Gratis civil service rcformcIs. The South
ern Democrats have nothing TO lose 10y
civil service reform but all To gam said
one Catawba man 10 me. ''Onr party has
in it nearly all the men of fitness and char
acter III the South, and tins being fact
we can lose nothing by law that rccog
niZcs man of this character rather than
a man whose only claim, is that he hollcr
ed for the party Let the politicians leave
Mr.. Cleveland alone" said he, ''and he

one that will benefit the country, elevate
politics and foster and protect our best III
terests."
Catawba county Is not "A political world
within itself, nor does it hope 10 frame
issues for political parties, All it wants 10
do (and this it will do is to roll up the
biggest Democratic majority of any coun
ty in the State, and then when II sees an
opportunity for reforming politics, IT be
lieves in that kind of Democracy that not
only promises reform but works To attain it.
