migration by the enactment of such just, humane
ana reasonable laws and treaties will produce that
result.
2. That the purity and patriotism which charac-
ter1zed the earlier career of Rutherford B. Hayes in
peace and war, and which guided the thoughts of
our Immediate predecessors to him for a Presiden-
tal candidate have continued to inspire him in his
career as Chief Executive and that history will
cord to his administration the henors which are due
to an Efficient just and courteous discharge of the
public business, and will honor his vetoes inter-
posed between the people and attempted partisan
laws.
g. We charge upon the Democratic party the habit
ual sacrifice of patriotism and justice to supreme
and Unsuitable lust for Office and patronage: that
to obtain possession of the National Government and
the control of place, they have INSTRUCTED all efforts
to promote the purity and to conserve the freedom
of the suffrage and have devised fraudulent ballots
and invented fraudulent certification of returns
have labored to unseat ully-eected members of
| Congress to secure at all hazards the vote
| of a majority of States in the House of
Representatives; have endeavored to occupy
| by force and fraud the places of trust given to
others by the people of Maine, rescued by the
courage and action of Names patriotic sons have
| by methods vicious in principle and tyrannical in
practice attached partisan legislation to appropria-
ton bills upon whose passage the very movement of
the Government depended; have crushed the rights
of the indivdual have advocated the principles and
sought the favor of the Rebellion against the nation
and have endeavored to oblterate the sacred men,
cries and to overcome its inestimably valuable re-
suits of nationality, personal freedom and indivd-
| ual equality.
The equal, and steady, and complete enforcement
OF the laws, and the protection of all citizens in
the enjoyment of all privileges and immunity guar
anteed by the constitution, the first duties of the
nation.
The dangers of solid South can only be
averted by faithful performance of every promise
which the nation has made to the citizen. The exc
cutlon OF the laws and the punishment of all those
who violate them, are the only safe methods by which
an enduring peace can be secured and genuine
prosperity established throughout the South. What
ever promises the nation makes the nation per-
! form. A nation cannot with safety reiegate this
duty to the States The " solid South" must be di-
Nded by the peaceful agencies of the ballot and all
honest opinions must there find free expression. To
this end the honest voter must be protected against
terrorism, violence or fraud
And we affirm it to be the duty and the purpose of
the Republican party to use all legitimate means to
restore all the States of this Union to the most per-
I feet harmony which NAV be possible, and we submit
| to the practical, sensible people of these United
States to say whether would not be dangerous to
the dearest interests OF our country at this time to
surrender the administration of the National Govern
ment to party which seeks to overthrow the existing
policy under which we are so prosperous, and thus
bring distrust and confusion where there is now
order, confidence and hope.
Mr.. Barker, of Massachusetts, offered the fol-
lowing amendment to the resolutions, which.
after some discussion, was put to a vote and de-
clared adopted

Office adopts the declaration of President Hayes that
the reform of the svil cervice should be thorough
radical and complete. To this end it demands the
cooperation of the Legislative with the Executive
departments of the Government, and that Congress
shall so egislate that fitness, ascertained by proper
practical tests, shall admit to the public service
