Mora G. O. p. Reform.

Now that the Republicans find tneHl-
selves safely entrenched in power Tor
three years at least, they are beginning
to shake off the mask of political purity
and holiness which they have worn Ter
several years, and to show their natural
face. They do not talk as much as they
did about desiring power Only that they
might keep down the race track monster
the Hudson county ring, smallpox, yell
low fever and the summer song bird OF
the meadows; they are now beginning 10
elamor for OFFICE. Numbers of the
workers nave represented to the leaders
that there are numbers of offices, with
generous salaries attached at the state
House. now occupied by Democrats, which
they think these ought to be given to the
faithful for services rendered.
Now 1t is well to remember that IN al
most every case where a Democrat holds
an office at all after three years OF
Griggsism, he has held it for years and
years, and has continued to do so only
because he is proficient in the duties to
such an extent tina the department which
he is in would be seriously crippled while
waiting for a raw Republican ward hee'er
to even form a slight acquaintance with
the work.
For instance, there is the case Of Alex
o,anr ~ p;okav Demnarat who for
thirty years has filled the Office of Deputy
Secretary of State at a salary of $1,000 per
annum. The duties of the Secretary Of
State have increased amazingly within
the past thirty years. especially IN the
matter of corporations, and Mr.. Hickey
has become familiar with them to a de-
gree which it would take a new conner
years to attain. While the new conner
would be gaining experience, the condi-
ton of the Office would be a state OF
chaos, and the public interests would suf-
fer. So, too, in the cases of Edward Fox,
who has been executive clerk to ten Gov
ernors, and Frederick S. McNeeley, Dcpu-
ty state comptroller, VINO Iof niteen years
has been the chief bookkeeper of the State
and a long number of other Office holders
in the State House. AS each Governor.
Secretary of State or Comptroller has
come into Office. he has recognized the
eminent fitness of these men for the posi-
lions they occupy, and the great benefit
their services are to the interests of the
State, has ~re-appointed them over and
over, again and again, without consider
ing for a moment whether they are Demo-
Gratis or Republicans.
But what matters this to the hungry
Republicans? In their eyes, the spells be-
long to the ~victors, their platform utter
anees to the contrary, Notwithstanding.
What care they for the public interests
or the manner in which the affairs of the
State are carried on so long as they get
a good office? And so, Notwithstanding
the endorsement of these Democrats by
the last three Republican Governors,
Messrs. Griggs, Voorhees, and Watkins,
these patriots of the Essex type insist
that they be turned out, and their salaries
bestowed upon them, not because of any
peculiar fitness for the places they want,
but simply because they are Republicans.

Justice of the Peace Oscar Sehlichti1g
Of Hoboken, while on his way home last

man who said that a couple in the Hotel
Amsterdam wanted to be married. The

founda party in waiting. The couple had

Mr.. Ketcham's Boom.

It was an edifying sight in the corridors
of the State House at Trenton, yester-
day, to see the dignifed and strictly
proper George w. Ketcham, Senator from
Essex County, hustling about for votes
for President of the Senate. Who would
have thought that the great champion Of
American tin plate would ever come to
buttonholding Senators and asking them
to vote for him, because he came from
Essex and Essex did such excellent work
in saving the State to the Republicans at
the last election.
Mr.. Ketcham had nothing to say of his
own services to the State and the county
he represents during the five years he
has been in the Upper House, simply be-
cause he could find nothing to say. Nor
did he refer to his ~vaeillating course on
bills Of great Importance when he changed
his views back and forward SO frequently
that he became the laughing stock Of the
State.
He simply relied upon the claims which
the Republicans Of Essex had upon every
thing in sight, and as he represented
Essex he should have the honor. In order
to back up this absurd claim, he had his
friend Franklin Murphy. send a letter to
all the Republican Senators asking them
to vote for Mr.. Ketcham for President.
