A Watar Halll-

Senator Hale's committee, that is examin-
ing into the cause of the removal lately of
large number of employees of the New
York custom house. does not seem TO be
finding much material for campaign pur-
poses. The committee was appointed with
the view of showing that the civil service
laws have been violated, and the expecta-
ton was that some damaging testimony
against the administration would be dis
covered.
Many of the employees who were removed
are Republicans, and some of them told the
committee interesting stories. Their stories,
however, were not quite so favorable for
them when they had been subjected to
rigid cross-examination. 1t was discovered
that about all of them had been remove cd
for incompetency or pernicious political
activity. Secretary Fairchild said that he
was responsible for all of the removals, and
from the facts elected it was apparent that
the administration had been altogether too
lenient with them. The most of them
ought to have been removed long ago for
the good of the service
The Republicans appear to have the idea
VndJ CIVIL service reform means keeping he
publicans in office, whether they are faith
full and competent officials or not. They
are discovering, however, that this is mis-
take. Nevertheless, whenever Republi-
can is removed, even for good cause, they
at once raise the cry that the civil service
laws are being violated.
The recently removed New York custom
house officials were not only unfit for their
places, but many of them were more active
in ward politics than in attending to their
duties. 1t is hardly to be expected that the
administration will prevent officials of its
own political faith from taking an unneces-
sarily active part in politics and, at the
same time, permit Republican officials all
the liberty in that respect they choose to
exercise.
II is true that iu has been found that some
of the Democrats of the New York custom
house have shown rather too much partisan
activity lately. Some of the most active of
them have been told that their services are
not needed, and others have received a
warning that will have a very beneficial
effect upon them. Senator Hale's commit
tee is welcome to all the campaign capital
it will get out of the New York custom
house
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-05-31

1t is doubtful if Mr.. Blaine's second letter
of withdrawal, published in our dispatches
yesterday, explaining and emphasizing his
first, will be accepted by all of his admirers
as refusal to accept the nomination under
any circumstances. The impression which
it leaves is that a condition of affairs is
possible under which he might be induced
to accept it. 1t is true that he says
that his first letter was intended
to be an unconditional withdrawal
of his name from the national
convention, and in his second he declares
that he could not now accept the nomina-
ton without placing himself in the position
of having been uncandtd, which would rob
him of the good opinion of his friends, and
that, therefore, he cannot accept at all. But
cannot this letter be construed to mean that
he wants to give those who are seeking the
nomination every possible chance of get
ting it, but that if the convention unan-
mously insist that he shall have it he will
feel bound to accept itl
1t may be that Mr. Blaine does not intend
to accept the nomination if it is offered to
him, whatever the circumstances under
which it is offered may be, but the fact that
if that is his purpose he could have made it
clearer, will doubtless lead many to still
think that he regards as within the bounds
of possibility situation which might make
his nomination not only desirable, but
necessity, to his party.
Why could he not have said in his first
letter that he would not accept the nomna-
ton under any circumstances A statement
like that would have left no doubt in any
body's mind, and there would not have been
any occasion for a second letter explaining
the first, Finding that his first letter was
not conclusive he could have made the sec
ond one so. Instead of doing so, however,
he points out that if he were to accept the
nomination now he would incur the loss of
the respect of his friends
He knows the meaning of words as well
as anybody in the world, and if he wished
it understood that he would accept no place
on the national ticket he could so state it
that there would be no misunderstanding
with respect to it,
Summed up, his two letters seem to mean
that he does not want the nomination; that
he will not seek it; that his name will not
go before the national convention with his
consent, hut that if his party is determined
that he shall be its standard bearer,
and offers him the nomination with
such unanimity as to convince
even those who are recognized can
didates that he doesn't want it, and
will not accept it unless it is thrust upon
him, no will accept it. Mr. Whitelaw Reid,
day or two ago, stated in his own news
paper that he thought Mr.. Blaine would
accept the nomination il it were offered to
him unanimously, and without any effort
having been made in his behalf by his
friends, and it would not be at all remarka-
BILE if that opinion should continue to pre-
vail,
