In a republic like ours, wh-re the citizens is the sovereign and the otIii;i-l the servant, where no powvr is exercised except by the wiil of the peopie. it is important that the sover eign people should possess intelligence. The free school is the promoter of that intelligence wh ich is to preserve us a free nation.

SI KVK'K KKKOUM. The men who ah onioned the republican par ty in Issl and continue to adhere to the demo ctatic party ha e deserted not only the cause ol honest government, hut of sound finance, of fri-.dom and purity of the ballot, but espec ially have deserted the cau-eof reform in the civil service. We will not tall to keep our pledges because tf.ey have broken theirs, or he- aiisi; their candidate lias broken l.:s. We therefore repca- our declaration of 181, towit : The reform of civil service auspiciously begun under lepiihlieau administration should he completed bv a further extension of th" reform s.sleii: already established by law to all grades oi the service to which it is applied. Ttie spir it ami purpose of reform should be observed in all executive appoint incuts, and all laws at varience with f lie object of existing reform leg islation should he repealed, and that the dan-gers-lo free instil tit ions which lurk in the pow er of, otf cial patronage lin y be wisely and ef fect ivelv avoided. 'I he gratitude of the nation to the defenders of tlie union cannot be assured except bv laws. The legislation of congress should conform to the pledges made by a loyal p op'.e. and be so enlarged and extended as to prov'de against tlie possibility that any man who honorably wore t he federal niiifo'in shall become au In mate of an almshouse or dependent on private charity. In sue presence ot an overflowing treasury il would b a public scandal to do less tor those whose valorous service preserved the government. We denounce the hostile spirit show n by President Cleveland in his numerous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the action of the democratic house of representa tives in refusing even consideration of general pension legislation. In support vf I he principles Percw ith enun ciated, we invite t hct co-operation of patriotic men of all parties, f specially of all working men whose prosperity is seriously threatened by the free ttaile policy of the present admin istration. The first co-cei n of 11 good government is the virtue and sobriety of the people a-uid the purity of their homes. The republican party cordinllv svmpat hizes witli all wise and well directed efforts for the promotion of temper ance. I5UKINKSS 1)1 HKCTOKY. ATTORNEY. S. F. THOMAS.
