There Is no denying the fact that the spirit
of reform Is In the aIr. There Is a demand
for the rerg.lizaton or time civil service
of large clUes : that the merit system should
control In the selection and rentcnton of
men In time administrative ofccs of our ' city.
This demand Is recognized In the platforms
of both parties In this campaign. But the
kind of reform which the pcople ) want Is
not one upon Iaper They want It genuine.
They do nol care so much for an examination
Into thc fness of an applicant for a position
which shall determine whelher he has dote
all the I's and crossed all the t's on his ex-
Imlnaton paper as for one whIch shall determine -
termlne In a practical manner whether he Is
intelligent and capable ; whether he has had
experience In the line or work sought and
whether he Is honest and faithful.
