RYMARKs on GOVERNOR sALoMoM
There calls Tor Rufus Choate, but that gentle
had disappeared from sight aud Governor Salo
mon was introduced He made bret address, IN the
course Of when he remarked that the mission OF tho
republican party yet fulfilled One Of the acts
must still perform was TO give The country apurc and
efficient civil service. President Hayes had already
lnaugurated this but II would require all the energy
and skill OF the American people TO wiring that reform
permanently from the grasp OF tho egotsticai poll
ticlans-democratic and republican-who had thus far
always stood Us way. The President had kept his
promises made TO the country before his election and
the reason tho Convention had not Endorsed him
was that there in II men who
willing the promise should be gwen, but did not wish
~ 10 be fulfilled. During the next three years the
great question to be settled would not be the pachca
tiou Of the South-ior that the speaker considered
already settedor any of the other questions particu
ary referred TO by the opponents OF Pres dent Hayes
the great issue would be the civ service reform.
