WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS.
The State Democratic Committee VII Meet at the Old Plankinton
 House this Afternoon.

MILwAUKEE. Wis, May 12.-Mem- bers of the State Democratic Com mittee have arrived for the meeting which will be held at the plankin- ton House this afternoon to fix a date for the Democratic Convention. The question of selecting time and place for the convention, however. is completely overshadowed by the interest attached to the question of the chairmanship. Mr. Wall, the present chairman who has handed in his resignation, will either an- nounce that he must be released from the cares of the office or else inform the committee that he has reeonsidered his determination to resign. He has been earnestly soliei- ted by friends, including many of the Wisconsin congressional delegation, to retain the chairmanship and con- duet the coming campaign. Should he persist in his determination, how ever, and his resignation be accepted, it will result in bitter contest for the chairmanship among leading Wisconsin Democrats who have long coveted the honor of heading the State Committee.

We have had time to give the
proposed Dobler Election Law but
a cursory examination but find
therein much to be commended.
One excellent feature we have noted
is the reduction of the number of
tickets required TO be printed and
another is the proposed change in
the officials and in the manner OF
their selection. From first glance
the bill seems to us to be fair one
that needs but few important
amendments.

Mr.. Wilkinson and Civil Service,

Senator Wilkinson said he, too, would
take up some time to explain his vote. He
was not surprised at the votes of Senators
On the other side of the chamber He
could almost thank them for voting against
his amendment, but the Senators from
Anne Arundel and Hartford seemed to
think he wss actuated by selfish motives
because they sometimes got a tobacco in.
spector from st. Mary's county. If they
were to put the tobacco inspectors under
civil-service rules, he would say that he
could not even get a screwman's position
in the warehouse. He had represented his
county here often, but he had never had
any education, never even Lad done a sum
in long division at school, yet he had been
able to keep people from cheating him Out
Of the little he had made and to use Ian
guage which was understood by those who
spoke English. Did the Senators want TO
build up an aristOcracy of officeholders in
Maryland lApplause.I Did they want
To exclude those who made the tobacco
from these places? II they defeated his
amendment he would assure them that the
bill would be defeated.

votes and the amendment was defeated

ed for third reading. Senator Wilkinson,
sfler the ayes had been taken, commenced
another speech against il. He was com
mitted, he said, TO civil service as pledged
in the platform, but could not see how his
republican colleagues could vote for a law
which was not submitted first to the people.
He was interrupted by President Bruce
as going beyond the confines of an expla-
nation of his vote, and after some colloouy
with the President, Mr. wilkinson refused
to say anything more, although be was
given unanimous consent 10 do so. The
motion TO engross was then adopted.

The most original argument ever
made, in this or any other State,
against civil service reform was ad-
vanced by Mr.. Wilkinson in the
State Senate yesterday. He pro-
nounced it failure in the Federal
service because the United States
had been getting deeper and deeper
into debt-since its adoption. The
man capable of originating such an
argument should shine in a higher
sphere than is open to him at An
napolis. He has the faculty, so
rarely found anywhere, of starting
up really new trains Of thought in
the minds Of men. Who will not
be led by his brilliant remark to seek
for other evidences of the effects
of civil service reform IN regions
which to the plodding, everyday
mind have seemed to be entirely
disconnected with it? For instance,
the pestilent grippe was never heard
OF in this country before the intro
duction of that other hateful pro-
duct of European civilization, the
merit system in the civil service.
Can anyone deny that since exami-
nations and permanence of tenure
have been the rule in the National
service, this new-fangled disease
has counted its American victims
by millions? TO be sure, many ar.
guments of the same force might be
advanced on the other side. The
cholera, for example, has been fal
more successfully kept out of oul
beloved land in the last dozen years
than it used to be when the spoill
system was in the flower of its glory
The war between the States, too
occurred before Civil Service Com
missions were heard of; since tn,
introduction of the merit system
we have not only had a unity coun
try, but all traces of sectional ami
mostly have died out. We congrat
ulate Mr.. Wilkinson on having giver
this wide extension to the play O
thought on the subject, and onl.
regret that it labors under the draw
back that if everything that hap
pened before the Pendleton bill wa
passed is to be credited to the spoil
system, and everything that hap
pened after is to be placed to tn,
credit of civil service reform, tn,
Legislature will hardly be able t.
