alterations viii he harmonious. The Republ-
cans OF Michigan are weakened BIZ no dssen-

OF our partys history, and believe The pg7rci-

We know vel tia; rae legitimate result Of any
boiling movement, :; successful, is 70 oyer:urn
Republican supremacy and restore the Demo-
cratic party % power. We are not deceived by
shallow and LyDocri;ical professions in favor
Of civil &c vice reform and economical admins
tration o. the Gove-pm 3nt. We know that
the boilers movements are made az the very
time when the present Republican Admin,stra-
ton is making the frst sincere and earnest ef-
fort to reform the civil service that has been
attempted since the inception OF the present
system. We know that the cry OF economy is
raised in face Of The fact that Gen. Grants
administration has reduced the National debt
oyer S3Q0.000,000 and taxation has largely
been decreased by each succeeding Congress-
and that every department OF the Government:
is administered with economy and efficiency.
The country : at peace, the Nation is pros
porous the party that saved the Nations life,
that has elfranchised race and has secured
to oil men equal rights, IN the party which, We
believe, should govern the country.
We pledge N,ch:gsns usual majority fo- the
ticket put in nomination by the Philadelphia

next President
