aims IND LOHSEG

Two questions competed for priority OF atten-
ton in the last Presidential campaign. One
body of voters urged that financial questions
ought TO have precedence that the tariff and
the state of the finances affected the welfare OF
all classes: and that the condition Of industry
and trade proved the need of decision so en-
nbatic as to be final in favor of the Republican
party. Had this class of questions governed
the votes of the people, there can be no doubt
the Republican party would have prevailed
But another body of voters insisted that what
they called administrative reform was the
CRYING need of the time. Some were gross and
reckless in charges, and declared that the
public service was full of r0ttenness, and that
the rascalsn must be turned out. Others con-
ceived that the one thing needful was Civil
Service reform. Giving them credit for full
sincerity in all their professions, they were
convinced that no other matter was so i'm
portant as to purify and elevate the service by
a better selection of officers, and that MIR. Cleve-
land was a Heaven-sent agent to accomplish
this great work and to free the public service
from partisanship. These prevailed. Accord
ing to their view, whatever has occurred
otherwise is of small account if Civil Service
reform moves forward, if craftsmanship is
