deprecates the admission into our great
commonwealth of the pauper and ag-
gres iye element of the old worlds sur
plus population. To admit them in
discriminatory is to place an almost un-
surmountable barrier in the path of
our national progress, and such
legislation should be at once enact
ed as will remedy this great evil.
CIVIL SERVICE
is problem which has occupied the
thought of our most earnest statesmen
for number of years, and toward
the solution of which many valu.
able results have been attained
by the Republican party. With
the avowed object of purifying our civil
service the Republican party has sedu-
louslv endeavored to lay the foundation
of system which shall reach the high
est perfection. The policy is one of great
intricacy, and to its solution the thinking
earnest men of the Republican party
have devoted years Uf study. Under
Republican rule the result has been a
steady and rapid elevation of the civil
service in all its departments, max
ing It at the present time more efficient
and purer in all of its features than
ever before since the establishment Of
our government Defects still exist,
but from what has already been accom-
plished, the country can safely rely upon
the Republican party IS the most eff.
cient instrument for their removal.
POLYGAMY.
When the Republican party came
into power the institutions of slavery
and polygamy formed powerful allies
against which advocates of purity and
freedom were obliged to contend. The
first of these giant evils has been buried
beneath the embers of the civil war, and
over the grave of the fallen monster the
white winged angel of Peace sits hold
ing out to all men the proclamation of
universal brotherhood. But the
other twin relic of barbarism still
remains dark blot upon the fair es-
cutcheon of our national purity. The
Republican party pledges its best eff.
forts for the speedy eradication of the
evil which is SO surely and swiftly un-
dermining all that is pure and sacred.
Mr.. Logan says that while there
should be rigid economy in the admin.
istration of our government affairs
there should be no self-defeatiDg
parsimony in any branch of ouI
service. Official dishonesty should be
promptly and RICHLY dealt with. The
obligations which we owe to the defend
ers of our country shonld ever be in oul
memories, and no legislation should be
enacted which will in the slightest de.
gree imperil the liberal system of pen.
sions provided by the Republican
party. The law establishing a labor
bureau, Gen. Logan heartily endorses
and he believes the eight-hour law
should be rigidly enforced. The public
lands belong 10 the people, and SHOULD
be held in trust for free homes for al
who desire to possess them. And lastly
he touches upon the
INDIAN POLICY,
which he believes should be continued
and improved upon from time to tins
as our experience may suggest.
