IN HIS TRUE COLORS.

In choosing Washington, the seat Of Federal
Administration as the most appropriate place in
which to exploit his crude and demagOgic no.
tons of tenure In the Civil Service. the Boy
Orator candidate for the Presidency emphasized
once more the curously Illogical and Quixotic
strain in his composition. 1t is, perhaps. no more
extraordinary that he should affroni the sober
sentiment Of the capital and repel the interest
and sympathy of all Federal employees by urg-
ing return 10 the discredited "spos system
than that he should Insult the intelligence of
the wage-earners Of the country by insisting that
they will better their prospects and condition by
accepting pay for the future In fifty-thrce-cent
dollars. Ye, it is strlkingly illustrative of Mr..
Bryan's character and methods that on carrying
his canvass even into the non-vOting Federal Dis
trict he should at once excite dstrust and ALLEVIATE
support by advocating programme which would
subvert the present settled and admirable policy
OF Federal Administration. and threaten the ten
ure Of the whole army Of minor Federal office
holders.
The Boy Candidate has so far in his campaign
had little TO say about that plank in the Chicago
platform which proposes a return TO the corrupt
