class OF our citizens, irrespective of sex,

great and glorious country III truth,
what IL has been 50 long in lame The

gard To civil service reform, after wouncn
arc duly installed In office. | am also III
accord with the platform OF the party, in
the desire to protect aud foster Aineri-
can industries, and in my sympathy
with the working men and women ui

would also suggest the adjustment of
the pension Office, with its complicated
and technical machinery, which so
beautifully illustrates how not to do it
uud recommend in its stead three Cum.
~missloucrs, whose only duty should con-
sist in requiring from an applicant for
Invalid pensions his certificate Of honor
Hule discharge; from The widow proof OF
her marriage, and from the mother the
proof oil birth. am opposed to monOp-
~ IN the sense OF the men of tine country
monopoliaing all the votes and all me
Offices, and at the same time insisting
upon having the distribution of all ufthe
money, both public and private. IL is
this sort OF monopoly that has made
possible large breaches OF trust with
Government officials, caused bank sus-
pensions and an epidemic of delalca-
lions over the country. IL has eugen-
derod and iostered strikes.
am opposed to the wholesale mOnO-
poly Of the judiciary of the country by
Tho male voters Of the country. Ii
elected ] shall feel it incumbent on me
10 appoint Il reasonable number of
women rs District Attorneys, MarshaiS
and Judges Of the United States courts,
and would appoint some competent
uma to any vacancy That might Oc-
eur on the United States supreme bench.
| am i'll full sympathy with the temper
ance advocates of the country, especially
the Women'S Christian Temperance
Union, believing that women suffrage
will have Il greater tendency to abolish
the liquor traffic than prohibition Will to
bring about woman suffrage. If the
former is adopted the latter will be IT'S
probable sequence. II elected ! shall
recommend, in my inaugural speech, a
/ uniform system OF laws as far as practi'-
able, for All OF The States, and especially
for marriage, divorce and the limitation
of contracts, and such regulation OF the
laws of distribution of estates a. will
make the wife equal with the huS'
band i'll authority and right, and
an equal partner i'll common business,
I favor an extension of ii commercial
relations with foreign countries, and es-
pecially with the Central and South
American States, and the establishment
Of u high u OF arbitration, to which
shall be referred all differences that may
arise between these several States anu
between them and the United States. Ny
Indian policy would bo-tirst, to have
the Government pay tliom what it owes
them; to break up their tribal relations
distribute to them their lands in sever
atty and make them citizens amonablC
to the laws OF the land, as other white
and colored people are. While we sym
pathize with unhappy Ireland, deprecatt
oppression on the one side and lawless'
ness on the other, our neutral policy as
u Nation does not allow my public eX
preston from our people. Due consid.
Grafton will be given to the interest o
the honest, Industrious, home loving
German. Again thanking You, ladies
for your expression of esteem, | think
that l may safely say fully understand
the whole platform.
