Mr.. HENDRICKS AND CIVIL SERVICE RE
FoRM.-Vice President Hendricks spoke at the
banquet given him by the Bay State club at
Boston last night Abiding to civil service re-
form, he SAID that the men now in power at
Washington could be trusted to bring il about
by filling the places of incompetents with capa.
BILE men. Speaking of his administration Of
the land Office years ago, he said: "The hickory
broom of jackson that represented democratic
reform was the sentiment and emblem of the
reform that sought to bring about, and in the
stead OF the men who had TO step out there
came In young and earnest fellows that were
willing to do the work." Mr.. Hendricks said
that he would not, II he could, take the entire
government away from the republicans. Al
luding to the next presidential campaign, he
said that he would have no personal interest in
IL, whereupon there were cries of "Doubt it"
"Head Of the ticket next time"
