THE OPENING CAMPAIGN.

COURIER JoURNAL.l
The opening of campaign activi-
ties, which the middle of Septem-
ber witnesses upon both the politi-
cal lines of battle, gives the Dem
ocrats every reason to work with
confidence. If tendencies mean
anything, the preludes we have
had in Arkansas, Maine and Yer.
mont are most significant. The
vote in Arkansas shows that we
shall not lose q Southern State.
The Force bill issue ought to settle
that, has settled it in Arkansas,
and will settle it in all the States
of the South. The falling off in the
Republican vote in Maine and Yer
ment is no less ominous to Repub-
lican hopes. AT the same rate the
Republicans will lose all of the
States which are called doubtful,
losing the election hands down, as
the saying is.
1t would be an anomaly in Amer
lean politics to see the great North
west joining the South in an over
whelming, irresistible mutiny
against the Robber Tariff. We do
not expect this; but no thoughtful
observer of political currents can
say that it is impossible. Still, we
look to New York and Indiana as
yet the pivotal points; and regard
them with corresponding interest
AS to Indiana, this in to be said,
that Mr.. Harrison has raised up q
great many resentments, scattered
broadcast a great many disappoint-
ments, and, generally, weakened
the enthusiasm of his followers,
whilst the Democrats are well or
ganized, and, if not very enthusi-
astic, are in excellent fighting con-
ditiOn. Indiana ought to be all
right.
In New York we have seen a
considerable subsidence of the orig
inal elements of danger. To all
outward appearance, the factions
whose differences seemed so ire
concilable before and during the
Chicago Convention, have got to-
getber and will work together, II

In his letter of acceptance four
years ago Mr.. Harrison was EN-
phatic in his approval of civil SER
vice reform. He declared that the
law regulating appointments to the
classified civil service had receiv.
ed his support in the Senate and
among the people, and that it
pointed the way to much-needed
reform, adding! ~ still think so,
and therefore heartily approve the
clear and forcihle expression of the
convention upon this subject. The
law should have the aid of friend
ly Interpretation and be faithfully
and vigorously supported"
To-day he says: "The civil SER
vice system has been extended, the
law enforced with yigor and i'm
partiality. There has been no par
isan Juggling with the law in any
of the departments or bureaus, as
had before happened, but appoint

have been made impartially and
from the eligible list. The system
now in force in all departments has
for the first time placed promotion
strictly upon basis of merit, as
accertained by the daily record,
and the efficiency of the force
thereby greatly increased"
Intervening between these two
letters of acceptance have been
four years of administrative de-
bauchery of the service under the
personal direction of Mr.. Harrison,
and all for the advancement of per-
sonal ambitions. The, systematic
and persistent disregard of the
promise made four years ago cul-
minated at the Minneapolis con.
vention.
The President and his organizers
used public Office as a means of
bribery. They organized the civil
service, not simply in the interest
of the Republican party, but to pro-
mote the denomination of Mr.. Har-
rison. They directed all of its
agencies against his chief competi-
tor, Mr.. Blaine. They promised
post-offices to party workers in
order to transfer the negro vote in
the convention from the Blaine to
the Harrison column.
These promises of Office were not
only given, but the President him
self sought to fulfill them, and was
checked in his commercial career
only by the revolt of the Blaine
Senators.
The assessment of Federal Office
holders for political purposes lis an
existing and trying evil. The pre-
lenses under which the law has
been violated have been too shallow
to protect the officeholders from
paying tribute to party organiza-
ton. Personal loyalty has been
the test of promotion, and every
political gathering of the Repub-
lican party has been noticeable for
the presence of Federal officehold-
ers.
This is all in marked contrast to
the record during the Administra-
tion of Mr.. Cleveland. The COM
plaint then was, not that the Fed
eral officeholders dominated politi-
cal gatherings, but that they were
forbidden, by executive orders,
from participating in them.
Mr.. Harrison should be given
full credit for his efficiency as a
political manipulator; for his ex-
ecutive control of political forces,
for the deftness with which he
handles the power of patronage, for
the strategy which forced the resig-
nation of Mr.. Blaine, for the skill
used in placating Mr.. Platt, but it
is idle for him, in the face of his re-
cord, to claim that there has been
no partisan juggling with the law,
or that the system for the first time
places promotion strictly upon the
basis Of merit. Such expressions
in the face of the" record convict
the President of persistent hypo-
crisy, and detract from the dignity
of the position which he occupies.

Something Wrong in One or the Other

"Cheapw l never liked the word.
Cheap and nasty go together.
This whole system of cheap things
is a badge of poverty, for cheap
merchandise means cheap men,
and cheap men mean cheap coun-

fathers builded. Furthermore, it
is not the kind their sons mean to
maintain.-Hon. VIM Mckinley,

THE utterances of candidate Har-
Fison on the question of Federal
interference in elections are at to-
tal variance with the recOmmen-

the same subject. However, should
candidate Harrison again become

would disappear with the celerity
of July dew before the summer

The Hooking Valley Journal
claims to be a Republican newspa-

floats the Republican ticket in a
mutilated form at the head of its
editorial page.
Why the Journal refuses to sup
port l.. d. Vickers for Presidential
Elector, we do not know, but we
do know that Mr.. Vickers was
fairly nominated for the position
by convention of competent au-
thority, and is a Republican after
the "most straightest Sect" and
why he should not be supported by
a Republican paper is enigmatical.
If the Journal wishes to pose as a
party organ and be recognized as
such by the powers that be it is
necessary that it get into line. No
halfway business goes.
