THE PRESIDENTS TASK.
A Difficult Problem In the ReOrgsniza
tiOn of the CiYiI Service Commission.


From the PhiLadslDhiG Times.
WASHINGTON, Oct. The President
was closeted for long time to-day with
Civil Service Commissioners Eaton and
Gregory. Yesterday q similar conference
was held. The business is understood to
be the complete REORGANIZATION of the
commission. Prof. Gregory has rendered
his resignation, to take effect ON the selec-
ton Of his successor. 1t was Mr.. Greg
ory's'deslre to have retired some time
ag', but Mr.. Eaton suggested that it
would be well TO wait until his own case
was disposed OF, so as not to unnecessari-
ly embarrass the President. There are
indications that Mr.. Gregory has now
asked tne President to name his sue
cessOr. There Is no evidence of any such
desire on the part of Judge ThOmRn. He
will be fired unceremOniOusly when the
President gets his new Civil Service Com
mission slate ready.

The inauguration of Grover Cleve
land as President Of the United
States, on Wednesday last. March 4
1885, was a glorious day, and ont
long to be remembered by all liberty
loving people, as it marksa change in
American politics.
After "a years Of misrnle, oppres
sion and despotism The country has al
last been wrested from the clutches
of set of vampires and political
tricksters, the likes of which are IN.
unparalleled in the history Of the most
despotic government that ever exist.
ed, and it Is useless to here dwell on
the causes of the overthrow of this
disgraceful state of affairs, as the rea-
sons are too patent to the minds of
the American people.
To-day the American people stand
yindicated against the oft repeated
charges made by the Republican
press, ms untitled for self-government,
as laid down by Democratic states
men, as they have by an overwhelm-
ing vote elected and installed as Chic f
Magistrate of this Republic a Dem
oerat and one who dares ignore
the dictates of eorrupting infuen-
ces and the demands Of designing
demagoguery, and will WELD the good
Offices Of the Government for the
benefit OF the whole people, regard
less Of political sentiment and reli-
gious belief,
The American people are to be
congratulated upon the selection of
Mr. Cleveland as the Chief Magistrate
Of this Nation. His ideas OF free gov
crnment come nearer conforming to
Democratic doctrines, as laid down by
our forefatbers, than any President
since the days Of Washington, Mon
roe and jefferson, as in his inaugural
address he-declares that this govern
ment is founded on the good old
Democratic axiom Of the greatest
good to the greatest number" and
that the Chief Magistrate is still one
Of The people, and not an autocrat to
rule with an iron hand.
President CleyeIand's inaugural
address, as whole, is an able, digni-
fed and slatesmaniike document, and
will command the admiration of all
those fayoring an honestan econom-
ical administration of public affairs,

platform as adopted by the National
Democratic Convention, which guar

o'clock, The jury in the Ford case re-
tired ID deliberate, aand in less time
than half an hour they returned into
court with a verdict Of guilty, as
charged, against Pat Ford and John
Murphy, and found Tbos. J. Ford,
W. L. Caulield and w. II. Buckley
guilty of mapslanghter. This, in our
opinion, is an anomalous verdict and
entirely contrary to the evidence ad-
duced Judge Ford was either the
prime conspirator in the assassination
OF Murphy Or he most certainly was
entirely innocent. If gnilty at all,
the was guilty Of murder. aud should
have go been adjudgea; and if he
was not guilty of murder he should
haYeibeen acquitted, and how the jury
ever worked itself up TO the man
slaughter point we are at loss to
