Bayard as Civil Service Reformer.
WASHINGTON, June Sth-In recent
conversation with a correspondent, Secre-
| tary OF State Bayard said: 81 have been
abused and ridiculed for my adherence to
the declaration that a public officer is
public trust. am conscientious about it,
no matter what my political enemies may
say. My support of this principle has
caused the alienation of good many of
my old friends. But what can / do?
cannot, as conscientious man, appoint to
laoffice man who has not the ability to fill
it, any more than / could appoint cor
rupt man to the same position. am CEN
sured for not turning all the Republican
Consuls out and filing their places with
Democrats. In some places the incum-
bents are so well qualified for their duties
that would not remove them under any
circumstances. In a majority of the cases,
however. am willing to make removals
when by so doing | can improve the serv-
ice. There is, of course, no.lack of appli-
cants, but upon examining their papers l
do not find them the men l want. When
the proper men present themselves there
need bcno delay in having them suitably
provided for"

stories that have been printed about Blaine
preparing for the next Republican nomina-
/! tion for President. Elkins said he had not
| seen Blaine for some time. He said, how
| ever, if Blaine had any such idea it would
| be much to early to start boom. He be-
| lieved. also, that if the nomination did
| come it would be as the result of a demand
| from his party and that no manufactured
boom would bring it about. Elkins said
/ that BlaiHes efforts for the Presidency were
confined Ia the Conventions of 1876 and
1885, and that the Convention before which
Blaine did not fight was that which gave it
Cleveland, Elkins said he thought that the
