The citizens OF the Metropolis having
felt neither commercial disturbances
nor political disorders; neither property
nor the effects OF good government can
exist anywhere IN the unloa without
bringing to them immediate evil or good,
therefore be 1t,
Resolved, That we rejoice IN the re-
cent and unQueftlonable evidences that
every clause of the Constitution, as 1t Is
now established is, to-day, accepted
by an overwhelming majority of the clti
zens of the United States.
Resolued, That we recognize and ap-
prove of the frmness and fidelity with
which the President has kept his public
pledges and those OF his party rs TO the
reform OF the civil service. There is 30
precedent in the history of our country
for this voluntary act OF self refor-
mstion by party in power,
and we tender to the President and
his able and patriotic advisers our
heartiest sympathy and support.
Resolved, That the couutry has reason
to congratulate itself on the occurrence
of so many physical and political events
favorable to more wholesome ard bind
ing prosperity than it ever before en- q.
loved. The bcnifcent results of the tidal
wave that is 10 lift US above our present
distresses might be Getested were It not
thst our national administration is so
unsectlonsl, so determined on reform and
so earnest in It's desire 10 unite men OF
all parties in common and patriotic
endeavor to build up true reunion, q
more mai ly style OF politics and q loftier
Americsnism than we ever displayed TO
the world.
Resolved, That we recognize in the
candidates nominated by the late Repub-
llcan Convention men OF integrity and
capacity for the places for which they
are named. They are in no sense re
sponslble for the errors of the Conven-
ton, but are entitled on their fitness and
merits to the hearty support of every
Republican. We endorse them in good
faith and will support their election by
every honorable means in our power.
