WASHINGTON. oct. civilian ].
Bryan spent an hour ard a quarter at the
national capital to-day. His train arrived
over the Chesapeake and OHIO halfway
| from West Virginia at $50 O'Clock this
| morning an hour late. About LOCO people
were waiting tor him at the depot
AIR. Bryan was taken to the residence OF
Judge Springer opposite the CAPITOL
| where Mr.. Bryan had breakfast.
A few minutes before o'clock Mr..
Bryan was driven to the Baltimore and
Ohio depot, where he made u brief speech
from his automobile He spoke on i'm
perialism and civil service. About $500
people We're massed about the depot. Mr..
Bryan said:
Occasionally I hear it suggested that
persons engaged in the civil service who
are opposed to imperialism will vote the
Republican ticket for fear of losing their
positions with the Government. Ger
tainly there are not many who would pre-
fer government employment under an
empire to whatever risk might attend their
employment under a republic. l am not
much of an admirer of that civil service
which is suspended when Il President is
inaugurated until he can fill the offices
with his friends and is extended by the
President when ne is about to retire, in
order that he may protect his friends in
office. i believe that q system of civil ser
vice might be devised wherein appoint
lnents would be made upon merit and
wherein the appointees would hold for a
fixed term and not be dependent upon the
will Of an appointing officer. The indus
trial despotism now naugurated by the
Republican party is closing the door of OPP
portun!ty against the young man and drlV-
ing many to seek government employ
ment who under better conditions would
be employed in producing industries
Mr. Bryan closed with the statement
that it was not his highest ambition 10 be
President, '.but TO make this Government
SO good that to be a private citizen in this
republic would be greater honor than to
be a king in any other nation
Mr.. Bryan's first speech was made on
the platform erected outside Music Hall,
and the plaza surrounding the stand was
crowded as far back as Mr.. Bryans voice
could possibly be heard He was intro
duced by Mayor Hayes. Inside the hall
the scene was an inpir;ng one. Every inch

was nearly all the old time leaders of the

Whyte and former Senator German. who

decade.

Mr.. Bryan's speeches were along his
usual lines. and upon the conclusion Of the
