service law has been administered
really in the interest of the republic
ans who are in office and that the
barriers should be removed in order
to allow the democrats better
chance to get into place, has attract
ed great attention, as it is the first
authoritative statement from a dem

Randall promised to make speech
later on, outlining his reasons for
complaining Of the way the law is
now administered. Bennett of North

speech, declaring that to the victors
belong the spoils and that the adj

but it did not make so much of ar
impression as Randall's calmer state
ment. But both showed the hostill
ty that is brewing in the Hous'
against the law, which, democrat
complain, keep them out of office.
