Logan on Civil Service Reform.


Speaking of civil service at banquet given
to him in Boston, the Hon. John A. Logan,
late defeated candidate for Vice President,
said
The law is now being construed to the effect that
q person who voted the Republican ticket at the
last election committed a crime against the peace
and dignity of the Democratic party-a new oilehce'
heretofore unknown TO law or politics, to wit Of
fensive partisanship.
That is not true, nor has 1.-THE semblance OF
truth. Logan did not intend to deceive any
body, but his passion ran away with his senses,
as it usually does when he speaks of the Dem
ocratic party. Logan knows that federal
officers, under Republican rule, have been
selected more for their capacity for partisan
work than for official duties. Partisan work has
been expected of them, and even enforced,
under penalty of discharge, from those who
had grown tired of the business. Logan knows
that they were Systematically bled for cam
paign funds, and threatened With decapitation
unless they submitted to the disgraeeful ex-
action He knows that many men were car
red on government pay rolls whose services
were mostly of campaign character. Every
once nOluers HedTlyi WAS OhCuSlF0t OlthSi
from choice or eompulsion. They manipu-
lated primaries and conventions in their own
party, and were very oflicious and offensive
in times of registration and at elections. The
manipulators of election returns in Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina, were all reward
ed by good government positions for their
rascality and the one whose capacity was the
greatest for political work of questionable
character was the one best suited for a federal
position Besides, the courts were pretty
sure to declare not guilty those who unlaw
fully interfered with elections The federal
office holders that were not oficious and of
fensive are but small percentage Of the
whole, and if that class are made to vacate
their positions there will be general change
everywhere.
The Cleveland Administration should not
look about for chargesof offensive partisan
ship" The fact that any incumbent is a
Republican should be sufficient cause for his
removal The people voted for change of
men as well as measures, for they did not ex-
peet honest government at the hands of those
who had permitted fraud and peculation to be
practised. Neither did they expect that
Democratic policy could be carried out
through Republican agents.
