DEMOCRATS GREEDY
REFUSAL TO CONFIRM NOMINA.
TiONs is UNFAIR.
Republicans We're Much More Liberal
and Patriotic When Cleveland
Was Going Out Of Office.
According to Records

The Democrats are exhibiting q
reprehensible degree of greed in re-
fusing TO confirm nominations made in
regular course by the president, on the
specious pretext. as advanced by Hoke
smith, that they have not time for
their adequate examination. Records
show that when the Democrats were
going out of power at the close of the
two administrations of Mr. Cleveland
the Republicans treated the situation
in much more liberal and patriotic
way.
Conversely. the Democrats were
equally keen on the scent for spoils in
corresponding crises in the past Presi-
dent Harrison, in the short session fol
lowing the Republican defeat of 1892.
nominated Howell f. Jackson. a
Democratic senator from Tennessee,
to the Supreme court OF the United
States. because the president realized
that the Democrats would not confirm
Republican. Fearing that they
would also prefer Democrat of their
own choice to one of his. he ayailed
himself OF that senatorial courtesy
which required the prompt confirma
tion of Jackson. Just as it did that
of Senator Edward d. White on Mr..
Cleveland's appointment few years
later.
Mr.. Taft has acted with conspicuous
fairness in all these patronage mat
ters. He has been the most nonpar
tisan of presidents. To the Supreme
court he has named two Democrats,
and promoted third to the Office of
chief justice. He has named many
young men from the South to places
in the consular service to equalize the
partisan distribution. In these circum-
stances it i'll BELTS Democrats to make
so sickening an exhibition of clamor
for Office

that the surest way to save this ad-
vantage is to retain thep resent law
and make it stronger by amendment.
The commission, however, suggests no
plan for including other public utili,
ties. On the other hand, bills have
been prepared. which, | understand.
