HIS Delivered In the United States Senjhte, on Mareh 3 1st A Strong " Argament Against the Civil Ser- . vice System. In bia fanti-ctvil service speech. Senator Vauce eaid: Mr. President at the close of the great civil - warn when the rjartr- then in power de sired to reconstruct a nortion of this government , on C principles which would secure its domination.' it so happened that a constitutional Presi dent stooa m the war; it was nec essary to divest him of , his preroga tive before that party couia accom plish its unconstitutional object, and a regular attack upon his rightful powers was begun by the passage of the tenure-of -office law. Hat soon after Mr. Johnson's term of office had expired his successor being one who was in sy mpathy with the party then in power -the necessity for that law was no longer felt; that is to say, the offices could be secured without it. The law. therefore, was modified. But the remnant of it was left on the statute book as a reminder of the in quity, to be brought; upagain when necessary. 'The necessity however, did not ariflrt until after the Dresi dential election of 1884. when a Dem ocrat was chosen to fill that office. But being wise in ' their generation and fearing that for the want of con trol of both houses! of Congress it might not be able to resurrect that law, the Republican party: fell upon the plan of perpetuating the official existence of its Iriends by the enact ment of a law "to regulate and lm prove the civil service of the couns try.'V It was a continuation of the old assault upon the: rights of the Executive; and ali i of the present troubles between the Executive and the Senate are due and chargeable to that enactment. : And I propose to address mysell to that law, a bill for the repeal of which I heretofore had the honor of introducing. But before addressing myself to either the un constitutionality or the impolicy of that enactment, 1, wish to say that one of mv chief objections to it and to ail otner laws wmcn rescnci, or ufpjfty which had been guilty of the trench upon; the, established; rights I eruption which rendered such an and Dreroeatives of any department of the government is the tendency to defeat the will of the people as ex pressed at popular elections, and to that extent to impair and destroy the vigor and efficiency of political par ties in this country, i i -; S i . - Mr. President, in the broadest and most comprehensive ; sense of the term I avow ; myself a party man: not from natural pugnacity of tem per, not because of prejudice against those whomay diner witn me, nor yet because 1 believe there are no evils inseparably connected with par ty organizations, but because I do be lieve most earnestly-that parties are indispensable to the ' existence of lib erty, and that a "government by par. tv is the only way m wmcn tnere can De government oy . ne peopie. Another serious objection to the law is that it creates unusual offenses and attaches unusual penalties for their commission. It also takes away the President's power, and duty to execute the laws, and confers them unconstitutionally upon the board of commissioners. "They are given su pervision and control over everybody, including the President in all mat ters pertaining to the enforcement of this law. It is the duty of this board of commissioners to see that all per sons subject to this law abstain abso lutely from ail! political service, and especially that they do not lie upon each other ; that no Senator, Repre sentative or other officer of the gov ernment shall recommend anybody for office or violate the' provisions of this act in any way, but that all shall dwell together in millennial peace and harmony, , and forever remain virtuous and happy! Why it . omit ted to enact the whole civil service of the country into a national Sunday- school a grand consolidated Ameri can Ebenezer with these commis sioners as teachers - and exnorters, subject to the visitation of Mugwump presnyiers, ?is Bometmng tuuu truly good and pious political - saints must ever regret. If ajiymalicious. evil'dis posed - persons ' whomsoever. not having-tne iear or iodperore, their , eyes,; but being- moved and seduced by the ; instigation: of : the devil, should in any way hinder, de. ceive or impede an applicant for ini-, tiation into .the privileged tribe of Levi, or tell a lie upon him in regard to his character or qualifications, or even give any special or secret infor mation about him, though never so true, they shall yet. be gudty of a misdemeanor, .: and. on. conviction shall be punished by a fine not to ex ceed $1,000, or by imprisonment not to exceed one year, or by both fine and imprisonment. ; So much ' for even , attempting to help a good man - to get in 'ofiice or furnishing information to keep a bad one out. So much for even attempt ing to handle these official eggs while under the motherly incubation of these national hens,-the civil service commissioners. ' -' This civil service law is the second attempt to recur to the Hainiltonian principle, and is most cunningly be gun at the bottom, where it would attract the least attention and indig nation ' Well did the late President Garfield say the doctrine of Alexans der Hamilton is waxing and that of Thomas Jefferson is waning. Had hv hATmilv lived . until today and seen 1 the- operation of this law and hoan a witness to the position which the Senate of the United States is nnw occuDvinir. he would be aston ished at the rapid verification of his utterance. ' : -i;:- ' " : 1 - - . .-. if the chief magistrate can hold his nfFSne for four iv ears only, why should a clerk hold his office for life! If the President aftei four years of d diligent and patriotic service must E to .the judgment of his fellow-citizens, why should his subordinates be granted exemption from like submis sion and be endowed with official immortality? It works well, they say; the longer the clerk serves the more competent.he is to serve well; Is not the same true of a President? Is not the same true of a Senator, a Representative, and all Other officers? , the System wor! nor officer, will it not work equally well w? tne tnajor? And if that be true will w not soon begin to extend it? 'indeed, it was announced in the discussion of the bill that it was ten tative. and it was" intended to be ex tended, as experience, justified, to the whole -civil service oi me govern' ment. In fact, has hot the President of the United States pledged himself with certain reservations, in, ooeai ence to a supposed public opinion to extend the spirit of the law. beyond its lee-al effect to all itbe higher ap oointments which pertain to him? If that be so, is not that the waxing of the principles of Alexander Hamil ton and the waning of those of Thoa Jeffereon. The humbuggery of this whole ex amination business as artest of fitness for clerical position is well illustrat ed by a flaming advertisement which I hold in my hand, and which reads as follows " "A collection of examinations and answers, selected by a competent and experienced professor, so as to enable any person, after their intelligent re view to undergo a thoroughly success ful civil service examination. Every person desiring to be employed by the government should have it. Send ten cents for a copy." -- The only sensible way to obtain good employees anywhere and in any business is to select them your self and try them. If they should prove good" keep them; if they should prove bad discharge them. Another objection to the establish ment by this law of a privileged, ir responsible class of officials may be summed up in the language of Shakespeare- "the insolence -of of ffice." No better illustration of the almost divine genius of that great man can be found than in the acutes ness displayed by him in making Hamlet, when recounting the evils and grievances which rendered his life insupportable, mention the "in solence of office" as one of. the chief.: Who that has ever visited th's capi tal city and has had any business in the various departments of the gov ernment has not been made aware in the bitterness of his soul of the- full extent and measure I of the poet s meaning! . . .:. s ,.',: The debate which ioccurred on the passage of the civil service bill was the occasion for the exhibition of con siderable : histrionic talent': arising from the necessity of playing at the same time' difficult and very different roles The Democratic Senators charge corruption on, the party in power as a necessity for its passage, boldly and loudly : but fought ; very shy of the BUggestiod of their fellow Democrats that they were preparing to continue in power oy tnis bin the rruption which renoereo such an act necessary. Jj. 4 The Republicans adapted the plea which the lawyers term "confession and avoidance," ad mitting the corruption Charged 'sub modo,"' but went away back to the days of Andrew Jackson in search of a 'tu quoque," and manifested much anxiety by the passage of that bill to correct the morals and evil-doings of the dead, scouting the idea that they sought to obtain any advantage for the living. Both were wrong and wide pi -tne marK. -The corruption of which the couns try complained and has complained for some twenty years was not among the class of officials who were covered by that hill. - No outcry had ever: been raised : against the poor clerks, copyists and messengers of the departments. The stench which for; years had assaueo tne nostrus or the nation had in every instance been created by those who had been nomi nated to their offices by the President and appointed by and with the ad vice and consent oi tne senate, xne thousand minnows which swam through the water, howover : they may have disported themselves, had never bee able to cause a ripple bn its surface; it was the whales and -the Bharks which lashed: the waters into fury ' and tore the nets of the law into shreds, i - The operations of the Black Friday conspirators, Cred" it Mobilier thieves, whisky rings, f rdsmen's savings banks robbers. Sanborn contracts, star : route con tracts and such other like projects of villainy were the things that alarmed the honest sentiment of the country and called for reform. ; K ; To answer this call as Republican Senators pretended to' do- by such a bill as this was a preposterous and contemptible subterfuge. L was a regular case of giving Smith medi cine for Brown's ailments, x To pun ish a corrupt secretary or auditor thev administered discipline to a euiitless clerk, 'k Even had that been eood medical practice, it was an ab surdity to pretend to punish the clerk bv providing mat ne snouia noia oi- flce for life, instead of discharging him.' It was a spectacle too in an other seDse- worthy of the. attention of the . country in that it' presented the leaders of the great party stand ing up and confessing that their own evil practices and corruptions dev inand this reform. The sincerity of this repentance, however, will be ap parent when it is considered that the confessions were not made in good faith but in "articulo mortis." Having held and abused power for twenty. three vears they saw bl unerring in stincts that the day of retribution was at hand: that the people were determined upon reform ; i not by such poor devices as were provided bv that act but a change in the ens tire Control and personnel of the gov ernment. They therefore "cast an anchor to the windward " and this law was the result. And it is falsely entitled.-" It is not an act to improve and regulate the civil service of the countrv t to all intents and purposes it was the last will and testament of the Republican party ; and my chief reeret is that a Democratic President was compelled to become its executor instead or its administrator "ae poms non," - Let us. examine a moment the falsity of its pretenses., Irthe cors ruption of the government which called for legislation lay with the clerks and minor officials, the remedy which would naturally suggest itself to every- man -- of common sense would have been simply to. turn them out.: - This law provides that they shall not be turned out but kept in. . If the corruption." of the govern ment lay with the higher officials, how could the punishment of the lxiiuw uiuuianj rerorm mat corrup tioni -a. fortiori," how could their promotion rerorm it?

The behavior of the Republican ad vocates of this law about the. time of its passage was not onlv remarkable: it was shameless.' In the face of their allegations that the spoils svs- rem was oorrupu, ana tnat Dy it we could not possibly get good and conv. petent officials, they not only de feated by a solid vote ; in the Senate the amendment of Mr. Push, as I Jiave stated, requinnc their friends already in to submit to examination. I a. art . . dui tney maae haste to fill every Eossible vacancy with their partisans efore the law took effect. It is an open secret that Raturdav. the 14th ot j uiy, some ot the heads of depart ments in . this city spent the entire day and nighty far into Sunday morn ing:, m niline everv vacancvw - nro- moiing ineirHrienas ana Kin, and de grading their political enemies. : The law was to go into effect the; 15th of July. Quite a number of new clerks had been provided for by the appro priation bills for the fiscal year be ginning July 1 and a full buopIv of Is r . . . . " ' - applicants pad "already ! passed the civil service examination, and. stood by waiting for the new law to go into effect But when the offices opened Monday, the 16th, not a vacant place was anywhere to be. found: everv one was occupied by a Republican or kinsman of theu appointing officer. And the men who perpetrated ' this fraud on their own law. with the cheek of a town cow. ! crv 'spoils man l)' at every man who denounces their hypocrisy: and Democrats are found who by their votes here sus tain, these men in the : retention of their ."ill- gotten spoils, and who seem to think that . fraud and hypocrisy constitute the necessarv overture to the grand symphony of reform. The,meanihg of all this is the Re publicans ? desire office from pure patriotism ; the Democrats wish office simply for the emoluments. For a Republican to hold office after the people have told him to leave is com-7 menddble apd purej for a Democrat to wish to get one after the people have declared for him is reprehehsK ble and base. Now, grant that the offies belong to neither party, but to .L L , . i n . . . iae peopie, lor wnoae oenent tney were instituted ; when . the people have once spoken and declared bv a constitutional majority that the Rev publicans must go out and the Demo crats come in, wnich or the two dis plays the most attachment to the spoils, he who desires them with the consent y of the people, or. he; who holds on to them in defiance of the wishes of: the people? If, the owner of a house desires his two guests to depart, which of the two is the gentleman, : he who - retires on the ft st intimation of his host, or he who lingers, claims the house, and waits to be kicked out? . Conceive of an old fashioned, fight ing Democrat, who for forty years has stood by his party through good and evil report, because he believed in its principles ; who battled for it when it had no offices to give; many times when it was buried beneath such vast majorities as left scarce a I prospect of earthly resurrection ; often oppressed by a weight of odium sufficient to cow the bravest spirit, under - the influence of .which the faithful ;became even as the "few names in Sardis, who had not defiled their garments" -when the very name of . Democrat became a convertible, term with that of copperhead, rebel and traitor .-fancy his un conquered and undismayed soul still . work ing ' for his principles, ' still watch ing for the dawn, still waiting with prayerfulness for the hope of his political Israel, thanking liod tor each town, township or county vic tory which showed that his princi ples still lived in the hearts of his countrymen, and were growing because- they were immortal quicker and quicker throbs his heart, nigher and higher rises his joy as strong hold after stronghold is carried, as State after State is captured in spite of unconstitutional laws and govern mental interference; in spite of bay onets glittering aM)he polls, in spite of that gross and unblushing fraud which is the supplement of despair; and, lastly,-imagine if you can- the not tide : or - triumpnant r joy witn which he saw .in November, 1884, the banners of Democracy full high ads vanced i and : successful over all the Union, - and his party once more in control of the great destinies of his country. When the hope of his soul had thus at last been realized, and his old eyes bad been permitted to behold the great salvation, when the bonhres kindled m a thousand cities and hamle(s had burned down, - and the feasting bad ended, and tne ora tory and all the elements of re joicing had subsided. -and the new adminis tration had begun its career amid the prayers and blessings of all Demo -cratic hearts, imagine I say, this old, faithful and honest man of principle coming to Washington, in"-, the sim plicity of his heart, bringing certiD cates from his neighbors of his char acter and s services. : and modestly asking for a position, naturally sup - posing that the king in : matting up his jewels would remember his faith' ful servants. , But imagine that old gentleman's disappointment -when something like- the following occurs between him and the government s representative: . Old Democrat: I have come to make application for some position under tne . government wmcn x am competent to fill. - ' Government Representative: You jare too old ; under the laws of the re- public men over- forty-five years oia are not allowed to take office.
