A Democratic Correspondent Asks the Office
Seekers to Wait Little While.
Washington Special to Louisville Courier-Journaf.
If all signs do not fail. the Goth of June will
be bad, bad day for several thousand Repub-
lcan political Office holders in this country. It
is the close of the fiscal year, and on that day
the public books will be balanced Then, if
your correspondent is not very much misin-
formed, the accounts of thousands of worthless
employees will be batnced, and they will be
made to walk the plank. This statement is not
made for the purpose of encouraging the boys
who are waiting patiently for an Office, nor is it
made to excuse the apparent slow progress the
President is making in turning the raseals out.
The President is not so slow his critics in the
party seem to think. He has not spent an
idle hour since he took his Office. He has in
deed been a very busy man, and has done great
deal of hard and honest work. From the start
he has been actuated by the highest motives,
and has honestly and sincerely tried to give to
the public good government, honestly and
economically administered he has set himself
about to do this, and to accomplish that purpose
he is compelled to move slowly and surely.
His first duty was thorough and complete
organization of the great departments. and up to
this time he has succeeded admirably There is
everything ON earth in splendid organization,
and after that the rest is matter of detail.
Not day passes at Washington that you do
not hear of an important change in one
of tho departments; this man or that
man is reduced to the ranks or
removed and better man is substituted in his
place. These important changes which are con-
stantIy occurring cannot be made in week, or
month. or year. 1t takes time to find out
incompetent employees and turn them out, and
it takes much longer time in finding good and
competent men to fill their places In the latter
duty the President has already been sorely
tried, and in several instances extremely vexed.
He has a right to expect that men holding high
and honored positions in his party should only
recommend for Office men Of the highest charac-
ter, fully competent to discharge the duties Of the
Office for which they seek. This has not always
beeu done, and the result is that several appoint
ments hayo been made which have been disap
pointing. But on the whole the appointments Of
tho President have been good ones aud 1t Is safe
