Mr. George R. Duvls, tho West Side Con- pgressinan, has apparently o peeullur theory a8 to the purpose of Government oflice, e Is reported ns fuslsting that some of the Gov- ernment appointiments In Chiengoe should be mude from his district, beeause that district Is “doubtful,” nnd tothis end he persistgntly urges somo candldite of his own for every Government position in tho city, whether there be o vacaney or nol. According to this notlon, vaeancies should be ereated by the removal of efttefent and satistactory Repub- Ileun ofticers In order to make room for Mr. George R. Davis' Inw-partner or henchmen, "T'horo Is reason 1o believe that the West Slie Congresstuan wil find some diflieulty in con- vinclng Presldent Garfleld of the justjce of thiy procedure, Mz, Gieorge R. Davis may make n valuabto contribuglon to the seience of political ccon- omy i he will kindly demonstrato just how theappolntmentof his Inw-vnrtneror favorils tp oftiee cun operato to make the West, Side less ** doubtful® fn Congresslonnl contests than hofore.® It - possible that ‘the West Sldo Demoerats will eontinue to vote the Domoeratle tieket It Ald.

'The persons who areapt to bemost disgrantied at thefail- ura to seenro the appolntment of Mr, Davls’ favorits are Mr. Davis and hisspecinl favorits, WL he admit that ho nnd they propose to go over to the Democrats unless President Gnr- fleld turns out Republicans to make room for them? And, i this be 8o, Is he of opin- fon that such an fntentlon Is a good recom- mendation for appointment, n proper test of Republieanlsi, or n satisfactory evidence of fitness ? Mr, treorge I Davis might bo more fronk with the Prestdent by his capaclty of oflice- broker, aud perhaps equally suceessful in his efforts, Ile might sny to tho President that cortaln men on the West S{do who know how to manipulate ward-enucuses had ns- slsted hilm to securp the Republicun nomina- tion for Congress, 1lo might ndd thy Qen, Gnrejd’s strength pulled dim through the distrlet and elected him along with other Ro- publican Qandidates on tho ticket, 110 might then say that e \Lurynmuh desirod to reward thoso who had helpud him to get Into Gen.
