APPOINTMENTS 70 BE MADE IN THE soUTH-A DEMO-
Graf WHO THINKS HE SEES SIGNS OF sHREwD RE-
PUBLICAN AANAaEMENr-A REPORTED PLAN FOR
SECURING THE ELECTORAL VOTES OF SOUTH ERN
STATES &C.
Democrats say than an important question in the
coming campaign will be whether or not the civil
service laws may be SO manipulated as TO effect
political ends The republicans are already making
point upon the claim that the democratic party
Is opposed to "cvil servi.e REFORM and coupled
with this claim the democrats say that the work
OF the civil service commission may be so directed
as to prove most powerful weapon in the hands
OF Stirewd politicians. Patronage may be distribu-
ted through the south, they say, much more effec-
than 1t ever was under the I'd practices. Patron
age given IN this way Is an innocent Offering, and
being apparently gratuitouS. It will be ten times
more potent as a factor in the campaign. The WHY
this is to be effected is thus explained by demo-
crat who inks he sees before him a danger
threatening the loss OF one or more OF the southern
states to the democrats. ''Just at this critical mo-
ment, when Blaine is looking towards the south to
make up for any losses sustained through the ac-
tion OF the independent boiler he says. 1.-THE
civil service commission announces that much OF
the patronage created by the past session OF Con-
greSS must 60 to The southern states: il being now
their turn IUr recognition under the law. Mind.
do not mean that the commissioners Intentionally
arranged so as to have the appointments go to the
south at this particular time; 1t Is rather the
suit Of circumstances, but 1t will have an effect
upon the election all the same. The democrats
aCteu uiiWlsely IN creating so mucn patronage
when they know that its use would effect political
ends They knew that the civil service commission
would have 10 distribute the appointments through
the south II they complied with the law, and it
would have some effect upon the election, yet they
created more new government positions than has
any Congress since LEGO, except in the extraOrdt-
nary case OF the establishment of the new Pension
Office or course the examinations viii be fairly con-
Quoted, and as the democrats in the south are, as
rule better educated than the republicans in the
same section, the appointments will go largely to
our party. This renders the STU ton still more
dangerous, for as soon as the appointments all
made, the stump-speakers viii go TO North Caro-
Una, Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana, and argue
the fairness OF the republican party, calling upon
then say, Gentlemen, to vote the democratic party
IN, Is to vote this noble reform out By this means
they have q chance to carry two or three southern
states They are now laying the foundation for
this work by creating the impression. aud making
u widespread, that the democrats, and particularly
Hendricks, are openly declaring that the civil SER

The Democratic National COmmitte
SENATOR GORMAN NOT A CANDIDATE FOR THE CHAIR
MANsHIP-THE CONTEST BETWEEN MEssKs. BARNUM
AND WALLACE
Senator German declares that he is not candi-
date for the chairmSnship OF the national demo-
cratic committee and that he could not accept the
place II 1t were offered TO him He says his duties as
chairman OF the congressional executive committee
will keep him busy. He has never offered himself
as candidate Tor chairman Of the national
committee and the talk OF his narne in that con-
nect1on grew out OF the fact that friends had sg-
geSted him as the man for the place. He had not
been consulted about 1t at all.
1t Is now thou ,ht that ex-senator Wallace will
probably be elected by acclamation, as ii Is not
DslleVed that Mr. Barnrm wants Il reelection
When the national committee met here last Febru-
he would be glad to be relieved Of
his. duties as chairman. He was In poor health
and had been for some time. and had talked or
NSlgning, but had concluded to wait until the
organization OF the new committee and get out
then At Chicago he had not changed his mind
Dut as his health has improved he may have con-
cluded TO hold on to the position, ii lie can. The
Thursday morning for organization, and IL Mr.. Bar
mum does not appear as a candidate, Mr.
Wallace will not probably have any oppo-
sittOn. II both OF them want the place the In
dcItions are that there will be some sort Of
arrangement before the meeting OF the commit tee
to get one or the other off the track. The party
man gers are anxious to avoid any contest or any
thing having the appearance OF division. For the
sake OF harmony they want the committee to Or
ganze without jar, and hence 1t is probable that
only single candidate for chairman will be pre-
Sented.
