transportation for the country
and reduced taxation for the people
of This state, we declare in favor of
asking the national government TO
assist in the improvemrn of the
locks and the deepening of the chan

control.
IA. That the improvement in the
system of taxation, commenced by
the recent republican legislature, un.
der which large sums have been col
lected from sources which previously
escaped taxation, should be perfected
and extended SO that the burden NAV
fall ON all classes of property.
10. That we condemn the hipocricy
of the democratic party in plcdging
Itself before election to civil service
reform and after election denouncing
through its press and its leaders the
civil service act as unconstitutional
while the national administration re-
moves tried and faithful public SER

whose recommendation is active, and |
IN some instances, disreputable poll |

publican officers are removed on the |

the control of an avowedly |
partisan journal. We believe that II |
is the duty of the republican major
ity of the senate to oppose the con-
trim .tion of any person appointed in |
violation of the letter and spirit OF
the civil service act. We dcnouncc |
the national administration for its |
obvious willingness to abandon the |
opinions they have protested on
currency, and the compromise with
those leaders of their party who
are avowedly in favor of the con-
tiuued debasement OF currency; for
lis hostility to the commerce of the
country, evidenced by its refusal to
carry out the system adopted by con-
gress for the encouragement of
American shipping, by its arbitrary
action IN repudiating contract reg
ularly entered into by duly author
lied agents of the government aud
persevering in the attempt to deprive
American mechanics of their means
of livelihood until aroused public
opinion compelled it to abandon the
attempt, and tor its hostility

forcemrnt of customs laws by Illegal
provisions and tricks intended TO
deprive merchants of any fair oppor-
tunity for asserting their rights. We

census resulting in an extra session
of the legislature at large and use
