him is favorable to the wishes OF the
people, that the incoming administra-
ton may prove a restoration OF the
early virtues of the Government. He
is loved by every one who mas ever
known him; and although regarded by
many as a man of those negative qua
tive qualities which do not invite an
taronis1ns. there il enough OF that gen
tIe. ouiet firrnness about him to assure
those who study him that he hoid a
great force in reserve which will be
found equal TO any emergency. And
this he has demonstrated on several
occasions. since his present investi-
ture. most notable of which v"s tlie
unostentatious manner III which he
ended the miners war. His orders
were few and simple, but they were
equally finn and effective, and those
who read them knew there was TO be
no Sinking of responsibilities, or any
wavering in the execution of the orders.
We predict that Governor Hayes will
be elected triumphantly, that his ad
ministration will be marked with hon
or, probity and integrity, that he will
possess the love and veneration of the
people he governs, and will retire from
the position without having marred
the feeling of pleasure and pride with
which the people will regard his eleva-
ton.

THE PLATFORM

The platform adopted by the Repub
lican National Convention, at Cincin-
natl, is document that will compare
favorably with any declaration of prin
ciples promulgated by previous con-
ventions. 1t reaffirms the tried and
time honored principles of the Repub
lican party, and meets in manly and
fearless independence, all the new is
sues of the day. 1t was adopted with
little discussion, but considerable en-
thusiasIn. This important document
is given in full on the first page of this
paper, and We merely refer to its most
important points. 1t points out the
duty of the government to afford full
protection and security to all its citi-
zens, to aim at steady progress to-
wards return to specie payments, and
recommends a constitutional amend
ment against appropriations for schools
under sectarian control. This is new
issue in national politics, and it was
met boldly. This plank elected hearty
applause, and second reading was
called for, when it was received amid
tumultuous cheers.
The plank asking an enquiry into
the moral and political influence of
Chinese Immigration encountered some
opposition. 1t will be readily upder-
stood that it grows out of the troubles
on the Pacific slope, where the China
men are more numerous than in any
other section of the country. Their
influence there is reported to be per-
nicious TO morals, injurious to the in
terests of the laboring classes, and cor
rupting politically. This view is enter
tanned by the intelligent people of
California.
On this platform the Leader remarks:
"Our candidates can go before the
people with the assurance that their
principles are responsive to the real in
terests of the nation, in harmony with
every element of enlightenment and
progress. 1t is dignified, elevated and
progressive Nonational need is over
looked, no issue evaded. No dema-
gogical clap trap is INDUCED in and no
appeals are made to excite violent
partizan spirit. 1t is one of the most
unobiectionable documents OF the kind
ever framed in a convention, worthy of
the Centennial year, and destined to
receive the hearty endorsement of the
Republican party of the nation"

PRESIDENT GRANTS MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS-, ON APPROPRIATION.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.--The follow
ing is the message sent by the President
to Congress to-day:
7ohe Senate and House Of Representatives,:
The near approach of the new fiscal
year and the failure of Congress up to
thiS TIME TO provide the necessary
,r"'-.- to continue all the functions of
.JyernInent, makes it my duty to call
your attention to the embarrassments
that must ensue if the fiscal year is al
lowed to close without remedial action
on your part. The President quotes the
provisions of the laws and constitution,
saying their effect is to prohibit any
outlay of public money toward defray-
ing even the current and necessary ex-
pendIture of the Government after the
expiration of the year for which ap
propriated, excepting where these ex-
penses are provided for by some perma
nent appropriation, and excepting in
the War and Navy Department. The
The number of permanent appropria-
tions are very limited aud cover but
few of the necessary expenditures of
the Government. They are nearly all
if not quite all, combined in sections
8. 6S7, 8, 6SS and 8, ESQ of the revised
statutes, while section 3, 679 provides
that no department shall, in any one
fiscal year, involve the Government in
any contract for future payment of
money. in excess of the appropriation
for that year. Section 8, 732 confers by
clear implication upon the heads of the
War and Navy Departments full author
ity, even in the absence of any appro-
priation, to purchase or contract for
clothing, subsistence. forage, fuel, or
water, or transportation, not exceeding
the necessities of the current year.
The latter provision is special and ex-
eeptional in It's character, and is to be
regarded as excluded from the opera
tions of the former more general one;
but if any of the appropriation bills
enumerated should fail to be matured
before the expiration of the current
fiscal year, the government would be
greatly embarrassed for want of neces-
sary funds to carry on the seTvice.-

appropriated, the departments would

priarion for it should have failed to he
