New YORK. Nov 27-The Star of yester-
day gives the following timely and sensible
advice to President-elect Cleveland: Even
thus early it begins to be evident that Presi-
dent Cleveland is bound to have trouble over
the different ideas Of civil service reform
cherished by the conflicting elements which
united for his election. Mr.. Hendricks in
his Brooklyn speech, has squsrely laid down
his Ideas on this interesting subject. 'Let a
man come to be president Of the United
States, he says, 'and let true men be called
around him and aid him in the
public service. Let these men re-
solve that the only qualifications
for Office shall be honesty and fitness for the
service, and then you have civil service re-
form" This is the doctrine of Andrew
Jackson, and it is held by great majority
Of the Democratic party, and its most illus
trious leaders, Bayard, Thurman, Hancock,
TildeR, Randall, Mcdonald and preponder-
aDce OF the character and intellect of the
party agree with Mr.. Hendricks, that DEM
ecratic administration can do its best on y
when supported by faithful and sym
