Z. That the purity and patriotism which char
acterized the earlier career Of rutherford II.
Hayes in peace and war, and which guided the
thoughts Of our immediate predecessors 20
him FOR Presidential candidate, have contin-
uod 20 inspire him In his career Us Chief Exec
utivo; and that history will accord 10 his Adj
minlstration the honors which are due to an
efficient, just and courteous discharge OF the
public business, and will honor his Vetoes In
terposcd between the people and attempted
partisan laws.
8. We charge upon the Democratic party
the habitual sacrifice OF patriotism and Jus
tico to a supreme and Unsuitable lust for Of
hce aud patronage; that to obtain possession
ni the National and state governments ana
the control OF place AMI position they haVn
obstruct6d all efforts to promote the purity
and to conserve the freedom OF suffrage, and
have devised fraudulent ballots, and invented
fraudulent CcrtihcatiOn of returns; have Ia
bored to unscat l0wfully-elccted members OF
Congress to secure at all hazards the vo'e OF n

promise which fhe Nation has made to the
citizen. The execution of the laws and the
punishment of all those who violate them, are
the only safe methods 10y which an enduring
peace can bo sccnrod and genuine prosperity
established throughout the South. Whatever
promises the Nation makes the Nation must
perform. A Nation cannot with safety rele-
gate this duty 10 the States. The "Solid
South" must be divided by the peaceful agcn-
cies of the ballot and all honest opinions must
there find free expression. To this end the
honest voter must be protected against ter
rorism, violence or fraud.
II. Aud we affirm il to he the duty and tho
purpose of the Republican party t. use all
Legitimate means to restore all the states of
this Union to the most perfect harmony which
may be possible, and we submit 70 the
practical, sensible people Cf these United
States to say whether it would not be danger
Gus to the dearest interests of our country nt
this time to surrender the administration of
the National Government to n party which
seeks to overthrow Inc existing policy und 'r
which we arc so prosperous, and thus bring
order, confidence and hope.
II. The Republican party, adhering TO the
principles affirmed by its last National Con-
vention of respect for the constitutional rules
governing appointments to Office, adopts the
declaration of President Hayes that the re-
form of the Civil Service 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 lcgi9latc that lit
ness, ascertained by proper practical tests,
Shall admit to the public service.
