Show SECRETARY BRISTOW. Sweeping of a New Broom Thorough Reform Promised New York, 10. A Washington dispatch says that some very unjust siatements have been made in regard to the reform which Secretary Bristow has inaugurated since he assumed the Treasury portfolio, and there is a disposition in some quarters to question ques-tion the sincerity ot nls actions. That the Secretary is both earnest and determined de-termined is well known here, and his prompt action in the reorganization ot several divisions of his own office by discharging quite a number of the highest salaried clerks was only rtie forerunner of the policy which he has since faithfully carried out in the various branches of the Treasury Department all over tho country. It is his purpose to continue in this work umil the federal service is purged purg-ed of all treasury oilicials who may be dishonest, incompetent or corrupt, and he expects the cooperation of the President to successfully accomplish the great reform. |
