TURN THE RAsCALs" OUT.

~
this time, as to the probable tenure
of Office by Republican officials
The Civil Service Rules, Tenure
of Office A; and technical in
terpretations of these laws are
being quoted to show how or why
those Federal officials may or
should be retained in Office, until
the expiration of four years from
the date of their commissions.
THE ARGUS is of that homely
persuasion of Democracy which
believes that a Democratic Admin
istration should be conducted as far
as possible and practicable, by
Democrats-by officials in full
sympathy with and owing fealty
to the party in power, and in loyal
obedience to the will of the peo-
pie.
The majority of the people o.

sovereign majesty OIL November s
last and declared with mighty
voice that the Republican party
was no longer worthy to run the
Guvernment-that it should be
retired from power. They declared
that the party and its principles
had been weighed in the balance
and found wanting. they decreed
that this party of injustice and
ruinous policies be relieved of
power. and they are now insisting
that their decree be fully enforced.
They want the ''rascals" turned
out.
THE ARGUS has every confidence
in the patriotism, the wisdom and
the craftsmanship of the Chiet
Executive so unanimously chosen
BY the people. It has equal con
fdence and trust in his chosen
Cabinet. It believes the President
and his wisest advisers will cares
fully respect and obey the ex-
pressed will of the people and turn
Republican oficials-men chosen
by a repudiated and discredited
party-out Of office, and give their
places to Democrats, to men who
are loyal, obedient and subservient
to the party of Reform and Good
Government.
Can any man dare say that
plenty of good men cannot be
found for every Office in the gift Of
the Government. whose political
affiliations are in full sympathy
with Democratic wishes and in
t~erests, who VIII not render just a;
good service as the Republican
ohceholders? Certainly not, anc
The ARGUS has no fear that Pres.
ident Cleveland and his Cabinet d.
not view the matter in the came
light.
Active and offensive p~artisanshil
is, under Civil service rules, goot
ground for removal from Office
How many of the North Carolin'
Republican oHcesholders, for in
stance r guilty of such offending
Everyone, that THE ARGUS nov
calls to mind. They, one and all
SO far as could be ascertained, wer,
hand in glove in giving sympath,
and contributing money to Repub
licans and their Populite allies il
their reckless endeavors to disrup
the Democracy of this State, ant
turn its electoral vote over t,
Weaver.
The Republican Postm a~sters, tn
District Attorneys and Unitet
States Marshals, were all actirel,
and Extensively, engaged in tn
miserable gorilla warfare agains
the Democratic party.
They are all guilty and shoule
all be speedily, and il many cases
summarily removed. THE ARGUi
wants to see an early change il
every place and position in Nortf
Carolina, where the change viii
not be in conflict with the prin-
ciples and platform of the Demo
cratic party and the clearly defined
laws of the land. 1t has ull faitl
in Mr.. Oleveland's determination
to turn "the r~ascals'' out.
