FIFTY-FOURTH DAY.-Mr. wilson conun-
ued the discussion in relation to suspensions
by the President. He said that for the first
time in the progress of this government its
executive power is now being used as means
of assault on the character and reputation
of its citizens. He would not stop to
determine whether it was the
result of purpose, inexperience, want OF
thoughtful action OF other cause whatsoever.
1t was an unexpected fact, however, and
doubtless it would have been guarded against
if the trainers of the Constitution had be-
lieved such a result possible in an admin
istration of the executive power under
the provisions of that instrument as
proposed by them. Who could
political protoplasmic presence which floated
en- the bosom of the Democratic platform of
1884. and whose indefniteness was expressed
in the words, I'VE favor honest civil service
reform, could have evolved result so harm-
full to the character and reputation of a citizen
as the practice of the present national admin
iStraton! Every stage reached by the peculiar
movements of this strange political evolution
gave promise of better result than we have
attained or the citizen experienced. Mr.. Will
son then quoted from the utterances Of Mr..
Cleveland as presidential candidate, PreSi-
dent-elect and President in favor of civil SER
vices reform, and said that the people had
given Mr.. Cleveland generous credit
for sincerity, but they could not
reconcile his actions in suspending
competent and faithful public Off
GERS with his repeated assurances that such
things would not be done. Mr.. Wilson
argued at some length the question as to the
privacy of the papers on file in the depart
ments, maintaining that they were not the
Presidents private papers. 1t was
another instance he said of the manner
in which the President confounded the
individual with the public official
1t was probably the most pronounced
instance, the speaker asserted, of personal
ism" to be found in the history of our govern
ment. and showed how one false step led to
