THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.

Mr.. Thoman has followed in the wake of
Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton and Mr.. Gregory and
retired from the civil service commission.
All the commissioners have now resigned.
The President accepts Mr.. Thoman's resig-
nation in a note which when contrasted
with the ELUSIVE letter he addressed to Mr..
Dorman B. Eaton seems rather cool Mr..
Thoman, however, has never been regarded
as adding much strength to the commission,
and If the charges made against him by the
Western press are true he ought to have been
retired long ago
The President is understood to have been
engaged for some time past in searching the
Democratic party for fit man to succeed
Mr.. Eaton. At last accounts his labor had
not been rewarded. The commission is not
popular with the Democracy inasmuch as it
interferes with the carrying out of the Dem
ocratic idea of reform, which is the filling of
the offices with Democrats, and Democrats
who are ready to face frowning party and
accept place upon it are decidedly
scarce The President might take Mug
wump, but that would be substantial con-
feSsion that there is no civil service reform
timber in the Democratic party, and besides
In the present state of feeling existing be-
tween the Mugwumps and the Democrats
would go long way to ALLEVIATE his party.
The necessities of the situation REQUIRE that
the President should find fit Democrat, but

Governor Hill had the elements of pro-
fessional Democratic politician long before
he began to pose as q candidate in New York.
The Boston Transcript tells that when he be-
gan life as school teacher the committee
asked him whether he thought the earth was
round or fiat. He replied: swell, some peo-
pie think one way and some another I'll
teach round or fat, just as the parents
please" Governor Hill is born Democrat
ic candidate.

The Prohibition candidate for governor Of
Ohio, after very active canvass, received
$4,000 votes. The Republican candidate can
didate received 100000 and the Democratic
candidate $4,000. The Prohibition vote was
about one twenty-ffth of the whole vote.
A deal of work will be necessary before
the Prohibitionists will be able to elect their
candidates. Meanwhile they will promote
temperance by playing into the hands of the
Democratic party.

The gentleman who is responsible for the
publication of the alleged interview with Mr..
Conkling is Mr.. Amos Learned, who for
many years was New England agent of the
Associated Press. Mr.. Learned says the in
teryiew did take place Notwithstanding Mr..
Conklings denial and that Mr.. Conkling gave
utterance to the sentiments attributed to him
therein, and furthermore authorized the pub
location if Mr.. Learned deemed it best. The
Democrats seem to be getting good deal of
consolation out of this interview, and are
proclaiming that it will turn the tide in New
York in their favor. But if Mr..
Conkling and the Mugwumps with DR..
Burchard thrown in could defeat Mr.. Blaine
by only one thousand plurality it is hard to
see how Mr.. Conkling single handed can de-
feat Mr.. Davenport But the friends of Hill
are in the desperate straits of drowning men
and they clutch eagerly at straws.

The Ohio House of Representa- tiyes will
contain Republican majority, and he nee
will have the power and the disposition to
right the wrong perpetrated by John r. Nc
Lean and his gang in Hamilton county.
There is no doubt that fair count of the
votes would have shown the election of
every Republican candidate for representa-
tive in that county, with one exception. The
courts cannot undo the wrong, because the
county clerk, who is a Democrat, issued the
certificates before an injunction could be
served upon him. The House of Represent
atiyes can, however, inquire into the election
of its own members, and turn out those
tainted with fraud. This it ought to do, and
no doubt will do very soon after it meets.
