Governor Hayes by his letter of acceptance
which is throughout a model Of frankness an,
true statesmanship gives particular prominence
70 his views on this subject No candid man O
any party can read what he saws In this respec
without being profoundly impressed with hi
courage Of opinion and his perfect freedom fron
the acts and practices Of a demagogue and pac
seeker lie declares In emphatic language tina
the existing system Of appointments and removal
from the civil service, destroys the independents
Of the separate departments Of the government
that it tends 70 extravaganza and official inca
pacty-that II is a temptation to dishonesty tina
il binders aud impairs that careful supervision
and strict accountability by which alone faithful
and efficient public service can be secured-thn
il obstructs the prompt removal and sure punish
men; Of the unworthy-that IL in every way d,
grades the service and character of the govern
ment, that 1t ought TO be abolished, and that III
reform should be thorough radical and complett
He promises that II elected. he will conduct tn
administration OF the government in accordanc
with these views, and that all constitutions
powers rested in the Executive will be emplove
N establish this reform As guaranty OF IN
complete fulfllment of this pledge he voluntanl
announces his naexible purpose not to be a cal
didate for a second term to the Presidency. tina
he may at the outset free himself from all possibl
temptation 10 use the patronage OF his office f.
the advancement Of his own reelection This
not the language Of a trimmer, or Of an artft
politician, bnt of an earnest believer 10 the sacred
ness of the principles which he announces az we
as Of one who means TO perform what he promise,
This is no new departure with Goyernnr Haze.
