He never was a “Stalwart” in the sense of that word which Conkling, Cameron, and tho other Bosses have made odious, Ie fs no more and no tess of a Stalwart than Blaine, who invented thaward, or-Garfield, whom a Conklingite murdered, or John Sherman, or George F.

Kirkwood, or Ben Harrison, or C. 13, Farwell, or a hundred othor men consple- uous In public fife who were opposed to the third term first and last, Mr. Keifer was In a peeullar senso not 0 “Stalwart,” Inasmuch as he was nn original Tiayes‘man, and conthined, ta be the special representative of ex-President Hayes on the fluor of Congress after Gatfetd had aban- doned his cause, ‘The pretense that Mr. Kelfer ever gaye up Ilayes in Congress or out of {tis false. tHe always wos and sttil 13, and probably will long continue to be, onthe ‘tygst intinate tovms of personal and poiltteal ys fendship with the ox-President, Ie was ono of the delegates who nominated Mr Mayes at Cincinnat! tn 1876 by the practico of the art of “sticking,” and he lina “atuck” ever since, At Chicago lic was equally per- sistant In his devotion, first to John Shorman and then to James A.

PRACTICAL OIVIL-SERVICE REFORM, It was ono of President Garfleld’s purposes toappeal to Congress to provide by legistn- tlon nregular term. of offtes for nll the om- ployés of the various branches of the civil service of the United States, and to establish atenure under which no lncumbentshould bo removed during his term, unless for cause, This was to embrace ail the subordinate ofitces of tha Government, whieh would practlenlly Include four-fifths of all the per- sons In the civil service.
