We arraign the present democratic adminis

of the flshetics iiii sti..u, and its pusillanimous
siin-enilerof a'.l iirivHgH to which tnir fishery
vessels are entl; led iu Canadian ports umler

and which Canadian II si: ing vessels receive iu

the nolicv of the present administration and
the democratic majority hi congress towards
our fisheries as unfriend! v and conspicioiisly
unpatriotic and as tending to destroy a valuable
national industry and an inuispei.sii.ie resource
of defense against foreign enemy.
The name of American applies alike to nil

CIVIL 8KKVICK KKFOKM.
The men w ho abandoned the republican par
ty in 1k4 and continue to adhere to the demo
cratic party have deserted not only the cause
of holiest government, but of sound finance, of
freedom and purity of the ballot, but espec
ially have deserted the cause of refor.n in tho
civil service. Wo will not tall to keep oiu
pledges because thev have broken Ulcus, or
because their candidate has broken Ms. We
therefore repeaT our declaration of Ism, towit :
I'Iim reform of vivil service uuHplc-lously begun
tmder republican administration should be
completed by a further extension of Hi- reform
njsti'in already established by law to all grades
of the service lo which it is applied. The spir
it and purpose of reform should be observed in
all executive appointments, and all laws at
variencewith the object t.f existing reform leg
islation should be repealed, and that the dan
gers to free institutions which lurk in the pow
er ef oftcial patronaie may be w isely and ef
fectively avoided.
The gratitude of the nation to the defenders
of the union cannot be atniurnd except bv laws.
The legislation of congress should conform to
the pledges made bw a loyal people, aud be so
enlarged and extended as to prov'de against
the possibility that any man who honorably
were the federal uniform shall become an In
mate of an almshouse or dependent on private
charitv. In the presence of an overflowing
treasury it would 'D a public' scandal to do less
for those whose valorous service preserved the
government. We denounce the hostile spirit
shown by President Cleveland in his numerous
vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the
action of the democratic house ef representa
tives in refusim: even consideration of tjeneral
pension legislation.
Iu support of the principles herewith enun
ciated, we invite the co-operation of patriotic
men of all parties, especially of all working
men whose prosperity is seriously threatened
by the free trade policy of the present admin
istration. The first corceru of 11 rood government is
the virtue and sobriety of the people hnd the
purity oi their homes. The republican party
cordially sympathizes willi all wise and well
directed efforts for the promotion of temper
