John Kelly's speech at the Tammany Hall
County Convention in New York will send
SILVER down the spine of every democratic
supporter of Grover Cleveland Mr. Kelly
said:
It is well known that this organization was
not in favor of Grove Cleveland, and 50 clear
ly expressed itself at the Chicago Convention.
We said and believed that it would be an I'M
wise nomination, if made. I Will not criticise
Gov. Cleveland for his lack of qualifications
for the position Of first officer of the general
government The community has done that.
It would not be proper for ME to say that he is
al unfit man. am not going into particulars
of his public life, because it has been such
very short one We cannot overlook the fact
chat large number Of people in this city aud
State who have in former years supported the
Democratic ticket have allenated themselves
and declare themselves opposed to the Demo-
cratic candidates. Let us hope that this has
been done in ignorance Of the situaticf,. What
ever errors Gov. Cleveland may have COM
mitted, let us hope that tbs appeals for labor
will receive consideration. Let him say. and
no will probably say, that he has made mis-
takes.
This F:enthusiastic" Endorsement of Cleve-
land comes from the man who in 1879 was a

since the war. About the middle OF
December they commenced arriving

some bronchial or lung complaint

doctors, and they turn their steps In
the direction of Florida or Louisiana

New Orleans and the Mississippi

Mr.. Blaine.

Mr. Blaine has for nearly twenty years
been. next to the great generals of
the war. the most conspicuous personal
presence in the country. In every one of
the great measures before the country
during that time. ne has been foremost.
His wise counsel has ever been sought
and his lead followed in the great ques-
ton of finance. He is the most eloquent
and persuasive of orators and great in de-
bate. His influence has kept the Ameri-
can people in the right paths. In the
Speakers chair of the House OF Repre-
scntatives he was the most graceful and
efficient presiding officer the country ever
saw, excepting possibly Henry Clay. He
stands before the people to day as a rep
resentatve of things OF which that flag is
symbol. He is a representative Ameri-
can from the crown of his head to the
sole OF his feet. He is no "Jingo" but
an American of the John Quincy Adams,
the Thomas Jefferson and the George
Washington type George F. Hoar at
Worcester Aug PAN.

"other is evasive, reluctant, incomplete.
at contains no Endorsement of the exist
ling law. and would not be crossed by its
repeal. 1t is the very terms used by
democrats who opposed and ridiculed
.'the existing law. Mr.. Voorhees, has
FUSED in public speech much the lam
''guage of the platform, and yet he de-
..nounced the civil service law in the
Senate as an aggravation of existing
.'evils, and voted against it. Mr. Hen
'.dricks, fresh from the convention, and
zone of its nominees, declares, in sub
.'stance, that he knows no way of testing
''the honesty of the present incumbents
LOT the offices, except by turning them
'.out and putting in democrats. He is
"sure that at least $4,000 should 60 at
.'once"
If we question Mr.. Blaine we find that
he is fully abreast of his party on the sub
iect of reform. As a Congressman he was
the first to introduce competitive examina-
tons in tie appointment OF military and
naval cadets. He never made the distri-
button of offices stepping stone for his
own preferment. Those who know his
inner thoughts know that he regarded, as
a congressman. the Offices under his con-
troll as source of weakness rather than
strength to himself. on account of the
strife and i'll feeling which they often oc-
casioned, and would have preferred to be
nd of them altogether. He is on record
in his Winterport speech as favoring re-
form. and what is more, he means what
ne said.
Now which can best be trusted as re-
former, Mr.. Blaine with his own words
and acts in favor of reform, standing upon
platform declaring without ambiguity or
evasion in favor of reform, and with
party behind him that will support him in
promoting reform; or Grover Cleveland
upon an evasive. deceptive platform, with
party at his back hungry for office, thor
oughly believing in the spoils doctrine,
and as thoroughly resolved that every re-
publican shall be driven out of office if
Cleveland is elected, and democrats be in
stalled in the places the former occupy?
If Mr.. Cleveland were saint-which he
is very far from being-he would be ut
terly helpless, it elected, to accomplish
ANYTHING towards reforming the public
service for whatever his desires might be,
his party would absolutely compel him
to distribute the offices according to the
old Jacksonian maxim, to the victors
belong the spols." The hope of civil
service reform is in the election of
Blaine and Logan.

Civil Service Reform.

Judged by their acts the republicans are
far ahead OF the democrats in the matter
of civil service reform. Out of Office the
democrats pirate about civil service reform
in office they hold strictly to the old dem
ocratic doctrine that "to the victors be-
long the spoils." Whenever they have
the opportunity to remove republicans
from office and put democrats in their
places they do not fail to do it. They are
Jus, as firmly rooted in the faith to-day as
the party ever was that the offices belong
to them when they are in power and
should be parceled out to their friends.
Get at the core of a bourbon's sentiment
and it will be found to be exactly as we
have stated He can play at civil service
reform to help him into office. but inward
Is he ridicules the idea of any innovation
upon the old Jacksonian rule in the dis
tribution OF the offices.
Mr. Peudleton of Ohio put confidence
in democratic professions in relation to
civil service reform, and accordingly pre-
scented a reform bill in the Senate But
his democratic associates generally oppos-
ed the bill, which at length was passed
by republican votes and when Mr. PEN
dletons term as senator expired he was
denied an election simply because of his
action rs a civil service reformer. This
was test OF the respective sincerity of
the two parties that ought to tie aeh any
one which party is most friendly to re
torn.
If we examine the platforms of The two
parties we shall still farther find evidence
OF the fact that the republican party can
be better trusted in this reform than the
democratic. In speech at Indianapolis
the other evening Senator Harrison touched
upon this subject. "Mr. Curtis, Mr.
/ Schurz, and many of their associates. ="
said he. have been understood to be civil
service reformers. Are they willing to
''have their sincerity judged by COM
"parison of the two platforms upon the
subject of the civil service? The one is
"a full. frank, candid Endorsement of the
''civil service law now on the statute
'book. and pledge TO extend the prin-
'oiple of that law till public offices shall

more than Grover toward supporting the

from the war on that account. have al

He never went into society. and his assocl-

persons of high standing in the community.
A good many things that were known about
him were kept from me.

investigate the matter and find the story as
told is substantially true. am assured by
persons of high standing, such as Mr.. Flint.
the head of the firm for whom the mother of
the child worked, that she was woman above
reproach Of course this will hurt him
good deal, and feel sorry as well as indig-
nant over the matter. He won't be elected
and he will not carry Erie County. do not
think Grover is qualified To be President of
