C., Sept. 29, 1887. Dear Sim: Ihave come to the conclusion that I cannot accept the Invitation of the Illinols Demo- cratic Association courteously tendered to me by you as a committee of that body without violat- ing omfcial obligation, ‘ne Commission holds that entrance to and con- {inuance in that part of the executive civil service known as the classified civil service should be up- on the merit of the applicant or employe without regard to bis political opinionsor afiiiiations. This position 1s Justified by many considerations, all of which lead irresistibly to the conclusion that the elvil service act of 1883 was enacted for the pur- of providing a non-partisan service. It fol- lows, therefore, that this law should be executed ina ‘strietly non-partisan manner, and from this Proposition logically follows the conclusion that no officer charged with itsexecution can be effect ive in the discharge of that duty if by active par- telpation in party politics he destroys the contl- dence of the public in his fairness and impartiality. A Clvil-Service Cormisstoner or civil-service ex- aminer, asa member of a political committee, or as a member, patron, or encourager of a political association Gomposed of persons in the public service, all members of one political party, organ- ized for the purpose of putting certain political pardisans into and of excluding certain other po- tical partisans from office, would certainly be out of place, and the public would be justified in the conclusion that, in the discharge of his ofticlal duties, he might bear unfairly against political opponents and lean partially toward party friends. AN OFFICE-HOLDER NEED NOT SURRENDER HIS INTER- EST IN POLITICS. ‘The Commission has expressed the opinion that republican in the public service has the right to entertain strong political views, and to give, at the proper time, strong expressions tothose views, In this connection the Commission has sald: “The ‘opinion 1s not to be tolerated that because a man occupies a place in the classified civil service he must therefore surrender his right to take an in- terest in the politics of the country. No good cit 4zen Will do so; and no degree of activity in effort to advance the interest of the party opposed to the Administration should, provided his partisan ac- Uvity in no Way interferes with his public duties, Tender insecure in the service of the Government the position of any person who does not occupy a. place, the discharge of the duties of which affects public service.” BUT EMPLOYERS OP THE PUBLIC SERVICE CANNOT ACT IN THE PARTISAN ASSOCIATIONS. ‘This position may be perverted into an ap- Pearance of inconsistency with the position that the Illinols Democratic Association may not with propriety be patronized or encouraged; it may be held that there can be no legal or other good ob- Jection that can be urged against the policy of democrats in the public service organizing, as you have done, for the purpose of being active in effort to prométe the interest of the Administra- Uon. In other words, it may be sald that there 18 an unwillingness on tay part to give to the demo- cratic oMiceh-older the same partisan privileges that are accorded, as, of right, to the republican olticeholder. A candid consideration of the Illinois, Democratic Association in the light shed upon it by several secUuns of the elvil-service act will, how- ever, show you that my objection to such associa Hong, to partisan assoclations of eae sed upon a Strong foundation, which no sophistry can destroy or even Weaken, THE LAW IN THE CASE. Section 11 of the civil-service act provides that no execultve officer, and no clerk or employe of any department, branch or bureau of the execu- tive service shall, directly or indirectly, solicit or recelve, or be in day manner concerned ‘In solicit ing or receiving, any subscription or contribution for any political purpose whatever, from any ofl- cer, clerk or employe of any department, branch or ‘bureau thereof, or from any person recelvi any Salary or compensation from moneys derive from the Treasury of the United States. Section 14 of, the same act provides that _no officer, clerk or other person in the service of the United States shall, directly or indirectly, give or hand over to any other oficer, clerk or person in the service of the United States, any money or other valuable Uning on account of or to be applied to the promo- Uon of any political object whatever. And section 15 of the act provides that any person guilty of any Of these offenses shall, on conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not éxceeding $5,000, or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or by such fine and imprisonment both, in the discretion of the court. WHAT CONSTITUTES A VIOLATION: OF THE LAW. ‘Now, does it not follow that officers, clerks and other persons in the service of the United States who are organized for political purposes, and who by initiation fees, dues and contributions defray the expenses of this organization are violating sections 11 and 14 of the civil-service act? They are giving—they are handing over—to officers, clerks or other persons in the service of the United ‘States, and these persons acting as officers of the association, as the representatives of the asso- clated officers, clerks and other persons in the service of the United States, are receiving money for political put monéy to be applied to the promotion or political objects, THE ACT AFPLAUDED BY DEMOCRATS UNDER A RE- PUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION. It should not be forgotten that the provisions of the civil-service act to which I have referred, and other similar provisions of that act, were passed while the republican party was in power, and when, by perverting instrumentallties, the repub- licans were using the public service tor partisan urposes; when the repubilcan purty was filling he civil Service with men and women, not because they would be efficient public servant, but for the reason that they or their friends had been active in advancing the political fortune of some member of that party; when, having thus appointed men and women for partisan reasons only, the repub- lican party then robbed them by assessments and by solicitations accompanied by open or hinted threats or dismissal—when, for tne purpose of making its frequent attempts at this kind of rob- very effective, 1t organized the republican State associations and used them in taking from the purses Of its victims money that was needed in the support and education of families dependent upon the persons who were compelled to heed the partisan demand to “stand and deliver.” It should not be forgotten by democrats that the penal sec- tions of the civil-service act were almed at this system Of robbery by assessment and solicitation, and atall the instrumentalities by which that system was made effective. Democrats applauded the enactment of those provision®, and congratu- ero 'y that they lated themselves upon ‘would destroy the malign Influences of the repub- can State associations located at Washington, punglyete the democratic party a fair chance in a fafr fight for the Presidency. And the demo- crats were not mistaken, ‘THE PENAL CLAUSES of the civil-service act did not break the power of ‘the partisan collector who robbed the clerksof the Departments by using the republican State asso- clations as his Weapons of assault and as his Dur- glar tools. Over this result democrats everywhere Tejoiced, and in 1884, a8 a consequence of the en- actment of the civil-service act, they had a fair fight with thelr opponents and Won a famous vic- tory. And, now, may I not be excused for saying hat demeerats should ot, imitate the wons ractices of the worst republicans Dy 01 The oficers, clerks, and other employes oF the De, partments ‘at Washington into State associations, the purposes of which are and all the money collected or expended by which is money collected and expended, given and handed ‘over, received and applied, ‘as the law expresses, for partisan purposes and for the promotion ot political objects, all of which ces the civil service denouncés a unlawful, as punishable by fine and imprisonment, when ‘the parties to the ractices are persons in the service of the United tates? I believe the democrats should ice in power what they preached while out of power, Phe ee ‘set by oy ave ‘the administration of the aftaire of the republic, I beg to assure you that I am, with much re- spect, your obedient servant, ‘The matter was discussed by members of the association, who took issue with Commissioner ‘Oberly’s view of the law.

District Attorney Worthington Fine fishes His Address and the Court Re= serves its Decision. ‘The so-called boycotting case of the seven mem- ders of the Washington Musical Assembly— Messrs. Wild, Linden, Pistorio, Caldwell, Cailan, Sloan, and Fisher—and Mr. Fallon, the tailor, who 1s a member of the Knights of Labor, was cone tinued in the Police Court yesterday afternoon after THE Stan's report closed. District Attorney Worthington concluded his argument, He cited a number of cases in Eng- lsnd and in this country to show that neither fraud nor force nor falsehood, as contended by the opposing counsel, was necessary to make the con- spiracy criminal. He quoted Lord Mansfteld’s de- cision In the case of Booth, a tallor who was boy- cotted, to show that 1l was not necessary that unlawful means should be employed to injure a man, but that it could not be lawfully done by any means. He cited the case of the State of New Jersey against Donaldson, in which it was held ‘criminal for some workmen in a shop to ‘strike for the dismissal of two fellow-workmen ‘Who were not popular. The present case, he said, ‘Was not a mere case of demanding that two men shall be refused employment in one particular shop; it was a conspiracy to prevent fourteen men from getting employment in the District of Columbia, or here in the United States; to reduce them to beggary and want and to drive them into submission. The crime, he said, was in the conspiracy. One man may go 6ut ‘on the streets and publicly proclaim another man as a thief and a murderer. ‘That would be only verbal slander and punishable at civil law by a suit for damage. It would not be criminal; but whentwo or more persons conspire together and agree to slandera man and ruin his reputation, even if the conspiracy 1s not carried out, the conspirators are criminals and Mable to puiishmeat by fine and imprisonment under the criuninal law. He found, he said, much to commend in the con- stitution of the Knights of Labor, but he chai ‘Unat these parties ad gone beyond their privi- leges, It was, he said, the common law of Eng- land that any conspiracy to prevent a man from carrying on his trade is a crime, and this is the common law which comes to us from the mother country and is in force here. Under the law it had. Deen held that if a number of persons combined togo to the theater and hiss a certain actor, with aview to injure himin his vocation, it was an offense against the law. They could not unite to hiss at a theater in this District. Could they combine to injure aworkingman at his trade? ‘Was a hiss worse than a boycott? ‘Mr, Worthington, in closing, sald that until the wWarhe had been a workingman himself. The rebels had spolled a good Workman to make a bad lawyer, He had felt the power of these corpora- tons, and before he would support the rulings cited’ by the defense, which gave great corpora.

REPORTED GRANTING OF A STAY OF EXECUTION—THE PRISONER'S BEALTH. In his report to the district attorney on the con- dition of Jacob Sharp, Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton states that when he visited the prisoner Sharp re- fused to allow an examination tobe made, He even pushed the doctor away “with force,” got into bed, and covered himself up with the clothes, He said he would rather go to Sing Sing than sub- mit to an investigation. Dr. Hamilton said that after his rough examination, which included a Partial test of the pulse @nd heart and an estimate Of the surface temperature, he was of the opinion that Mr. Sharp isno worse than he was several months ago, and that he could see no indication that the prisoner was in extremis.

A few minutes after the messenger, with papers, took the train for New Yor! Justice Ruger joined his brother Judges at the Kenmore. At that hotel the chief justice declined to talk about the case, ‘When questioned, he said 1t would be tndecorous for him to say anything.

The negroes were at Orst_ amazed, and then the amazement turned to pleasure When they found that their votes were wanted by the whites. Colored men of prominence were appeaied to to take their stand hot “by,” but “as members of the Detter classes.” In other words, the idea Was carefully spread forth that “the Lord hath made Ue people one.” ‘The Liquor men, on the other hand, relied on the want of luterest among the natives, ‘the “cupldity of the Yankee settlers” and the well-known love of the negro for liquor to defeat proulbition, They introduced the Texas letter of Jefferson Davis Influence the ex-Confederates, Dut Unis Was offset by aletter written by Mr. Davis to a friend in Hauillton County, in which he declared that while ‘opposed to State prohibition, he believed in the ight of every community acting for itself to re move nuisances and to promote local order, ‘AS the elections passed off, one by one, The Mquor men Were treated to a series of surprives.
