4th. The present administration of the
National Government has vlndiCNted Its
right to the continued confidence oi the
people, and Its success has been illustrated
In the impartial execution OF the laws; In
It's iaithtulness, honesty and economy In
the collection Of the public revenues, and
In the expenses Of the government, so that
while taxation has been reduced TO tue
extent Of one hundred millions OF dollars
per year, the national debt has been
| liuuidated to the amount Of over two
hundred and thirty millions Of dollars, q
reduction unparalleled in Its history
The administration has been equally sue
cessiul In the management Of our foreign
relations, and has achieved an I'M.
perishabie honor in the settlement o
our differences with Great Britain
upon terms credltablc TO both countries
as embodied in the treaty of Washington
The head of an administration thus dis
tinguished by success and craftsmanship
Is Justly entitled TO be regarded as n wise
and careful civil magistrate, and his uni
form Difference to public sentiment show
him to be one whom the country may
trust, having fully redeemed the pledge HI
made before entering upon the duties o
Chief Magistrate, that he would have ne
policy of his own 10 enforce against tht
will Of the people.
9th. We repeat our condemnation o
the policy Of granting subsidies Of public
lands TO corporations and mOnop0lles, ant
having originated the policy Of grantln!
homesteads to actual settlers, we declart
that the public domain should be KEEP
for Our laboring population.
9th. We are In favor OF tile adoption o
n thorough system Of civil service reform
and we indorse heartily the action o
President Grant In selecting the commits
siOners under the recent socalled civi
service act.
7lh. We unite with our rellow.cilizen
in every portion Of the Union in the hop
that the Gnmilies and tesentments OF III
war may be speedily ended, and that III
day may soon come when in every Stat
every person may be safe In life, persOr
property and civil rights, and may hav
the equal projection Of the laws, so tina
no men who were loyal 10 the Union dui
ing the great struggle may for that roaso
he the victims Of prosecution, outrag
and assassination and so that some CT
couragement may be offered for the re
moval Of all proper cases Of political dis
abilities imposyd for participation In tn
rebellion,
9Th. We recommend the calling OF
