branches of public service were under CIVIL

master general reported there had been but

regime. But ii was from a moral stand
point he wished to consider the question.

He contrasted the spoils system with the
merit system. Civil-service REFORM he said,
was based on merit. lntrinsicaly and on
the face of ii the merit system is moral,

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

Fort Wayne, Ind, August 9.-The
opening meeting of the grand circuit
races to-day was quite successful. The
weather was fair, the track in good
condition and the attendance 1900.
There were three events on the card,
but no sensational time was made.
The three-year-old trot for a $1,000
purse had five entries. Fannie Fo>ey
was a hot favorite in the pools, but
Jack Miller proved surprise, how
ever, winning in straight heats. The
Abbot sold favorite on the 2:2S trot
and won the first two heats, then drop
ped to third place, was distanced in
the fourth, and Pastoral who was not
strongly backed in the betting, won the
race. st. Andre was also well backed
by the bookmakers, but could do no
better than second place. In the 2:2O
pace Elsinora and Walnut Lad sold
favorites, but could not justify the
claims Of their hackers, and had to be
content with low places. Silver
Chimes had a hot contest, but easily
won.

Secretary o. V. T. & L. A.

+ [Seall
1t may not be out of place for us to
state, in connection with this letter,
some few facts touching upon the
causes that led to the complaint made
against us while members of the or
ganization.
When the organization was formed,
we became active members in il. and
took a prominent part in effecting a
scale of prices for shoeing horses.
The scale so fixed was adhered to so
far as we knew. until we learned that
it was being violated by some of the
members cutting the prices, which
facts we accidentally learned through a
peculiar incident Having thus learn
ed what had been done, we made it
our business to investigate further, and
were satisfied of what was being done
in many instances. where the prices
had been cut, TO injure our trade and
take away our customers.
This prompted us to do likewise, in
order to hold our trade. One case in
particular occurred where the prices
were reduced below the scale more
than oncs The members finding that
that attempt to take our trade was
about TO fail, adopted another course.
They prefeT"ed charges against us and
imposed fine for doing the very thing
they were guilty of doing themselves.
The matter was finally taken to the
Trades Assembly and the complaint
made against us was. investigated by
the assembly and it refused to place
boycott, as requested.
The next plan adopted Vas an at
tempt to boycott us by circulating
cards among our customers. as we'll as
visiting them and stating we were boy
cotted.
The last movement prompted some
action upon our pert. and we decided
to communicate with the assembly.
asking that our position in that body
be explained, which was done, as the
letter above will show.
We know that we are not guilty of
the charge and that the imposition
practiced upon us was s2itemlness
upon their part, knowing our ability
TO do first class work in horseshoeing.
Another point Ye'desire 10 call at
tention to, that is, all organizations
that are admitted into the assembly
obligate themselves TO abide by the
decisions of the assembly. This they
did not, nor are they doing, when they
seek to boycott us locally, without the
endorsement or sanction OF that body.
We take pleasure in saying we be-
lieve in organizations, and repeat our
proposition, that we will place any
amount as a forfeit and guarantee that
we will abide by the prices fixed, If all
the other members will do likewise;
upon this fair basis and conditions we
will gladly return To the union. for we
believe in doing right and abiding by
the scale of prices whatever they may
be fixed at
We respectfully call the attention Of
the public, especially those who are
and have been our customers. 20 the
above plain statements and trust they
will not be misled by false statements
by committees or other persons in the
interest Of our enemies in the business.
