From Secretary Manning's Albany Argus
Civil service reform has come to stay. There
will be no halt, no backward step under the
present administration. The offices have grown
to such an extent and the desire to hold office
has become so general that some barrier has be-
come necessary TO protect the appointing
power. The present system may have its i'm
projections Time and experience will correct
them. The proper course for all democratic
newspapers to pursue is to encourage bright
young democrats to attend the examinations.
1t they do this and pass they are sure to receive
appointments. The publication of the public
service can only be accomplished by the pres
political workers, who regard the offices of the
government as theirs on account OF partisan
services.
