The Resolutions.

The republicans of Maine hold that the
United States is one Nation. and not league
of States and that the National Government
is charged with the duty of securing the equal
rights guaranteed BY the Constitution, and
promoting the welfare of the people.
We believe that it is the duty of the Nation

distinction of race or color. the right to cast
a free ballot, and to have that ballot counted.
Resolved, That from the establishment OF
our National Government to the present
time, the Judgment of our best statesmen and
the experience of the country, have favored
an American policy, which collects the na'
tional revenues mainly on Foreign lmporta'
tions, imposed in a manner to give protec'
ton to American skill and labor. to build up
our manufactures. to augment the volume OF
our combined Internal and Foreign COM
merce. TO expand our network of railroads,
thus increasing the value of our agriculture
and all the lie legitimate interests of American
labor and capital.
Resolved, That the great number OF official
agents necessary to the administration of the
affairs of people so numerous and possess
ing interests so varied and vast as those OF
the United States, demand that our Civil
Service should be controlled by strictly busi-
ness principles, that il should have every I'M
provement indicated BY experience and
patriotism, and if any further legislation Is
required to render il safe from the encroach-
ments and dangers of partisan strife, Con-
gress should promptly provide such legisls-
ton, and the President and his constitutional
advisers should enforce it in spirit and letter
Resolved, That our relations with foreign
powers should be managed with sasacity,
firmness, and prudence, so as most certainly

Prof Gregory of the Civil Service Com
mission, has written long letter upon the
subject of political assessments, the chief
points Of which are contained in the fol-
lowing extracts: The grand intent Of those
sections Of the Civil Service act which re-
late to contributions for political purposes
was two-foid. First-FO prevent the use of
Government places and Government funds
and forces to control elections. Second-tO
protect Government employees from COM
pulsOry contributions TO political funds
The Government clerk is employed to work
for the people and not for the party, and his
PeAy WINS A4NALA tic klCD PIC anu AOs rom
his party What he earns is, therefore
his own, and is the grOssest tyranny 10 ex-
tort from him any part of his earnings by
threats of removal or by promise of promo
ton. The clerk, outside of his clerkship
is still a citizen, and as a citizen has q com
mon interest, as do all good citizens. in the
progress and welfare of his country He
has the common right to vote and express
mis- opinions, to form associations with
those Oflike opinions, and to use his money
IN all lawful ways to propagate his ODin-
ions. AS an officer or emplOye of the Gov
eminent, he IS strictly under authority of
Congress in all his official work and rela-
lions, and he musJnot viOlateany one of the
four prohibitions of the Civil Service act.
But outside of his official life and relations
beyond the realm OF his duties to the Gov
eminent, and beyond his connection with
Governmental people and places, he be-
comes simply q citizen, and has all the
duties, interests and rights Of his fellow
citizens not in public employ. The inter
probation of the civil service law is easy,
and the special duty required by it is plain
to all who honestly regard its two grand
aims First, absolute defense of the ballot
box from all corrupt or cOrrupting official
influence; second, protection Of Govern
ment officials from political assessments
In these two great public demands the law
must and will be fully and fairly enforced.
