OWL SERVICE REFORM.

The prime mission OF the Demo
cratic party, in its ACCESSION TO
power through the Executive, is
the correction of abuses of the
Civil Service. Mr.. Cleveland will
enter upon the discharge OF the
duties of President, surrounded by
political hirelings, whose only re-
commeudation is party fidelity,
and whose only virtues consist IN
being the willing tools aud scat
paws" OF a corrupt organization.
The question OF appointments to
be made has already been settled,
as to classification, by Mr.. Cleve-
land himself. They are to be men
of experience, intelligence and
honesty. 1t has not been so clear
Iy determined, however, who shall
be removed, and for what cause.
Those who Lave been guilty OF
acknowledgement or misconduct in
Office may expect to be disrobed,
with little ceremony. But there is
a class OF "Men, of their own natu-
raj inclination, hopeful and strong
~ conceited," who claim consider.

But they are fresh from the labors

a price to contaminate the public

ers, "but we attend to our business
satisfactorily, and why should a
man be turned out OF Office simply
OH account of his opinions 7" Many
Democrats have given ear to this
kind of sOphistry, and some are
so extremely kind as to sign Their
petitions for retention. But such
have been inveigled into a wrong
view OF the matter. Mr.. Cleveland
very justly says they have forfeit
