misouri 8 river and in california ile he then said when I 1 took charge of that office with clerks I 1 found the bus iness for years patents that to have gone to people livin living upon the lands were four years bebin behin behind date dacci I 1 said at once this will not do a man who has purchased land of the government has a right at an ear car early date to his patent latent so that he may se sell seft it so that he may obtain his rights whatever they may be I 1 said at once there must bereford be reform in this office my bly ambition was connected with reform I 1 could not well afford to take that appointment and go gl out of that office without having brought the work up to date so I 1 did commence t the be work of reform seriously and very earnestly and ver very soon I 1 became acquainted with all the I 1 jj clerks in the office very soon I 1 if knewt the be clerks that would be able to help me with the work that had to be carried through and very soon those that limped or were unwilling or indifferent did step down and out ap CAP the hickory broom of V jackson that represented democratic reform vies was the sentiment and emble emblem M odthe of the reform that I 1 sought to bring about and instead of the men mentho who haa bad to step out there came in young and earnest fellows that were willing to do the work so that when I 1 required that j the work done dond at each desk should be C 25 per cent cont more mora than it had been before these men came in and took their share hare readily and cheerfully andhor and cordially and when I 1 left that office nearly four years afterward it was only four months behind la the delivery of patents tomen to men that had bouget land applause f from rom four years it came down to f four our months and that was as close as it tr was practicable to bring the work that I 1 thought was reform I 1 want to tell you another thing gentlemen when you men that give your votes at elections election sand and pay your money to the want to understand the r particular point at which civil service bervice can be brought about I 1 will tell you V it is not with the pres pros president dent in detail it is not with the

brinl bring about certain and prompt reform I 1 think we are aro ming wing through all right it was a good glod while that the democrats kept ept opt out al a quarter of a century the sentiment JK ol 01 the country had bad been enforced with w icrael cruel proscription such as I 1 never advocated toward the opposite party I 1 know there are honest and I 1 would not today to day it if I 1 could do
