Bartrwore, Sept. 17.—Democratic conven- President. The thanks not only of the repub- | tions are being held this afternoon m the sec= lican party but of the entire country are due to him and the members of his Cabinet for the purity. efficiency and businesslike conduct of national affairs which have characterized every branch of the public service. In the Department of State, the energy, dignity and commanding ability which have marked all the transactions of the present administration receive conspicuous illustration in the treatment of the Bebring sea difficulty, wherein the claims of the United States have been placed on lofty grounds of international | right and duty, in happy contrast with the marrow and technica! contentions with which they have been met. In the Treasury Department the large increase in the internai revenue receipts under pre- cisely the same laws as,were in force during the preceding administration, the diminished cost of ‘ollection, the rapid extinction of the in- terest-bearing public debt on favoranie terms ssary or ex- travagant expenditures of the surplus strik- ingly evince the benefits the country has de- rived from the practicn! sagacity and incor- ruptible integrity of a republican administra- ‘and the reduction without unne: tion. And in the mail service, the customs admin- istrative service, the Department of the In- terior and everywhere throughout the civil servico of the gencral government an im- proved spirit of enterprise and devotion to unmixed with politics, has followed ction of the methods and maxims of public duty, the introdi e business, at once vindieating civil service re- form principles and attesting the sincere devo- tion of the administration to them.

THEY STAND BY SPEAKER REED. We congratulate Spenker Reea on the dis- tinguished ability, patience and imperturable good nature with which he has so cfticiently led in areform in the proceedings of the House whereby a venerable but absurd fiction has been forever displaced and the responsible majority allowed to resume the power of legislation so plainly conferred by the terms amd necessary implica- tions of the Constitution, and we congratulate him and the entire country on the magnificent popular indorsement he has received in his own district and state,» It is a fitting response to the measureless abuse and calumny with which the democratic minority and their allies of the press have sought to overwhelm him and « significant proof that the intelligent masses, without strict regard to party predi- lections, still Fares eee and admire the quali- tes of unde! cot , aggressive energy and practical common sense in statemanship. THE CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS. At the opening of Chairman Greenhaige's address he scored the ‘independent element in politics” and said, “More in sorrow than in anger” I note their inconsistencies, They are eloquent in denouncing Dudley and Quay, but how much more eloquent 1s their silence as to Hill and Gorman and Higgins and Brice and Croker and Mayor Grant, Not even the an- gelic graces of “Flossie” can evoke a song of praise from their icy lips, They bewail the im- purity of the re party and straightway fling themseives sobbing upon the immaculate bosom of Tammany.
