AN ARMY OF oFFIcE-HoLDERs.
Three-fourths of Those in the Department.
Service are Republicans.

Civil-Service Commissioner Roosevelt,
discussing the current changes in de-
partments and the general comments
which those changes had elected from
both political parties, said:
s'Well I am not in sympathy with the
outcry for wholesale dismissals from the
clerical force in the departments IN order
to even them up between the two par
ties. The published statement that W
per cent. or any such proportion OF the
clerical force in the departments IN
Washington is Republican is all nonsense
There are in the departm tai force 5000
persons, all told, who are subject TO com
petitive examination. OF these about
1000 now in Office have been put IA
through the examinations OF the evil
service commission wholly WITHOUT re-
gard to political consideration, and are
probably about evenly divided between
the two parties. The remaining 4,DOU
represent those still in office from among
the 5000 who were originally CLASSIFIED
in 1888 by order of President Arthur, and
are mainly Republicans They also rep
resent the 2,0G0 who are included II the
classification of 1888 by order OF fresl-
dent Cleveland, the great bulk OF Whom
are Democrats. Probably about the
same proportion of these two classes are
now in Office, or in other words, OF the
900 persons now in the departmental
service about three-fourths are kepuon
cans and fourth Democrats.
I'm addition to this there are about
400 excepted places, such as chiefs OF
division, private secretaries and the like
and 2,000 laborers and others below the
classified service making 3 400 in ALL the

A Valuable Mail Pouch Missing

A registered mail pouch containing
$4,000 in securities left the Salt Lake
postoffice east bound on July 8, and has
not since been heard from, except that
the postmaster in Salt Lake has receipt
for the pouch upon its arrival at Ogden.
Postoffice detectives and inspectors have
been dispatched to different points along
the mail route on the Union Pacific in

Messrs. Barbour Thompson and Others:
GENTLEMEN;-I am in receipt of your
letter referring to my continuance in the
office of chairmen of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive and State Central Committees.
appreciate your kindness and believe
YOU are correct in saying that there
would be no opposition if my name were
presented.
Unfortunately, the long continued and
enforced neglect of my private affairs
renders it impossible for me to accept
position whose duties demand undivided
attention. Hoping for Il change in the
financial situation have postponed this
decision until justice to my successor de-
nands it's publication. The party which
has twice honored me with its leadership
numbers among it's ranks many whose
experience is as great and whose natural
fitness far exceeds my own. Its success
is certain in the cOming contest, whoever
may be entrusted with its organization.
For me it remains only to express my
sincere regret at the necessity of my
withdrawal, and to tender to my many
friends and fellow-workers throughout
the State my heartfelt thanks for the CO.
operation which lightened the ladors of
the past campaign and made victory in

Indiana Democratic Confer ncs.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-Democrats
from all over the state are numerous
in town today to attend the Demo-
cratic state conference, looking for a
new state committee and arrange
dates for holding conventions, at
which the committee will be chosen.
Senator Voorhees, will arrive in the
forenoon. Senator Turpie and Mexi-
can Minister Gray are already here.
Other prominent Democrats are ex-
pected and Congressman Bynum,
Cooper and Brown. Much Importance
is attached to Senator Voorhees, pres
ence at the conference, and it is ex-
pected he will make few remarks on
the pension policy of Secretary Hoke
Smith. The conference will also con-
slider steps necessary to fight the ap-
portionment suit now in the courts.
The conference will likely be some
thing in the nature of council Of war.
