Mr. Mckinley (O.) earnestly opposed the
motion to strike out the appropriation. His
only regret was that the appropriation
committee did not give to the civil service
commission all the appropriation it asked
for the enlargement of the civil service. IL
the Republican party of this country was
pledged to one single thing more than
another it was the maintenance Of the civil
service law
IL was not only according TO the tenets
Of the Republican party, but according to
the best sentiments Of the Republican
party thrQughout the United States Now,
when the Republican party was in control
of all the branches of the government, is
is proposed TO virtually repeal this law,
when for four years. during Democratic
administration, nobody on the Republican
side had the temerity to rise in his place
and ask for the nullification Of the law.
They thought it good enough for a Demo
cratic administration, and he said to his
Republican friends that it was good enough
for Republican administration. The Re-
publican party must take no backward
step. The merit system was here, and hera
to stay
Mr.. Butterworth indorscd every word
Mr.. Mckinley had said Nothing smacked
Of monarchical forms as much as the spoils

was lost; yeas, 81 nays, 100. Pending
further action the committee rose and the

The apparent ignorance Of some Of these

What they lacked in intelligence and ex.

superciliousness. The insolence of Office
was never better exemplifled. The first

The lack OF knowledge Of the board was
