with communications from the heads of
several executive departments of the gov
enment respecting the practical workings
of the law under which the commission had
been acting The good results therein fore
Swallowed have been more than realized The
system has fully answered the anticipations
of its friends in securing competent and
faithful public servants, and in protecting
the appointing officers Of the government
from the pressure OF personal i'm
portuaity, and from the labor
of examining the claims and pre-
tentions of rival candidates for public
employment. The law has had the unquali
fed support of the president and Of the
heads Of the several departments, and the
members of the commission have per
formed thor duties with zeal and fidelity.
Their report will shortly be submitted and
will be accompanied by such recommends
tions for charging the scope of TIE exist

ClevelaMd's Reform Principles.
HIS FRIENDS BELIEVE HE WILL CARRY OUT THE
CIVIL SERVICE PROGRAM FAITHFULLY.

Correspondence New York Times.
KINGSTON, n. Y, November 19.-LawyerS from
Ulster and other Hudson river counties In attend.
ance at the court OF oyer and terminer, which Is
now in session here when not directly interested
In trying case talk politics. Times correspond
ent learned to-day that nearly all OF the demo-
cratic lawyers believe the President-elect will
carry out the civil service program when he comes
to sit in the chair OF the chief executive OF the
nation which he has as governor OF the state. Ex-
Attorney General Schoonmaker, who is member
of the civil service reform commission indorses the
views OF Dorman B. Eaton, chairman OF the
United States commission. Judge SchoOnmaker is
credited with saying, by lawyers who have con-
versed on the subject with him, that the wisest
course the democracy can pursue is conservative
and concfliatory one. He believes that the capable
and efficient government employees, other than
heads of departments and those who have made
probability retain their present positions under
Grover Clevelands administration.
The Times says editorially In regard to the above:
"The views attributed In our Kingston dispatch
to Judge SchoOnmaker regarding MI. Cleveland's
credited to that gentleman. AS member OF the
civil service commission OF the state Judge SchoO-
maker has been familiar with Nr. Cleveland's
course and with his opinions, and he has found the
governor in full sympathy with his own strict
fidelity to the reform. His estimate OF MIR. Cleve-
3nd's probable action as President Is therefore OF
special value. The judge represents large body
OF conservative and sensible democrats who under
stand the political wisdom OF adherence to the re-
advantage TO the country OF maintaining it In its
integrity. And It is precisely IN this class in his
own party that Mr.. Cleveland will find his strongest
SUPPORT"
