ATALE WITH A MEMBER OF THE BOAED OF REVISION— THE QUESTIONS PRACTICAL AND NOT PEDANTIO— SOME SPECIMEN BRICKS FROM BXAMINATION PAPERS. “I regarded the examination as practical, and as well adapted for the purpose arrived at as could be expected for a new system,” remarked a mem- ber of the committee on revision-that has recently completed the work of examining the papers of candidates for appointment in the civil service. ‘These papers were sent in from all parts of the country, and the civil service commission was aided by the committee in grading them. The gentleman who made the remark recorded above was asked by a Stan reporter what he thought of ee payee recently inaugurated by the commis- “The mere fact of preliminary examination,” he continued, “is nothing more than we have ‘been accustomed to in the departments. The improve- ments effected by the new system, if carried out 1n good faith, are in making access to the public service possible to all qualified persons and rost- ing the tenure of office on merit. THE “INS” SATISFIED. “Well, you see,” remarked a fellow-clerk, with a laugh, “there will be nothing gained by putting us out of office now, thatis to the people who have the power of removals, and $0 the main rea- ‘son for dismissals 1s eliminated.” “You are, perhaps, surprised,” resumed the first speaker, “to near me commend so warmly the recent examinations. But I think it ts de- served. The questions, to my mind, were of such @ character and so framed as to ascertain the gen- eral intelligence of the candidates and technical fitness for clerical position. You can tell from the general character of the answers that.a person gives to a series of questions on various topics, although he may not give the correct answer to all, what his mental eapacity and training is, This 4s all an examination of this sort can develop.” NO ADVANTAGE FOR PERSONS JUST FROM SCHOOL, “I suppose, though,” suggested the reporter, “that a person fresh from school—” “Has the advantage?” was the quick interrup- tion, “Not atall There is just where a great mistake 1s made. This was no school-boy examt- nation; and the proof of it lies 1m the fact that the best examinations passed were by those who had had clerical experience, and not by persons fresh from school and college. ‘This shows that the examination was practical and so devised as to bring out the qualities which are necessary in @ good clerk.” THE BEST RIAMINATIONS IN WASHINGTON, “As you have read in the papers, no doubt,” he Went on, “the best examinations for the whole country were those passed im Washington, and the major part of the candidates were former clerks. Everybody must admit that a knowleage of grammar and arithmetic ls necessary to be a good clerk, and tho questions were mainly on these subjects. Of course we had a few questions on geography and American history, but these were given to test the GENERAL INTELLIGENCE OF THE CANDIDATE. Their inethod of answering them was fair test of their acquaintance with these subjects, and even if they did not answer correctly, you could tell whether thetr ignorance was dense or merely lack of accuracy in memory as to particulars. The candidate was credited with whatever in his answers exhibited accurate knowladge of the sub- Ject under consideration, whether the answer was exhaustive or not. I may say, to put the ‘whole matter in a single remark, that the man who can- not pass creditably the examinations which have been pursued ts not fit for the clerical service, and if he does pass them creditably I have no doubt but that he will become a capabie clerk.” “There is one theory,” he went on to say. “which you would be interested in knowing, au that is, as far as my observation went, the com- mission and all thetr assistants manifested a con- Sclentious desire to get all the good possible to the service out of the execution of the law, and 1n pur- Suit of this object showed good common sense, an absence of anything visionary or smacking of ‘pe- dantry, and a spirit of justice, tempered with kind- ness and determined courage.” SOME CURIOUS ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS. “You seem to have a very good opinion of the examiners and their work.

In my opinion the persons who made such answers are not fit to be intrusted with overnment work.

Voorhees remarked, as a sort of face to his conversation, that’ “Hendricks was rfeclly frank, and nothing to conceal.” endricks told Voorhees, in the first place, flatty, that he was not in the race, elther as a candidate for President or a8 an essential part of the old HENDRICKS EXPLAINS HOW HE WAS INTERVIEWED. Heexplained that the Interview so extensively pub- Ushed and commented upon had puthim ina false position, but that, owing tothe peculiar circum- stances and conditions under which It took peed he could not set himself right by a counter inter- view or any public statement contradicting the original. 6 Interviewer was one “Jap Turpin,” ‘4 journalist of Bohemian procitvities, we!l-known throughout Indiana. He visited Hendricks and found him alone. Turpin has for years been a staunch r of Hondricks, and the latter Tecelved him very cordially. 1 conversation very soon became political, ana Turpin began to descant upon Hendricks’ great popularity, his strength with the people, etc. e @X-governor Ustened very placidly to these praises of hlmscif, and finally rpin said: “Governor, the demo- crats ought to renominate the old ticket of Tilden and Hendricks next year. It would be sure to win.” In support of this he remarked that there were forty-six papers in Indiana favorable to the old ticket, and numer- ous others would proclaim themselves in Its be- halt if there was any assurance that Tilden and Hendricks would consent to run. Hendricks told Voorhees that, in response to this assertion he re- marked that be believed there was a “great deal of affection for the old ticket,” and that the reat outrage” of 1876-77 would, in another can- Vass render that ticket stronger than before. He sald he did very little talking, his part of the con- versation consisting principally of assent to the various statements and propositions of Turpia. Hendricks affirmed that he DID NOT FOR A MOMENT SUSPECT HE WAS BEING IN- ‘VIEWED, but supposea he was simply engaged in private conyersation with an old acquaintance. He was, he declared, astounded at the appearance of the interview. He had not, he said, expressed himself as quoted, but he had, out of politeness and con- ‘sideration for his visitor, given a quiet assent, fre- quently by a simple nod, to the utterances of Tur- in. As he had thus assented to what was sald, @ id not feel at liberty to deny the interview, buc it none the less misrepresented him. Now it was, doubtless, upon the strength, if that talk with Hendricks that Voorhees recently stated. With 80 much positiveness that the ex-governor Was not an aspirant for either the presidency; vice presidency. The promptness with which Hendricks denied Voorhees’ authority to se ik for nia tends to confirni the suspicion there has en. A COVERT UNDERSTANDING BRTWEEN TILDEN AND HENDRICKS with regard to the old ticket. The conduct of Hendricks in seeking an opportunity to assure Voorhees that he was “out of the race entirely,” looks as if a part of his 1s to keep Voorhees, now 2 sworn triend of MoDonald, tn the aark as t the old ticket scheme, At allevents,when Voorhees said Hendricks was nota factor to be comgidered in the race, he was but repeating what the ex~ governor had said to him. HENDRICKS AND M'DONALD—AN INTERESTING EPI- SODE OF THE CAMPAIGN OF 1880. In the course of the same conversation, in which Senator Voorhees gave-an account of his inter- view with Hendricks, he related an incident of some interest as showing what influence moved Hendricks in 1630 to stubbornly refuse to give way for McDonald in the face of positive assurance that he (Hendrick) could not get the nomination. When Voorhees was talking to his friendg here in Washington recently he was thoroughly impressed. with Hendricks’ sincerity and honesty in saying he was not a candidate, ‘That was before the ex- ‘overnor had so emphatically repudiated Mr. ‘oorhees’ right to speak for him. Possibly the Senator has not now go high an opinion of Hen- aricks’ candor, Voorhees was combatting the idea that Hendricks 1s inimical to McDonald. Ono of the arty, a democratic member of Congress, 1n- stanced Hendricks’ “dog-in-the-manger” conduct in 1880, when he remained tn the fleld, though ad- Yised Chat he could not be nominated, and held McDonald to his pledge to support iim (Hen— Gricks). “Oh, well,” retorted Voorhees, “Hen- ricks has not been understood in that matter. ‘There were influences at work that the public knew nothing of, and when the facts are known, he is not so much to Dlame. I'll explain.” VOORHEES’ EXPLANATION OF HENDRICKS’ UNREA- BONING OBSTINACY in refusing to make way for McDonald when as sured that ne could not be nominated, but the lat- ter might, at Cincinnati, in 1880, runs thus: Sen- ator Morgan anda number of other prominent democra‘s from the south and west held a confer- ence tn Cincinnati during the convention, inthe in- terest of McDonald. It was agreed, without a dis— senting volce, that McDonald’s prospects for the nomination Were first-class, provided Hendricks could be got out of the way. ‘It was absolutely es- sential to procure Hendricks’ withdrawal, because McDonald had positively prohibited the use of his name so long as the man to whom he had pledged his support remained in the fleid. The Morgan conference sent Ingalls, the raflroad man, post haste to Hendricks with the positive assurance that there was no chance of his nomination, and urging him to withdraw. by telegraph and “thus ve McDonald aclear field. The cvening of the lay on which Ingalls started on his nto Hendricks a meeting of Hendricks men was held. in Cincinnati. Bill English, as the late demo- cratic candidate for Vice President 1s commonly called in Indiana, presided. The meeting was manifestly deficient tn that spirit and enthusiasm ‘Which mark the canvass of a popular aud strong candidate. The conviction that Hendricks was already beaten had forced itself upon the minds of his intelligent supporters. Nevertheless, the Indlantans (for the meeting was composed almost entirely of them) decided to stand by their ex- governor as long as he saw ft toremzin a candi te. XNGLISH SECRETLY NURSED THE HOPE that he might be made the standard-bearer of his party. His name had been mentioned as that of a democrat who could carry Indiana, and he was covertly scheming to turn everything to his own advantage. He had learned of the Morgan con- ference and the errand of Ingalls. that Hendricks’ withdrawal, in pursuance of the orpen conference, would send McDonald to the Tront as Indiana’s candidate and utterly demolish all possibility of creating un English boom. His lan, therefore, was to defeat the movement in half of McDonald. To accomplish this he sent Hendricks a dispatch about in these words: “I ve nounced his pig-headedn‘ 1880.

A Star mingled freely among the strikers to-day, and the determination to “stick” was manifested on every hand. The prevailing sentiment was that firm- ness on their part would win in the end. One of the strikers said: “We can get allthe money we need to maintain the boys.

Manager Whitney, of the Western Union office, sald: “Weare getting along swimmingly.
