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islation should he repealed, and that the dan-gers-lo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
