongly ana
pull ahead Of Springer. He is known az the
deputy tail-twister of the British Lion, though
he has hitherto been a little shy in his support
of his leader, Mr.. Robinson. But now that
Robinson has been reelected by humping
majority and is pledged to wiring the British
Lions neck, the time has arrived for Mr.. Cox
to take firm stand. He can run as the Speaker
who will make every body happy except the
British Lion. That accursed animal he may
declare eternal enmty to, may promise to APP
point Robinson committee OF one to secure Dis
determination, and may agree to reserve a
sufficient space in front of the Speakers desk
for the wringng process to be performed.
1t will be seen that the contest will be in
teresting and somewhat exciting. TX the party
makes up its mind that an avOwed free trade
policy will be premature and dangerous, Mr.
Randall will find favor as the most expert
stradder of the question. Ii it decides To stanu
or fall with undiluted and unconcealed free
trade, Mr.. Hurd will most probably be the
chosen man. If it decides to waive the issue
entirely and to conduct Congress on the gem
eral principle of circus, Mr.. Springer will
inevitably be put in the chair. If it decides on
modified circus programme, with semi
tragic British Lion feature, Mr. Cox will go to
the fore It makes no difference to us
whether the choice falls upon Springer or Cox,
but the party will miss one of the greatest OPP
portunities Of its life if it does not take enc OF
the other OF these genial and agile statesmen.

The last nominations sent to the Board OF
Aldermen do not seem TO have been based upon
partlsanship. None Of these men, we believe,
gave Mayor Grace any support in his efforts
against the local ticket of the United De-
mocracy in the recent canvass. They are all
Democrats, naturally, but on the whole they
are good enough to make it pretty certain that
the Board of Aldermen will not confirm them
Mr.. Bixby has acted honestly and with ability
as police justice, and there is no reason why
he should not continue to fill the Office. Mr. NJ.
j. Costello's career as an Assemblyman was
creditable to him. He would probably preside
over police court efficiently. Mr.. John ID.
Crimmins is q contractor. His business ex-
perience has hardly fitted him to act as an ideal
Park Commissioner, but he would be an inn
provement upon Mr. Smith Z. Lane who has
long been only stumbling block and rock OF
offence in the Board. Mr. MacLean is always a
politician in whatever position he may be.
However, he has not made the worst Park
Commissioner we have ever had.

Mr.. Gladstone's statement in regard to Egyp-
tan affairs does not throw flood OF hight
upon the situation. 1t was pretty well under
stood that the present state of things was pro-
yisional. That an effort must DO made soon
to conclude convention relative to tempo
rary arrangement for the security OF the
country was also reasonably certain. and nobody
could have been surprised to learn that the Khe-
dive would have tOfoot the bills of keeping the
~. 900 troops in Egypt. The rage of the Con-
servatiyes at the Premier's reticenee is natural
enough. While burning to strike hard blows
Mt the Government, they can find no fault at
present except in general way. Sir Stafford
Northcote must be particularly anxious to be-
Gin his scolding. If an opportunity is not
Given to him soon he may find himself ousted
from his position as leader of the Opposition.
