| WASHINGTON, July 15.-DemOcratlc newspa-
pers and few Of their allies attempt to and JUS
tfy the Democratic raid Consular service. Since
the 4th Of March there has been wholesale removal Of
faithful capable and experienced officers In order to
make for experienced utterly ignorant OF
the duties which they will be required perform The
experienced discharged because they Repub
leans, and the inexperienced employed solely
because they have been active Democratic partsans
and have thus brought Democratic Senator's Represen-
tatives National Committeeman and other Influential
members Of their party In debt them, Despite every
pretence and profession Of devotion 10
tho principles Of administrative reform tho
part Of the President and his Cabinet such have
be paid and Secretary Bayard insists settlements
IL liquidation shall be made promptly practicable.
Some OF the free-trade apologiss of the Admnstra-
ton, who willing to although they dare
undertake to defend the Presidents wanton
Disregard OF the public welfare shown
by the indiscriminate removal Of faith
full officers content themselves sby the Wild
tion that during the four months OF President Garelds
administration as many removals Of competent and ex.
pereDced diplomatic and consular Officers, took place.
and about as many inexperienced appointed
to such offices rewards OF personal and partisan
vice, during the first four months OF Mr.. Cleyeands
administration. 1t Is difficult say whether dense ig
norancc garng Misrepresentation predominates in
these special pleas.
