Talk of Extending the Classified Service
The Prr-ident's Reported Intentions.


At the cabinet meeting Yesterday a long and
earnes; discussion was held upon the PROPOSE
tion advanced by certain government officials
for en- extension of the classified service in the
executive department 1t had been urged
that the President could at this time bring into
the classified service large number of
Office holders who had been appointed
under this administration and who, in
all probability, it was suggested, would
be sUpplanted by the incoming administration
with the adherents of the new corners. By
placing the incumbents unde- the wing of the
civil service law at this time they might be
shielded from the impending AZ Of the heads
man.
Ii has been recalled to the President and held
out precedent that President Cleveland
took similar action before turning over the ad-
miuistrStion TO the republicans in 1889, and
that he thereby anchored many democrats in
snug harbo-s.
After a thorough discussion Of the matter
Yesterday the President arrived at conclusion,
in which he was supported by the opinions of
the cabinet. A STAH reporter is informed that
the President has decided to pursue a conserva-
tive course. He does not desire to Law the ad-
miuiStTation open 10 The charge of arbitrarily
depriving the incoming administration OF pa
t-oraGe in sp Hss-of vindictiveness or retalia-
ton.
He will extend the classified service only TO
the degree which he had determined upon in
case he was reelected. This decision il is said
will not affect more than half dozen positions
In each department
IL II stated that the President does not desire
to take the government printing Office into the
classItied service, a. urged TO do. The bureau
Of engraving and printing is virtually within its
list now.
Within the past three DAYS each head of de-
Tsrtment has been fairly besieged BY employees
who were not appointed under the civil service
law TO be taken into the classified service in
some way in order to afford them protection
II is said that this class Of employees are verv
much alarmed. as they fear that the coming adj
ministiation will pursue more aggressive pol
icy than Mr.. Cleveland did during his former
tenure OF Office.

A Protest Against Noise.

To the Editor Of The Evening star.
The community almost unanimously rejoiced
to see the two columns recently in THE STAR

noises of those who were irving 20 gain credit

community with even more perfect unanimity
approves the steps taken in advance of the de-
cision Of the presidential election to keep the
firing of cannon away from the vicinity Of the

II is an opportune time To call attention to
the peril TO health and life that comes TO pri-
va;e sick. wearied and nervous persons with the
return of every Christmas in a limited wav and
with every Fourth Of July in a very marked
way. While the nation is in hush of sympathy

MIR. GORHAM'S EXPLANATION.
He Says Republican Legislation and Not tn,
Platform Caused Defeat.

He Says Republican Legislation and NOt the
Platform Caused Defeat.
George c. GorhaD, who has always figured
prominently as a republican, said today:
"If the republican legislation had been in &C
cordance with the republican platforms the
party would now be firmly insrenched in power
The protective policy is the policy of the
people, but the men who have under
taken TO lead the party have prostituted
protection and made it an agency for the benefit
of favored individuals. The republican party
never declared in its platforms that it believed
in legislation for the purpose of enriching q
few individuals at the expense OF the
public. The party declarations have been
in favor of protective tariff sufficient to make
up the difference between the cost Of labor in
this country and abroad. The people Of this
country bele7e in that. But when the repub-
hcans have come to legislate the lead
ers have abandoned this idea, and the
Mckinley bill and the Homestead strike
are presented as object lessons to the people
When the republicans were ready to begin the
revision of the tariff during the Fifty-first
Congress they called in the representatives Of
their favored interests, plainly the bell
calls the laborer to dinner, and announced to
them that the party was ready to hquidate its
obligations, and asked what they would have
out of the tariff were the men who
y ctated the Mckinley bill. When they got
"hat they wantedthey went home andannounced
to their employees that they had decided to make
a cut in wages.
This is what has defeated the republican
\party. The democrats, believe. will be sub
yec: to many of the same influences the repub-
licans have had, and they will disappoint the
people and be dumped in the same way. The

CAPT. DENsMORE DYING.

Not Expected to Live Beyond a Few Hours.
Capt. z. S. Densmore, chief usher at the
Executive Mansion, whose serious illness was
reported in yesterdays STAR, is not expected
to live beyond few hours.
Capt. Densmore came to Washington from
Ftchburg, Mass, and secured an appointment
on the metropolitan police force. He was
made sergeant Of police, and at the beginning
Of President Hayes administration was de-
tailed for duty at the White House, which post
he held until President Cleveland came in,
when he was appointed chief usher. After
holding this position for two years he resigned
and returned to Fitchburg.
When President Harrison entered the White
House Capt. Densmore was reappointed chief
usher and has held the position during the
term.
His illness dates from last May, and he has
not been on active duty since then. He has
had occasional periods Of recuperation and was
about the White House only few weeks ago.

How He 10 Regarded by the Post Once
Employees.
During the last campaign the fact that Mr..
Stevenson, the Vice President-elect was con-
nected with the Pos. Office Department in the
administration of Mr. Cleveland was
made rather prominent Special stress
was laid upon the proficiency which
he is alleged to have displayed as frat as
sistant in removing the heads of republican post
masters with dexterity and dispatch. He was
made to figure in the role Of a political guillo-
tine and no doubt the impression left on the
great bulk OF the people is that he is a sort Of
grim monster with the appetite Of an ogre for the
blood of his political opponents. The employees
of the Post Office Department who came in con-
tact with Mr.. Stevenson, however. give him
quite different character They speak of him
as one of the kindest and most considerable OF
men Ii seemed to make no difference to him
what were the political principles of the men
holding positions under him So long as they
did their work well and we're industrious he
accorded TO democrats and republicans alike
the same consideration.

creased majority, though ii was supposed
that his district had been made very

the election. He is convinced that the demo
Gratis would have carried Ohio by fair ma
jority If there had been any work done.
He says that he does not expect any new
legislation by the House this winter but that
he will not be surprised If an earnest attemp,
is made to pass through the Senate some of the
tariff bills which passed the House at the last
session He would not be surprised at the pas
sage Of the free wool bill
Speaking Of the organization of the next
Congress he said he did not anticipate that
Speaker Crisp would have any opposition,
but would be reelected. He said
he did not expect an extra session
and did not think it desirable to have one, but
he thought that perhaps it would be q grand
thing to have committee composed Of men,
bers OF the next House to do preliminary work
looking to speedy revision OF the tariff after
the opening OF the regular session.
As to what would be done with the tariff, he
said he thought that, starting with wool, raw
materials would be put on the free list very
generally and that there would be material
reduction OF duties all along the line.
