By the Ohio Man Who Wants the Law Modified Weekly Kditor Denounced as Corrupt Politician and His JLeaffue CollWitfues Foul Political Deina- of Indiana Heads the iDcfemlerst oi" the System. 'Washing-ton. Jan. friends and enemies of the civil service law exchanged broadsides in the house yesterday. The heaviest guris on each were brought into acUon.

Grosvenor and Johnson, of Indiana each made an exhaustive speech and kept iheirrespeetive sides inconstant furore. The interest in the debate was much more lively than on Wednesday. The crowded galleries, which were plainly in sympathy with the opponents of the law. became so very noisy in their demonstrations of approval at one juncture that the chair was compelled to call them to order. Johnson was warmly sustained by the friends of the law on the floor, but he got very little applause from the galleries.

Grosvenor did not define his attitude in detail but gave his adhesion, to the bill agreed on by the opponents of the law. Kepi lex to Carl Grosvenor began by replying to Carl Schurz, who in his address r.o the Civil Service League at Cincinnati had excoriated men like Grosvenor, who Schurz says attacked him for being a traitor tc his party while, said. Schurz. these men were attempting to violate on.e of the most prominent planks in every Republican national platform for years. Hhis brought from Grosvenor a red hot denunciation of Schurz, whose political career he characterized as the "checkered, spotted, leprous! career of one who betrayed every party and every duty to which he was bound, and whose betrayals had been his only stock in trade in the arena of politics." He also declared Schurz politically corrupt ar.d called the men who met with him at Cincinnati "foul political demagogues." Refers to Hie Parly Pledges, Ther.

referring to charges that he was antagonizing the president on thi.3 matter Grcsvenor jumped on the "cuckoo" and kept the house in a roar. Replying to the charge against himself and his colleagues that they were betraying the Republican party hi- reviewed the platform of the Republican party to show that the present position occupied by the majority of the house was not inconsistent with these declarations, "For I give the members of the civil service committee notice," said he. "that we have a majority on this floor and you cannot strangle a majority in the American congress." He argued that when the St. I.ouis platform was adopted the extensions contained in the Cleveland order of May, 1S96, had not been understood. The Republicans coming into power on a platform adopted before theS'5 vast extensions were not in honor bound to agree to them.

Says the People Oppose the Law, One of Grosvenor's statements which evoked an enthusiastic outburst from the galleries was in the nature of a warning that if members refused to listen to the voice of the people in hostility to this law they would not be members of the Fifty-sixth house of representatives. He argued that the people were overwhelmingly opposed to the law. and said that hundreds of thousands of Republicans felt a secret-sympathy with Mayor Van Wyck, of New York, who announced that none but Democrats would be appointed to office under the new city government. Governor Black had said a few days ago that when the "late unlamented" Republican government of New York ca.me into power there were 15,000 Tammany men in office and it expired there were still 15,000 Tammany men on the pay roll.

Men were appointed to office for fitness, yet never was par! ty feeling stronger than then. In Eng- hin-J, where the merit system prevailed, I party spirit was most vigorous. It was absurd, he contended, tc that party spirit must be fed upon the bribe of office. He repudiated the statements of the adversaries of the law that Lincoln and Grant believed in the spoils system. During his review of the records eminent men on this question Johnson "became involved in a controversy with his colleagues, Landis of Indiana, and during the cross-firing the galleries became so obstreperous in thoir approval oi: the position of the latter that the chair was obliged to suspend the debate admonish the spectators that such demonstrations must cease.

In enumerating the evils of the "spoils" system Johnson said it made cowards of legislators, stormed the White House, interfered with the departments: it reached into the Capitol shared legislation; it exalted the oiEce broker and attacked, villified calum mated the conscientious men. Words, he declared, could not do justice to the Infamy of this prolific evil which had debauched the civil service. Ii: seemed Incredible to turn that men could dare advocate a return to this saturnalia. He took up criticisms of tile op-onents- of the one te aat und them, frequently evoRmg applause from ihe friends of the law on the floor-. The talk of a civil pension, he said, was a bugaboo designed to frighten the defenders of the merit system.

Speaking to the Republican side of the hou.se he told his colleagues that the merit system was a Republican child. "WTitle George H. Pendleton was its author In inception it was a Republican measure. Every Republican senator and all, except seven. Republican members of the house voted for it.

It had been indorsed by state and na- tionai conventions. Cities and states were adopting it. The American people behind it. Johnson attributed the present "discordant and disgraceful scene" now being: enacted in Ohio its "visions of sepaturships going glimmering" to the scramble for spoils state and national, arid said that the surest way to put Bryan and his black banner in the White House in 1900 would be for the Republican party to be recreant to its trust and to slap in the face those who believed in an honestly conducted service. Johnson concluded with an eloquent appeal to McKinley to stand by the principle upon the perpetuity of which the permanence of our institutions depended.

Incidentally during his speech Johnson advocated the one-term law for presidents. Johnson was given an snthusisistlc demonstration of approval when he concluded. Coniiul Appointments Confirmed.

Colonel Knapp, of New York, and Hon. W. A.

Anderson, of Wisconsin, Bittinger's predecessors, were honored, and esteemed members of the club. Bittinger's defeat was undoubtedly brought about by an article published in a Chicago paper a week ago last Sunday, which was telegraphed to and published in full by the local newspapers. In the article mentioned, Bit- linger was made to say that the French-Canadian citizens of Quebec were forming secret societies and arranging for an outbreak looking to the independence of Canada.

Columbus, 0., Jan.

call was issued last night by the Republican stale executive committee for a mass convention of Republicans to be held in this city next ilonday afternoon to protest against the attempt to defeat Senator Hanna, The call says in part: "The Republicans of Ohio in county, district and state conventions assembled last spring and summer, promised the people they would return Hon. M. A. Hanna to the senate of the United States. A pledge more sacred was never given.

Upon this issue one of the fiercest political campaigns in the history of our state was fought until you achieved a splendid victory. During- this campaign a few conspirators, pretended Republicans, not giving heed to the lawfully expressed will of a vast majority of their party, sought in every section of the state to defeat the legislative nominees of the Republican party. Overwhelmed and defeated by your ballets they have since consorted with your enemies for the purpose of defeating your will, solemnly expressed at the ballot-box. io Anger, but in "By these acts thc-y have shown that they do not love the great and beneficent principles of our party and that the wishes of the people are not to be regarded by them. All that is dear to them is personal revenge and spoils.

Not in anger, but with -shame, we inform you that some of your representatives in the general assembly have joined in this unholy compact, and is danger that they will disregard your wishes and expressed instructions. We, therefore, call upon you to assemble a.cd consult as to how our state can be saved i'rom this infamy and to petition your representatives by your presence and by your words to faithfully perform the duty which you imposed upon them." Anybody to Brat Mark Hanna. A report was current last night that a telegram had been received by the Democratic leaders from John R. McLean, requesting that his name be kept out of the senatorial matter and urging the Democrats to agree upon a candidate Cor senator to defeat Hanna. While there was no positive confirmation of this story there were developments which led to the belief that it contained some truth.

Wednesday evening The Press, a local Democratic paper, contained an editorial advising the Democratic members to vote for a Democrat for senator. Last night the same paper reversed its position editorially and advised the Democratic members to vote for any Republican tc defeat Hanna. It is also known that influence is being brought to force all the Democrats into line. AFTER THE SCALP OF GROSVEXOR. Proposal for a Kew Deal on Congressmen Out for Uunml.

The Democrats are now demanding-, it is said, a congressional "gerrymander." It is said that Senator Finck, Perry county, whom Representative Grosvenor defeated one year ago, is engaged, in preparing the redistricting measure.

Redkey, representative from Highland county, came out yesterday for Hanna.

He has been claimed repeatedly by the anti-Hanna people. Several anti-Hanna Republicans came here Wednesday from Highland county to labor with Reclkey. He gave them an audience in the- smoking room of the house, and listened patiently until they were through. At the conclusion he told them hf; would support Hanna. Whien asked about the matter last evening Redkey said: "You can state that I am fully determined to vote for Senator Hanna.

and shall do so'next Tuesday. I so announced myself today and will not reconsider the matter, as it has been fully settled in his mind." Representative W. A. Scott, of Fulton county, said he preferred to wait until he saw his constituents before committing himself on the matter and added: "You can state, and positively, that I will not vote for anybody but a straight Republican next Tuesday. Further I do not care to be quoted." LEXOW COMMITTEE FOR CHICAGO.
