Sound Democratic Doctrine.

On the great question of Civil-Serv-
ice reform the Democrats of Iowa have
declared rs follows:
I'm appointments 10 all Offices the duties of
which may reflect the policy OF the Administra-
tion persons should be selected whose princi-
pies harmonize with the party having the re-
sponsIbility OF such Administration. But sub
ordinates should be selected and retained for
their efficiency. LeVylng assessments upon
ordce-holders for partisan purposes can not be
too strongly condemned. and we commend TO
the fullest extent every effort which Presi-
dent Cleveland has made in the direction OF
reform and the elevation Of the civil service"
Better Democratic doctrine has not
been promulgated. Its basis is mo-
rality, liberty and justice; the truo
basis of the faith of the actual Demo-
cratic party. and the only foundation
of Democratic gospel that can hope
to command the approval of just men
in any civilized country of the world.

A RELIABLE, LEADER.

Courage and F1rmnesS-

Grover CIsveIand's UntIrInR Vigilance,
Courage and FIrmneSs-
Senator John James Ingalls,. who is
not friendly to the President has ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Cleveland
is more phenomenal than Napoleon.
The vitriolic Senator from Kansas
did not mean to be complimentary.
But he was SO in spite of himself. For
those qualities of the great French
soldier and law-giver. in which Mr.
Cleveland resembled him. were his
good qualities. Grover Cleveland
vision. the untiring vigilance, the
courage and frmness. and not little
of the audacity in great things, that
made Napoleon Bonaparte the great
est soldier in history.
As a power in the worlds affairs
there was no accounting for Napoleon.
and there is no accounting for Grover
Cleveland. Both will take places in
history among phenomena Both rose
suddenly from obscurity. anu when so
, elevated both displayed remark able
powers of leadership. 1t is hard to
estimate public men with accuracy
during their lifetime, but it is safe to
say that Grover Cleveland will take
rank as one of the most remarkable
men the United States has produced. In
1880 the country had never even heard
the name of the man whom four years
later it elected to the highest position
III the world. Called to the head of
the Nation without the slightest ex-
perience in National politics; never.
it is said. having set foot in
the capital of his country until he
went there for his inauguration.
he at once mastered the multifari-
Gus affairs of the Government with Il
thoroughness and detail which. per-
haps, no President before him ever
quite equaled. 1t was thus that Ma
poleon mastered the affairs of the
army and then the affairs of france.
Not only this, but President Cleveland
at once dis played large. broad-mind-
ed. comprehensive grasp of the great
questions of the time. He saw the
way the country should go. and with a
cautious yet resolute hand he turned
it in that direction. First assuring
himself that he was right. he has not
failed in the quality of courage which
Napoleon had, and which SO few
political leaders of our times possess
the courage to ''go ahead"
The election of 1884, and the result
ing administration of Grover Cleve-
land, have made the issues of the war
'chestnuts.' The country has been
moved ahead twenty years in the
march of progress. and is to- day
measurably nearer settlement of the
great questions that are agitating the
people than it was even one year ago.
And the President, in serving well his
country, has in the best and highest
sense served well his party. The
Democratic party is holder. broader
and letter party for his leadership.
1t is fortunate thing for the coun-
try that this mans leadership is not
only not seriously questioned, but has
the unanimous and enthusiastic sup
port of his party. Better STILL the
conviction i 8 general that the country
will vote. by an overwhelming ma
jority, to give him the opportunity to
continue and finish the good work he
has begun.-BoStO1a Globe.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

We predict total failure of the
attempt to make the average American
citizen in 1883 cast his vote under the
Post Dispatch.
1t was said in years back that
there was no difference of principle
between the Democratic party and the
Republican party; but in this cam
paign at least that will not be true

Let those who complain that we
do not get enough Civil-Service reform
reflect OH how much of it we would be
likely to get if Mr.. Blaine or Mr.. Sher-
man were to succeed MIR Cleveland
Boston Globe.
Tho touters for the Gresham
boom are becoming tedious, and ought
to be persuaded to quit. Mr.. Blaine
is in the field; he has pulled in the
string attached to his withdrawal, and
the little booms are no longer of any
account The sooner the organs drop
Gresham the less crow they will have
% eat.-Chtcago Globe.

Reforms are accompanied in the

the people. on the contrary. care only

afraid to touch tariff reform for fear
they may burn their fingers; but the

There are two Republican par
ties in Virginia. one led by Billy Ma
