MR.. BRYAN AND THE sPOILs.

Mr. Robert Underwood Johnson,
associate editor Of the Century
Magazine, is an able and truthful
man. He declares that he had
conversation with Mr.. Bryan last
MAY at the White House, during the
conference Of governors, in which Mr..
Bryan expressed himself in favor of
distributing public offices among the
political parties, according to their
voting strength, thereby doing away
with the civil service system and
placing the government under the
spoils system.
Mr.. Johnson is quoted as follows
regarding this conversation with Mr..
BRYAN:
Meeting Mr. Bryan at the White
House one morning last May during
the conference Of governors on the
conservation of national resources, I
said to him: "Mr Bryan, when are
Won going to become interested in
civil service reformq You know you
must come to it sooner or later, as
the merit system is the only practical
way of running the service"
To this he responded in voice that

he has done one thing He has turned
his back on what principles he pro-
fessed in 1896 and 1900, and crossed
over, soul and body, to the enemy.
Mr.. Bryan's record is the VIM .

wind-the record Of the East wind of
Democracy, that has chilled and
bliehtnd every prospect the party
had.-New York American.

might have been heard by a dozen
persons near us:
Why, I am interested in civil
service reform. | believe everybody
who enters the service should do so
on his merits But I have plan of
my own. I believe that the officers
should be divided among the parties,
In proportion to their political
strength.''
And you would include in this
arrangement third parties also?"
"Certainly,' said Mr. Bryan, with
out flinching.
At this point our conversation was
Interrupted by the opening of the SEES
sion, and [ did not ascertain the de-
tails of Mr. Bryan's project.
This is one Of the most novel sug-
gestiOns ever made concerning the
distribution of Offices. Presumably,
if Mr.. Bryan were elected, he would
abolish civil service, or so much of it
as comes within the executive power
and that is most Of it. Then he
would carefully proportion the offices
among Democrats, Republicans, So
cialists, Prohibitionists, Populsts,
and other parties according to the
popular vote. Nearly one-half Of the
Offices under President Bryan would
be filed, therefore, by Republicans
Of his choosing! A majority of the
Offices would be filed by Republicans,
Populists, Prohibitionists, Socialists,
and other non-Democrats!
Would Mr.. Bryan stick to his plan
in the filling Of cabinet positions?
Would he have about one-half of his
advisers members Of a political party
opposed to him, and interested in
defeating his policies? Certainly
not; and yet, how could he avoid
such a course if he should earnestly
try to follow his plan?
Mr.. Bryan's "plan" is hardly
calculated to appeal to the thirsty
and hungry Democratic host, unless
it is in reality scheme to upset the
civil service and I'll all the Offices with
Democrats. But he cannot afford to
advocate such a scheme, for such
advocacy would ALLEVIATE more votes
than it would gain. The civil service
system is firmly established, and no
party dares to abolish it.
Why, then, did Mr.. Bryan make
such suggestion? Was it because
he finds it impossible to resist the
allurement of novel, absurd, unwork-
able theories ?-Washington Post.

This provoked fight between two of the
