Civil service reform is made direct Is
sue between the political parties for the
first time in New Jersey. The democrats
in their convention a week ago denounced
the 'sham methods Of the Civil Service
Commission in its pretended examinations
of candidates for place" thus putting
themselves distinctly on record against
the system of reform. Mr.. Albeit. in ac-
cepting the nomination, places himself in
full accord with the spirit of the plat
form by declaring in plain terms that if
he is elected he shall reward the men
"that do the work" of the campaign.
The republicans in theirplattorm congrat-
ulated the country on "the successful APP
plication Of the principles of genuine civil
service reform in the national admnistra-
tion," and favored the adoption of the
system in all branches of the State Govern
ment. There is no doubt that Judge Dix.
on will cordially accept tn doctrine of the
platform. The issue will therefore he dl-
rectly joined in the State of New Jersey,
and the people will have an opportunity
of showing whether they want reform or
not.
