stands Hayes has personally declared
for civil service reform, for return to
specie payment the earliest possible day,
and for the rule Of one term only for the
Presidency, the latter principle beng
found only in the Liberal Republican
platform. The characters of the nomi
nees guarantee the principles they pro.
fess. If the Liberals in 1872 sustained
Horace Greeley, who was the foremost
Republican OF his day, because he was
an unseltish patriot and an honest man,
they must now sustain Gov. Hayes for
the same reason, and to do otherwise
would he inconsistent action. The OPP
position of the Liberals has never been
against the Republican party, Of which
they formed part, but rather against
those who unfortunately for 1t and the
nation had control of its destiny to its
discredt. The good results gained 10y
the Inauguration of the Liberal move
mcnt OF 1872, is matter Of congratula-
tion. 1t was then that the demand tor
reform against existing abuses was first
made by those who had before acted
within the Republican lines. Subsc.
Qucnt events have more than confirmed
the warnings Of Liberals then given, and
have indicated that by their efforts, then
made for national reform and firmly
maintaining them for the past four years,
they have seen independent voters of all
parties adopt their views and at the
eleventh hour they have seen the Repub-
lican party in convention act in entire
harmony with the demands of the Lib
erals, and disregarding machine politi-
clans, so called, place in nomination men
whose great distinction is that they are
thoroughly honest as well as capable.
The conscience of the nation, which,
rising above party, reyolted against the
reform organization Of 1872, must now
endorse this action. The liberal move
ment will be remembered as an evidence
that when the hour demands it, its peo-
pie are capable OF making party mana
GERS subseryiert to their will. Their
protest in defiance of party discipline as
originally made at Cincinnati in 1872, is
proof that citizens remain faithful to an
honest discharge Of their political duties,
though party leaders become corrupt
1t only remains for me TO declare, by
virtue Of the authority given me as
above, that, the Liberal Republicans Of
the United States, through their national
committee, approve the nominees OF the
Republican party, wherefore call for a
Liberal convention, to be held at Phila-
delphia on the Goth day Of July 1875, is
annulled.
