laws Of the country have been faithfully executed,
public faith has been preserved, and the national

has been illustrated by the reduction at the same
Tine, Of the public debt and of taxation; and the
funding of the national debt at lower rate of in
terest has been successfully inaugurated. The

by treaties, and immigration encouraged by liberal

and property in all sections. Equal suffrage has
been engrafted on the National Constitution; the
privileges and immunities of American citizenship
have become 3 part of the organic law, and lib
eral policy has been adopted toward all who en-
gagged in the rebellion. Complications in foreign re
atons have been adjusted in the interest Of peace
throughout the world, while the national honor ha
been maintained. Corruption has been exposed
offenders punished, responsibility enforced, safe
guards established, and now, as heretofore, tn
Republican party stands pledged to correct al
abuses and carry out all reforms necessary to main
tain the purity and efficiency Of the public service
