C.. Dec. -13.—Senntor George Hl. Pendleton made a speech in the Senate today which is thought by many to have u personal politleal significance. Mr. Pendleton appeared to advocato his blll for securing civil-service reform by legislation. The subject itself is a matter of assumed if not sincere Interest on the part of Senators. But it was not any interest in the subject of civil-service reform that gave Mr. Pendleton his audience today, Ithad been announced in the newspapers that he wns to speak, and as Mr. Pendieton is one of the Senators with a reputation, the galleries were well filed. The reputation which Mr, Pendleton has be brought with him Into the Senate. That hoe has done nothing since he has been there to add to It, is said to be THE RESULT OF DESIGN ~ ¢ on his part. It was sald at times during tho preylous session that Mr. Pendleton would speedily come to the front and endeavor to take his plnco ns tho public and pronowneed leader of his party. The oceasion which ha was reported to have decided upon for duing this was that whicl the opportunity to pre- vent and speak upon acivil-service reform bith should offer, Inthe course of the Senate's business thls opportunity came today. Ls unquestionably added to’ the attractions of the occasion that Mr. Pendleton ts believed by many public men to aspire for the Prosl- dential nomination of his party IN 1834, Those who believe this havo sald in polttt- clans’ Idiom that the specch of Mr. Pendle ton upon civil-service reform would be his first open bld for that nomination. Somo men claim to know that Mr. Pendleton pro- poses to follow up whatever advantage may accrue to him from his position yory actively to the day the convention mects. Whether or not common rumor is correct lit thls matter, It unquestionably added to the Juterest which attends Mr. Pendleton’s pub- Ne performances, His spoech was carefully written out, put into type, and some of big friends had an opportunity of reading it be- fore they heard it, IT WAS DELIVERED, however, with most infrequent reforences to the manuseript. Mr, Pondicton is regarded as a gootl speaker, though. not: an orator of tho highest merit, Ils volco is net strong, and at thes he Usps a little, but he Js grace- ful, polished In manner and utterance, and rarely permits himself to become heated. He has not the hot, tempestuous way of Beck, nor the plain, straightforward matter-of-fact style that characterized Thurmnn’s meaty speeches, Yet, In some particulars, ho suggests both of these men, He has aged but little sinca seventeen years ago, when ‘he was the candidate for Vice-President. Ils beard 1s becoming gray, and he is of wu little fuller habit, ‘The Democratic Stuators kené thelr sents, Istening closely to hits spcech, Kasson and.

Some of the Republican Senators aeomed to be paying no attention, Mr, Morrlil, for instance, was busy writlng, but it was noticed that Mr, Morrill throw down his*pen and jumped up wifen ho thought ho had Afr. Pendleton on the hip, and ‘asked him a partisan question. Mr. Morrill, like other Republican Senators, If they-had their eyes on paper certaluly gave Mr, Pendleton thelr vars, Mit, PENDLETON’S WILT, in brief, provides for 9 Board of Examiners for applicants of tho minor grades of olficera, It makes the holder of ofice not liable to re moval except for cause, In many respects, itis the English system, Mr, Pendleton be-\, gan his speech by alluding to the assasina- tlon of Garfleld, cinkning that it was the direct result of what he called “the spoils system.” He drew what was Intended to be a very vivid picture of Guiteau’s disappoint- r incnt, and from that went on to speak of the evils which the present system of the civil service; in his oyluion, produced. Accorde ing to his Idea, thiqloyo of money, of place, of power, which the civil service system prov duced, resulted In ‘Te MONT FEROCIOUS ACTIVITY * for party success, and hoe asserted thatthe syaten made It possible for the. greatest re- wards {n polities to go t6 those who do its dirtiest work. 10 alluded, by way “of illus tration, to the Jetter written by United States , Judge Reeves to President Arthur, during the recent canvass in Virginia, in which the Judge asked for. cortaln-appolntinent, on the ground that it would help the Republican party in Virginia, ‘This Mr, Pendleton chure aotorized as solling the ermine in a way thas would be impossibve under any other systeus terlatly increast the efliclency of the torce, and permit of the employment of additional policemen without any additional expense to the taxpayers, 3 ——Mr. Aldrich introduced a bill in the Louse yesterday giving authority to the City of Chicago to grant Dearborn Park to the Library Board for building. purposes, The same gentleman introduced a bill to establish a branch mint at Chicago, and also one providing for the establishinent of an Essay Office in this city.

Pendleton dellvered a romarkable speech on civil-service reform In the Sonata yestorday, Ho scathingly de- nounced the spoils system and Its upholders, and polnted out Its corrupting and demoral- izing tendencies, He appealed to his own party to favor reform, to renounce the spotls system, and to bg bolt enough to be honest in the matter, Senator Dawes took excep- tion to Pendioton’s strictures on his (Dawes) letters on clyil-service reform; Voorhees In- terjected his resolutions favoring the election of United.
