Civil Service Reform association.

NEW YORK, May S.-The State Civil Service
Reform association held it's annual meeting last
night. President George William Curtis said
the late revelations regarding the misgoyern-
ment of this city furnished new demonstra-
ton of the necessity of civil service reform. He
credited President Harrison with good inten-
tions while condemning First Assistant Post
master General Clarkson for having made
10000 removals for political reasons, more than
any administration before ever made in tho
same length Of time. The speaker made one or
two condemnatory references to Senator Quay.
He congratulated his hearers on the fact that the
man whom one of the great parties will soon be-
obliged to make its candidate will be the one
favorably disposed toward civil service reform.
Curtis was reelected president.
