MR.. cLEVELAND,s CAPITULATIoN.

There can be but one intelligent and candid
Interpretation placed upon President Cleve
lands labored deliverance to the public on the
civil-service law. 1t is a square, unequivocal
men, who have been hitherto in the way of
the enforcement of the law, that hereafter its
administration will be more in Difference to
their "prediudices." No honest and truthful
man can say that the Presidents talk indi-
Gates step forward; it is clear step back
ward. He says plainly that the
law and the rules will not be en-
forced as heretofore; and he takes the
trouble to instance and argue the case of Ster
ling whose appointment weighmaster in
the New York custom house evoked such a
storm of indignation from Democrats and Re
publcans alike that it had to be peremptorily
suspended. The purpose of the President is
to show how a man like Sterling can be APP
pointed despite the civil-service rules; and he
will be appointed, and so will scores and hun
dreds of others like him, whose characters
would debar them from the public service
but whose political "work" must be
recognized. Men like Sterling, who in
examination may stand at the foot of the
list, are to be Certified" and the appointing
power may select them because of "other
qualities" than those proven by the tests of
the civil-service rules. If this is not opening
the back door clear to the wall, what is it9
The President has capitulated to the spoils-
men. The fact that he came to Indiana,
where there is absolutely no Democratic SEN
timent for civilservice reform, and selected
an old FOSSIL Endorsed by Mr. Hendricks, Mr.
Voorhees, and Governor Gray, is proof Of this
CAPT tulation. Mr.. Hendricks has led the attack
upon the civi-service reform feature of the
administration. That has been recogni zed all
over the country, and yet the President comes
to the State Of Hendricks andselects his man
for the head of the Civil-service Commission
And in addition to this, the President of the
OnlleQ OlaleS QeScenQS from MS place TO make
an argument for the appointment of man
like Sterling, whose character is so bad as to
force even the Democrats Of New York to
clamor against the deep damnation of his Sc
lection. But Sterling will 60 in; and he will
go in through the hole kicked in the civil
service rules by the President himself, the OBJ
sequious Civl-service Commissioners standing
by, with hat in hand, consenting.
The Journal is free to say that Mr.. Cleve-
land has held out longer against his party
than we believed possible. For eight months
he has been obstinate and unyielding. But the
New York election has had its influence The
glory of the mugwump has departed, and Mr..
Cleveland, however reluctantly, has thrown
up the sponge, and puts his administration on
the Dan Manning "Gene" Higgins saloon
keeper -Sterling plane. The inevitable has
come at last

THE cry of the Atlanta Constitution that
the South must be kept solid as a rebuke to

ment but for the solidity of the South and
the murderous and fraudulent methods by
which it was brought about. It would simply
be persisting in fraud and bloodshed because

In reply to the mugwump assertion that
the Conkling faction defeated Davenport the
New York Commercial Advertiser quietly
points to the figures, which show that in the
districts which are considered the strongholds
of the stalwarts there were decided Republic
an gains. Oneida county, for instance, in
which Utica, Conklings residence, is situat-
ed and in which Cleveland had majority of
80, gives Davenport plurality of LOGO.
Clearly the unhappy mugwumps will have to
look elsewhere for safe hole to crawl into.

issues will be resumed at the old stand.

The Springfield Republican, an independ
ent paper from way back, has the good sense
to say;
"While Mr. Hill was not civil-service re-
former like Cleveland, the independent de-
mand that Cleveland would be best supported
by electing a Republican on platform strong
ly denouncing the administration was too par
adoxical to silt the mass of voters. u
The journalistic leaders of that wing have
thus learned that the balance of voting
strength does not rest on a knife blade every
year"

pass, in the good year 1885, that the President

months to retreat to his back Office and double,
