EVARTs' GRAFTON.
THE NEW YORK SENATOR MAKES
THE EFFORT OF HIS LIFE,
And Delivers Most Eloquent and Fin
ished Address-Exercises at the Cele.
bration Yesterday and Last Evening-
Distinguished Persons In Attendance.

| MARIETTA, July 1s.-Yesterday morning
exercises Of the Centennial celebration was
given up to the speech of Senator Eyarts
of New York. He had an audience of S. 900
persons TO hear him, and has probably
never addressed himself to a larger. more
intelligent number of persons. The exer-
cises were opened with prayer by Dr. Hins-
dale, Gartield's biographer, who now lives
at Ann Arbor, Mich.
The meeting was presided over by State
Senator W. L. Wallace, who made a speech
| in which he expressed his gratitude for the
bonor which had been conferred upon him
when he was selected to preside He then
added some historical remarks which were
| timely. He introduced Senator Eyarts,
who was heartily applauded.
Senator Evarts spoke without man uscript
and displayed more vigor than he has done
in the Senate for long time Said he.
'The Marietta settlement was a wonderful.
exhibition Of the courage of the forerunners
of the present civilization. The courts OF
justice in the west that were opened a cen.
tury ago have never been closed In the
God given Northwest laws have never been
silent and courts have never denied
justice. There was no need of war
or desolation in other races to make room
Tor us in the most unpeopled regions Of the
West. The problem was to see how We
could keep free from other countries St
Europe the narrow settlements Of this
country"
Senator Evarts explained the philosophy
of the successful settlement of the whole
country from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and his remarks, after he passed his intre-
duction, were not local in nature.
Senator Evarts' magnificent grafton,
which is considered the great occasional
speech of his life, was heartily applauded
and produced q deep and pleasant impress
sion. Among those who listened to Ii we're
Senators Sherman, Daniels, Governor For
aker and the Centennial Commissioners
from many States.
The afternoon was given up TO the repre-
sentstiyes of Michigan and illinois. State
Senator Louis Palmer, of Michigan, set
forth in strong, picturesque language the
rise and development of Michigan from a
crude wilderness to an important and opu-
lent State Senator Palmer was followed
by Hon. N. F. Smith, who described the
glory greatness and progress of Indiana
The exercises of the day closed with q
unique and historical pageant, in which
our. early history were faithfully and agreea-
bly, reproduced. General Thomas Ewing
and Senator Daniels, of Virginia, are the
orators of the day to-day. and fine addresses
are expected from each of them.

and postal-during the period covered by
the report, was Is, So. OF this number IA
965 were men and l,sS7 women. OF this
number 9,2l0 men and 1885 women passed
and 155 men and S5l women failed to pass
examination. During this period 452 men
and 50 women have been appointed in the
classified departmental service, and since
January 16. 1888, the date on wich the sys-
tenn of making appointments on examina-
ton went into effect 9lS men and 1863 women
have been appointed In the classified de-
partmental service. OF the work of the
commission during the past three years the
report says: That there has been accom-
plished in the execution of the law all that
its sanguine friends expected is not
claimed; but without any degree of mex
actness in statement it may be said that in
the results of its execution is shown the
wisdom of the principle of divorcing the
subordinate offices Of the government from
politics and elections, and making con-
tinuance in Office dependent not upon
party service but upon merit and good be-
havior In this respect the law has pro-
duced results which are not extravagantly
described as surprising"
The demoralizing methods of the patron
age system ofappointments the commission
says have been replaced within the classified
service, by the better methods of the law,
under which the demands of common JUS
tice are complied with, that in so far as
practicable, all citizens duly qualified shall
be allowed equal opportunity on grounds
of personal fitness, for securing appoint
ment and employment in the subordinate
