civil service needs REFORM that the military authority
be subordinate to the civil; that single Presidential
term enough; that local selfgovernnent 10 the OASIS
OF free government and that forciDe interference Win
s right OF states nsurps it, that social civil and poiti-
cal tests discriminating race and color are faa 10 equal
and exact justice to all men, that the original ana the
amendments Of the Federal Constitution are obligatory
in their text spirit, and in their judicial exposition sud-
ect neither to Executive caprccs to the exgencies
OF personal government; that free press
is the buwark OF freemon; that municpai

in public expenditures observed that the minimum OF
taxation be secured pecuators punished, and the cor

pursued and subjected to condgn punishment and while
this contamination has been publicly prayed for by the
Liberals, they by stint the generous measure
Of praise DUE irrespective Of political considerations, to
the Hon. Samuel j. Tlden the leader Of those crusades
and they by all propose to sustain his hands and
the hands OF everybody besides whom they shall have
reason to believe will fight or whom they find fighting
for pure and ncOrrup governments In the interest OF
the people, and they caution the electors to choose Tor
legislative offices none but those who can be depended ON
to sustain all measures Of reform.
Reolred That the Liberal Republicans Of the State OF
New York In Convention assembled intending to main
tain the principles they have repeated and hitherto
uniformly proposed congratulate the country upon the
general favor which they have attained, and believing
that entirely yet they substantially recognized
by both the Democratic and Republican parties OF the
State do not think il necessary useful to nominate
State ticket they do therefore recommend 10 the Liberal
and independent voters Of the State to support those
candidates already in nomination whose character and
experience they most approve and who In their iudg
will earnestly and efficiently cooperate with Gov
Tilden In his work of administrative reform
Resolrcd, That look with alarm upon tho large and
increasing Indebtedness Of the States and cities OF our
Republic and the consequent increase Of taxes the
suit Of lavish, unwse, and otentimes dishonest sp-
Precipitation and expenditure Of moneys and that we call
upon all who may be elected TO Offices of trust and
sponsibty in all possible ways to close the noodgstes
which have been opened wide chasm and. by wise
and economy and rerenchment relieve the
burdened taxpayer Of every city, county, village, and
town Of the State Of NewYork.
