PLAN oF oLEvEIANp pEMocRATs.


The Cleveland Democrats in Illinois
have decided to have a state central
committee of their own, and to ignore
State Chairman Hinrichsen's @com-
bination," as they are pleased to term
it. A special committee having the
matter in charge reported in favor Of
organizing committee consisting of
two members from each congressional
district and four from the state at
large, to have charge Of the campaign
against the state central committee.
From this it is plain what the in
tention of these men is. 1t is to carry
out the plan that has been limited at
before-to put the Chicago convention
into the hands of the goldbugs by
hook or crook, to GUST enough silver
delegations from it to make it safe
gold standard body 1t is alleged that
the national committee will do the
bidding of Grover Cleveland in this
matter, and all know what that bid
ding would be- 1t would be to recog-
nize the sound money delegation
from Illinois.
We say that it is to carry out this
scheme that these honest money"
Democrats of Illinois have met and
decided upon plan Of action whose
object is to fight the regular Demo
cratic organization. In saying this We
are justified by the resolutions they
adopted. Those resolutions protest
against the methods of the silver men
of the party in the state, and declare
that the fight should be taken to the
state and national convention if nee
essary.
Each day the goldbugs in the party
become more and more desperate.
They realize that almost the entire
silver sentiment of the country is in
the Democratic party, and that it
dominates that party, and that all the
chances are that the silver men will
control the Chicago convention. They
are moving heaven and earth to pre-
vent them from controlling the con-
vention, which means the making of
the platform and nominating the can
didate. Their infamous schemes should
be defeated.
1t would be a good plan for the sill
yer delegates to get into Chicago sew
eral days ahead of the meeting of the
convention and come to common I'M
Outstanding as to a plan of action as
to their course in the convention, if
they perceive any attempt to in any
way defraud them. With such an I'M
derstanding, and with skilful parlia-
mentary leaders, the attempt would be
almost impossible Of accomplishment.

THE sPo1Ls SYSTEM.

Many and various comments have
been made upon the recent order of the
president extending the. classified SER
vice to some twenty-nine thousand Of
fee holders. The Boston Journal, a
very radical Republican paper declares
that the recent order has conferred a
real benefit upon the Republican party
by taking the thousands of officers af-
fected out of possible distribution of
spoils and putting them in the CLASH
fed service.
1t is to be feared that this will not
be the view generally taken of the mat
ter by the Republican party if it sue
ceeds to power next November, yet it
is true all the same. Spells are a gem
uine curse to a party. OF the whole
number of the people very few indeed
are Office seekers. and of that number
disappointment. And these nine be-
come enemies Of the appointing power.
And the fortunate ones. When they
have ceased to hold office, too often
they find that the ordinary avocations
of life are distasleful TO them, that
they are very largely united for fol-
lowing every day pursuits. Again,
those appointees who have enjoyed
presidential favor would rarely be the
choice of the people.
There could be no more pernicious
idea in politics than that "to the vic
tors belong the spoils." Even Marcy
tired of it, as all men who are in offices
to which there is considerable patron
age attached tire of it.
Public offices should be administered
for the benefit of the public at large
and not for the purpose of paying any
ones political debts or entrenching
any party in power 1t is really a dis
grace to our government that SO much
OF the presidents time should be given
up to the business of ladling out soup.
By extending the classified service
the president has conferred a real
benefit upon the whole country, which
includes the Democratic and Republi-
can parties.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

The county Democratic committee,
through Chairman Dunbar, has issued
a call for primaries to be held Monday
evening, June l. in the various pre-
cincts of Salt Lake City, and a mass
primary to the precincts outside of the
city at Murray at the same time.
These primaries win elect delegates
direct to the state convention for that
purpose This is somewhat of an in
novation, but the reasons for it are
that at the present time it would be
very inconvenient for the outside pre-
cincts to hold separate primaries and
elect delegates to a county convention,
as the delegates so elected might have
to neglect important work to attend.
1t would have meant the sending of
several hundred men to the city who
could ill-afford to spare the time. An
other consideration was that a county
convention would entail a very con-
siderable expense, which will be avoid
ed by the plan adopted. The plan ap-
pears to be a wise one and will no
doubt meet with general approval by
the Democrats.
