National Republican., 1885-05-23
CURRENT COMMENT.

=
Colorado was indisoreet enough TO offer in |
the national commercial convention n
resolution TO tho effect that tho interests |
OF the country required tho continued |
coinage of silver. Naturally, II was de- |
feated. The events of the past few |
months have changed public opinion |
upon the silver question to such an ex-
tent that the success of resolution Of |
this character was believed to be very
impossible But SO overwhelming defeat |
as is reported was hardly hoped for by
the best friends of the honest dollar, and
that the southern sentiment In favor of
silver should have diminished so consider
ably will, doubtless bo the most surpris-
ing and gratifying feature in tho vote.--

civil service reform under Cleveland

behaved themselves in Office, and had
shown efficiency in tho discharge of duty2
Is IL not certain that IL II had been pro-
claimed by Mr.. Cleveland during the cam
paign that If elected he would construe
tho civil service law TO mean to turn out
none but the inefficient and dishonest and
couspicuously partisan In Office among
Republicans that ho would never have
been olected2 Blaine would have beaten
him by fifty or hundred electoral votes.
