animadverted upon many leading dem
ocratic papers as a foreshadowing of
his policy in line with his former
action.
The expression, ga demoralized
madness for spoils," we think was too
strong an application to the loyal
democrats who have borne the heat
and burden of the fight for principle,
and are now fully capable of filing
the offices held by opponents to the
principles entertained by Mr.. Ceve-
land and those who have elected him.
TO the victor belong the spoils, :"
has always appeared to us an objection
able and inappropriate sentiment as
applied to the offices of the govern
ment, ipasmuch as it conveys the i'm
preston that parties did not contend
for great principles, but struggled for
the Offices regardless of the truest in
terests of the government, thus de-
grading our republican system. when,
on tie contrary, the Office seeking
process is secondary, and a sequence
of the victory which party may win
and for which it battles.
Eliminate the office clamor entirely
from the contest in its bearing upon
individuals, and our faith is so strong
in the sincerity Of the peoples patriot
ism that we believe they would strug-
gle as hard for their principles with
out hope of other reward than that
OF good government.
1t is too soon to judge of Mr.. Cleve-
lands views on this question, and
it is best to withhold criticism until
his policy has been divulged,
He recognizes the fact that his
election was due to an adherence of
the people to great democratic princi-
pies, and it is not likely that he will
entrust those principles to the hands
OF republicans when it can be avoided.

Mr. Cleveland and the offices,

Among the very many difficult du-
ties the President is called upon to
discharge is the one pertaining to the
appointing power. a duty of a dual
nature, relating to the civil service
laws, as well as the demand of pre-
cedent, and the great majority that
elected him.
The American system of govern
ment is purely representative one,
concentration OF the peoples will in
the hands OF their chosen public SER
wants, and therein it is the medium of
expression of that will.
This being 80 thorough establish
ment OF civil servis rules in the occu-
patton of government offices seems
paradoxical to our system as above
defined.
If the peoples will that the demo-
cratic principles as they have been
declared, shall be carried out in the
maintenance OF the government, it is
expected and demanded that they shall
be enforced by democrats entertain
ing these principles, and not by repub-
licans who oppose them.
Efficiency above all things is first
demanded, after which party fealty,
" which we mean loyalty to the prin-
ciples of party should next demand
recognition, for if it be admitted that
republicans can administer democratic
principles equally as well as demo-
Gratis, the necessitv Of electing demo-
cratic President is abrogated.
If the successful party demands that
the high offices in the governmsnt
mnst be filed by men of the party.
why should not the subordinate posi-
tion be subjected to the same rulep
! Where can the line be drawn by
which the necessity to the adherence
to party be droppedp
If the rule holds good in the higher
offices it should continue down to the
io"eSu III eho soaio "uoro cmcioucy
can be secured.
Upon this question Mr.. Cleveland
has not hitherto had the entire conf
dence OF his party.
During his first administration he
was censured by the party for ignor-
ing its claims to fill all the offices, and
his recent utterance in his inaugural
address wherein he denominates the
democratic desire for Office 'as a de-
demoralizing madness for spoils," 10
