The Ohio Republican State Con-
vention commended President Mckinley
for his "iudicious notifications of the
Civil Service rules" that is, for
breaking them down for the purpose
of throwing open about five thousand
official positions to, the spoilsmen and
place-hunters. We doubt that the
people of the country, however, will be
so 'complaisant They are more likely
to resent such deliberate assault
upon the public interests.
