two things: First, respond to the demands which the people make
upon the Democratic party now in its condition of probation; and,
second, disarm that great body of officials who as disciplined armies
go forth to control the Presidential elections.
I believe, and I am only excused from making this remark because
of what I have heard publicly and in private conversation upon the
floor of the Senate—I believe if we argue this question upon the lower
plane of mere partisan advantage we Democrats ought to support the
measure. It has been said that this abandonment of the spoils system
will retain in office the appointees of the Republican party. I conceal
nothing; I state it in my place in Senate, and before my fellow-
Senators who are of the other persuasion, I do not think it. There is
no proposition to extend the term of office where it is now fixed, nor
in any wise limit the constitutional power of removal from office. The
proposition is simply and only that where a new appointment shall
be made the element of fitness shall be decisive. Can any Democrat
object to that?
How many Democrats are there in office now? How many will
there ever be under the spoils system? The Republicans have
possession of the Government for two years and more. How many
Democrats will be put in office during that time, except on the merit
system? Not one. But if this system be fairly inaugurated and
administered within one year there will be fifty where now there is
one.
It has been said that the abandonment of the spoils system will
exclude Democrats from office when the day of our victory shall
come. I do not think it. On the contrary, I believe that the adoption of
this policy as our party creed will hasten the day of the victory of our
party and its adoption as a law will under any administration fill
many offices with Democrats. I think it will bring to our aid very
many men not hitherto of our political faith who believe this reform a
vital question in our politics. I think it will disarm and disorganize
and neutralize the trained bands of office-holders who have wrested
from us, as I have said, at least two Presidential elections. And
finally, repudiating utterly, as I do, that the animating spirit of the
Democratic party is the love of spoils, and that its cohesive principle
is that of public plunder—repudiating, I say, that doctrine, I think the
Democrats throughout this land—I know that in my own State they
can—will stand the test of any examination, and in a fair field will not
come out second best.
Who shall do them the discredit, who shall do this party, now
numbering at least half the people of this country, the discredit to say
that they can not stand the test of merit for official position and
promotion with any equal number of men in any party of the
country.
I have detained the Senate much too long, and yet I must add that
the very best aid to any system of reforming the service is in the most
rigid application of the democratic theory of the Federal Constitution
and Government; that its powers are all granted; that the subjects on
which it can act are very limited; that it should refrain from enlarging
its jurisdiction, or even exercising admitted but unnecessary powers;
that it should scrupulously avoid “undue administration.” Add to this
the election by the people to local Federal offices, and there will be
little necessity and little room for other methods.
Dear Sir: Will you please advise the Committee on Finance whether or not there

If there are any such papers or charges will you please communicate their nature

Respectfully, yours,
