serious obstacles, to reform our civil ser

condition of harmony, fraternity and
prosperity, and while we may as indl,
viduals in some cases differ IN opinion

ing confidence in his sincerity, capacity

slant and active sympathy and support
in all measures conducting to the rapid
furtherance and speedy accomplishment

2. The Electoral Commission having
been created al the urgent solicitation oI
the Democratic party, and after the OF
repeated declarations OF It's leaders II
both Houses OF Congress that no faction
could cavIl at its decisions, we witness
with profound astonishment the assaults
, OF that party on this august tribunal O
its own creation, because its decision.
disappointed their expectations of otiicls
patronage; which assaults, so far rs they
seek to impair the confidence of the peo,
pie in the Just title of President Hayes u
his high office, are equally childish anC
foolish, but may become extremely mis-
chievous in aiding TO lessen the popular
respect tor the decisions OF lawful tri
bunals.

bers of the State and natl 'nal leglsla
ture- To assist in the return o. pro- -perity
TO tue country by adopting such meas
ures rs will c)nduCe to thst end.

Gny grant Of more than 100 acres d
land TO any one person, md aisD oppose

That the long and successful exist
cnce under the law OF Congress Of thc
double coin standard warrants us in de
mending an early repeal OF the legisl Ia
ton which demoncliHed silver and estab

and we therefore favor return 10 the
free use and Unrestricted coinage OF the
dollar OF 1880, and its restoration to the
position it had as n legal tente- during th'
eighty wears OF our ustlOHsl existence
