He is very regular in his attendance on the house and watches the proceedings generally from his desk, near the rear of the hall of representatives. CHAMP CLARK HIGHLY PLEASED. Congressman Champ Clark is no less enthusiastic over the democratic outlook than his colleague from Leb anon. He says: The prospects are that the demo- crats will capture the congressmen in every district next year that did 5,000 republican That would not have at least majority last time. giveusanywhere from 50 to 100 majority in the next house. Mis- souri will send at least fourteen dem- » ocrats to congress next time. The silver sentiment, instead of dying out, is increasing everywhere. We will not only reaffirm but re- adopt the Chicago platform, word for word, and renominato Bryan in 1900. With him we will put some man like Joseph C. Sibley, of Penn- sylyania, whose fealty to the cause cannot be questioned and whose ability will be of service in the ¢am- paign.’ CIVIL SERVICE IS DOOMED. “The civil service reform business as now conducted,” continued Mr. Clark, “is a fraud of the first water. There are not two dozen men in the house who are not really in favor of it, and yet it seems impossible to re peal it The republican advocacy of itis the monumental hypocrisy of the age. Hiarrieou didn’t pay any attention to the civil service except to use it for republican ends, and Cleveland used it only for personal ends. Me- Kinley will follow suit. I am op- posed to the life teaure system in every class of office. I favor elect- ing United states judges for a term of years. Rotation in office should be the theory of a true civil service.
