of foreign burdens and restrictions upon our

any others ln their stead, professing adher

Idle complacency the extension of foreign in

Hedges because tb y have broken theirs, or

l herefore repea" our tleelarat ion of 1ss4, tow it :
The reform of civil service auspiciously Ix-uti
uio'er -eiiiblic-.in a.liiiini.slratio i should be
completed bv a further extension of th- reform
sstem already established by law to all grades
of the service "to which it is applied. The spir
it s-.nd purpose of reform should he observed in
all executive appointment, and all law at
varlenee v. ii it the object of exist ii'ij reform leg
islation should be repealed, and 1 fiat the dan
gers lo free nistitutioi-s which lurk in the pow
er of nFcial patronage in: y be w isely and ef
fectively avoided.
T he gi-atitibte of the nati-'il to the defenders
ot the union canimt be assured except bv laws.
The legislation of congress should conform to
the pledges made bv a loval p -ople, and he so
enlarged and extended a to provide against
the posriihdiiy t.r.t any map. "ho l:onorally
wore the federal uiiifo'iii shall Iwcoilie un in
mate of an almshouse or dependent on private
charltv. In the presence f an overflowing
treasury it would b a public scardal to do less
for those whose valorous service preserved Ihe
government. We denounce the hostile spirit
shown by President I.'levetand in his numerous
vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the
a. iioii of tliw democratic house of representa

pension legislation. ' " ' '"
In support of (he principles herewith enun
