Mr.. NckinIey's Civil Service Or
der.-There have been a good many inquir-
les OF late regarding the Presidents prom
ised and long delayed civil service or
der. by which some eight thousand p aces
at present under the civil servic will be
thrown open to- the SpOlsmen. This o.
der. it is understood, was prepared sho tly
after the election in November last TIE
announcement was made that il would
be issued in few days" The same
statement has been repeated from time to
time. and yet the order is still held back.
The hungry ofilceseekers are wondering If
II will ever be forthcoming They fear
that IL has been somehow lost in the shut
fe. member OF the Civil Service Com
mission expressed the opinion yesterday
that Mr.. Mckinley would never issue the
order. The President" he added. mas

have come TO him from nearly every SEC
ton of the country against the omu,-
cation of the order. | think that MIR Nc
kinley is not displeased over the s.tua-
ton. He has the order prepared. l am
advised, out of Difference to the wisnes
of the spoilsnlen. At the same time he
took steps to sound public sentiment upon
the matter BY permitting a summary of
the contemplated change TO get into the
newspapers. The condemnation of the
proposed invasion of the civil service raw
was so universal that I am satisfied that
Mr.. Mckinley will never issue the order.
Mr.. Mckinley, unlike a great many of his
predecessors in the White House. has
very wholesome regard for public opin-
ion. He will never go counter to wat
he becomes convinced is the real sent
ment of the majority Of the people of the

General HHwIey'- Senatorial Con-
'cst.-The senatorial fight in the Nutmeg
State is attracting great deal of atten-
tion, which will culminate at the Repub-
lican caucus at Hartford tomorrow even
ing. Senator Hawley's seat is the bone OF
contention. He is just closing out his third
consecutive term. and there are number
CT distinguished gentlemen in Connecticut
who think that Hawley ought to be salts
fled to retire on his laurels. However,
General Hawlcy does not agree with them
and he is putting up a game fight to hold
his job. Although about seventy years of
age. Senator Hawley declares that he is
still young man. He has not apparently
lost much OF his vigor National Commit
teeman Samuel Fessenden. former Cos.
Morgan G.. Bulkeley and Representa-
tive Russell are Hawley's principal ri
walls. Russell is looked upon as a nromis-
ing dark horse in the event of a deadlock
Fessenden and Bulkeley are both wealthy
men. and each has had an ambition to
wear the senatorial toga for some time.
Neither is likely to throw his support TO
the other. however as there are mutual
accusatins of bad faith between them
There will be Two hundred votes in the
caucus and it will require a majority of
that number TO nominate. Hawlev's
friends claim hat more than enough are
pledged to him to give him the victory.
but it is quite evident even at this dis
tance that General Hawley is meeting
with more opposition than at any period
of his senatorial career.

GENERAL POLITICAL.
NOTES AND GOSSIP.

senator YIdpr's Speech.-"Senator
George Frisbie Hssar is regarded as an able
man. remarked a senator in commenting
on the speech delivered by the Massachu-
sets Senator in the Senate yesterday. but
| was amazed at the lack of tact that he
displayed in the presentation of his anti
expansion views, For instance, he said
that he spoke asia Federalist. n follower of
Alexander Hamilton. Henry Clay, Daniel
Webster and Charles Sumner. Shades OF
the immortal Jefferson think of man
getting up in the Senate and invoking
Democratic support on that ground, 1t
strikes me that no Democratic senator who
has any regard for consistency or respect
for the traditions of his party can afford to
any longer identify himself with the anti
expansionists. There is one thing how
ever, TO MIR. Hoars credit He is more
careful in his statements and assertions
than Mr.. Bryan. The latter would have
us believe that Thomas jefferson, Andrew
Jackson and all the great leaders of the
Democratic party OF the past were anti-ex-
pansionists, when the reverse is the case.
do not think however. that Senator Hoar
displayed good judgment in bringing this
fact out so prominently. He should have
had more consideration for the feelings OF
the few misguided DemocratS%ho have ar
rayed themselves against expansion. Mr.
Hoar was near the truth in classifying
Hamilton. Clay, Webster and Sumner as
-eXpansionists. Hamilton as a matter
OF TACT, however, was a rank imperialist
He did not believe that the people could be
trusted to govern themselves. He favored
the establishment of limited monarchy
Nebsters speech against the annexation of
Texas as unconstitutional is generally
conceded to have cost him the Presidency
Mr.. Clay failed 10 reach the White House.
likewise Mr.. Sumner. Mr.. Bryan and other
Democratic statesmen should take warn
ing. Who knows but what Senator Hoar is
trying in his own peculiar way to kill off
the Democratic leaders of the present gen.
Grafton? | think that this suggestion is
worthy of serious consideration"
