uuce, as our experience shows 1t did,
"a principle of intrigue and corruption
which would soon leaven the whole
mass, not only of senators, but of citi-
zens." 1t was his Judgment that it
would as we have seen that it did,
keep in excitement all the hungry
cormorants for Office, rendering them,
as well as those in place sycophants
to their senator's" and making of con-
gress what all directories become,

The strongest arguments the reformers

the first Democratic president The bat
tie has been fought and the principal
works carried leaving to the future the
extension of the reform to state and
municipal government, task rendered
easy by the admirable results Of what
has been accomplished
And yet we have the strange specta-
Gle OF man claiming to be q Demo-
crat, representing party claiming to
be Democratic, setting himself in op-
position to reform begun by one and
finished. practically. by another presi-
dent, the Democracy of neither of
whom is open to question And why :?
Because 1.-The American people are not
in favor of a life tenure" There is no
life tenure in the civil service Reten-
ton is dependent on good behavior and
capacity. Any appointee is subject to
discharge for cause at any time. Mr.
Bryan is not candid Had he said what
the Chicago plank means, he would
have said that the American people are
not in favor of the merit system of
appointment to office. And where
would he have found ground for his
statement? Surely not in any action
of the people. 1t is absurd to say that
reform could have grown from the
jerks act to it's present state if the
people had not favored It, Politicians
certainly did not and, in large meas
ure, do not, but that they have not
dared to let their opposition show itself
In hostile legislation is the best proof
that the people do favor the system
Not only is this evident in the ma
tional field, but wherever the system
has been introduced in state or city, In
New York and Massachusetts it's
growth has been steady against the
bitter opposition of the politicians The
people in the former state anchored it
to their constitution by an enormous
majority. Even the city of Chicago,
politician-ridden as it is and Shiny as
its politics are, adopted the reform for
the city, when submitted to the voters,
by a majority of over $4,000 In the face
of these overwhelming proofs of public
acquiescence and approval what nom
sense 1t is to say that the American
people do not approve of it. But to
what condition has the party come
when it's presidential candidate can OPP
pose a system that is, in all it's fea-
lures, so essentially Democratic? 1t
but adds another justification for the
existence of the National Democratic
party. and, If they need it, for the
votes Of Democrats for it's nominees.

this state of things had been predicted

allowed to do as much as he can and
wants to and no more; that his bills
ought to be paid, because the poor
man must live: and that the question
whether or not offal Is actually carried
away is one of secondary consequence
altogether.
So this, which ought to be the very
first requirement of a civilized people
and a decent community, has been
made the plaything of politicians and

THE ADDRESS TO REPJBLTCINS.

The triumph of the people over the bosses at
ST. Louis has given new stimulus to the de-
mands of the Republican voters of this state
that their primaries shall be honestly conduct
ed and that their voice in the politics of the
State shall not be nullifed by politicians who
arrogate 10 themselves control of the party
The address issued yesterday by Il large mum
Der of the bcst-known Republicans from all
parts of the State, protesting against fraudu-
lent methods of party management. demanding
that there be no snap caucuscs and conventions
hereafter. and advising Republicans in all To-
calites where the will of the voter is sti1cd TO
take measures to have their wrongs rightcd. is
the direct result of the nomination of Mcitin-
ley and the consequent encouragement Of in
divdual Republicans in the belief that they
have rights which bosses are bound to respect.
and that if they will arouse themselves they
can win here as they did at st. Louis
The address is extremely Significant 1t is
a moderate document. ccnservatively worded.
and as far as possible from being incendary
in tone But it is more than manifesto. II is
more than call to duty. 1t is a solemn pledge
Of men well known in politics that they have
begun Il battle for honest party management,
from which they will not withdraw until every
crcisc his due influence in nominating can
didates ard shaping policies. 1t is protest
armed with force of personal devotion. which
must make ii effective. II * no new thing for
Republican voters to complain that they are
trodden under foot. but. unfortunately. such
is the strength of organization that it is eX
tremcly difficult for a vote: or an isolated com
munity of voters to redress their wrongs. Now
