HE Richmond Renublica

The Richmond Republican Con-
vention made the friends of the
merit system in the civil service
grieve by their resolution asking
the President in effect to make APP
pointments for reasons of partisan
services instead Of fitness for the
Office. Civil Service Reform is a
distinctively Republican policy,
though President Cleveland favored
it and extended it during each of
his terms, giving the Republican
Office holders the benefit. Perhaps
it is not too much to say that
three fourths of the advantage in
applying the law reforming the
civil service has gone to Republi-
cans. The Republican national plat
form endorses it. 1t is q far back
ward step to re-adopt the spoiIs
system. But there ought to be an
end to hypocritical applications of
the civil service laws or rules, and
il they are not consistently and
fairly administered they ought to
be abandoned entirely, 30 that if
the next administration should be
Bryanic every Republican in the
Federal civil service will have to
move promptly to the beheading
block, without a whimper from
his fellow Republicans.
