The PRESIDENT has got into peck of
trouble By reason of his ideas on civil SER
vice reform-ideas which, for sensible man,
are moro than remarkable. In talking with
Senator Vest about the suspension Of Mr..
Benton, he said he ordered it because he
did not see how he could make fish Of Ben.
ton and flesh of Stone, both having made
political speeches. And yet, by reinstating
Benton and removing Stone he has done
that very Identical thing. A democratic
President entirely wise would have removed
Stone within week after his inauguration,
because he is republican, and would not
have suspended Benton for exercising cit.
liens right of free speech.

FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2G.

ONE OF the oldest and best Washington
correspondents, gentleman who, in former
years, presided over the most influential
newspaper in Virginia, says:
ut has not been alleged that bad ap
pointments' by the President in or from
Virginia made him responsible for the de-
feat there. There are no bad appointments
there, but Withers in China, Maury in
South America, Curry in Spain and Gen.
Joe Johnston as Commissioner of Railroads,
ware not appointments that enthused the
democracy of Virginia. Not one of these
appointees represented any sentiment or
exercised any hard work 10 behalf of the
party while there are hundreds of working
democrats still looking on at republicans
holding profitable places under democratic
administration. The division that exists in
the mocratic party on the subject of civil
service reform was cause enough for the last
defeat, aud will remain cause enough to
defeat the party in 1885, unless it is removed
BIZ the President. Brass bands will not en-
thuse democrats with protested guano
notes in bank, while their protests against
republicans in Office remain unnoticed and
uuheeded by the President, and wheat ct
two dollars a bushel will not make demo-
Gratis rush to the polls to vote for a policy
that retains republicans in Office and keeps
democrats out.

during the evening i'll the direction Of
municipal reform. This man has passed
through many battles for the city's good
and its moral element. He has appeared
before Common Council, Excise Board and
Police Force and though courteo usly re-
ceivcd on each occasion before these sew
eral bodies, he has been poweress, many
times, in the interest of reform, and has
also been turned away, frequently disap-
pointed in his appeals.
The closing speeches of the evening were
offered by Bennington Gill and Thomas A.
Bell. Jos. B. Richardson is the President
of the League and Fred ]. Slade its Sec
rotary. OF the gentlemen ON the platform
Messrs. Nixon, Studdiford, Sade and Par
ker are Prcsbyterians; Scarborough and Gill
are Episcopalans; Richardson, Bell and
Wood are of the Society of Friends, and
City Missionary Frcas a Baptist. No
Methodists were represented, but that de
nomination, both pastors and people, favor
prohibition-that is, as majority. Some
few of them are conservatives. Here
ended very remarkable meeting as sns-
tanned by the higher and monetary element
of our city. The wealth and brain of the
town were present. Heretofore the great
struggle and obstacle toward any reform
movement has been in the absence of what
represented the grand issue on this occa-
sion.
We cannot close this chapter without
speaking of the excellent craftsmanship of
Judge Nixon, of the Federal Court The
Judge engineered the meeting with as
much gravity as if behind his own desk.
We thank him for the few suggestions ten
dered between each address; we thank him
for his influential bearing during the whole
scene, and it is to be hoped that the delib-
Grafton and expressions of this evenings
meeting may speed the time when new
era will dawn upon us for the good of our
city and its growing ami valuable suburbs.
