WARNING TO OFFICE-HoLDEas.
The President Issues an Order Against
Their Interference in Politics.

President Cleveland is firm in his determine
ton to enforce the law which prohibits Govern
ment officials from interfering in politics, as the
following order will show:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, July IA, 1886.
To tie Heads Of Departments an the Service Of the
General Government:
deem this proper time to especially warn all
subordinates in the several departments and all
office holders under the general government
against the use of their official positions in at
tempts to control political movements in their To-
caities. Oficeholders the agents of the peo-
pie, not their masters. Not only is their time and
labor due to the government, but they shoald
scrupulously avoid, in their political action,
we'll as in the discharge of their official duty, Of
Tending by display of obtrusive partisanship,
their mel shbors who have relations with them as
public officials. They should also constantly re
member that their party friends from whom they
have received preferment have not invested them
with the power of arbitrarily managing their po-
litical affairs. They have right Office hold
to dictate the political action of their party
sociateS, or to throttle freedom of action within
party lines by methods and practices which per-
vert every useful and justifable purpose of party
organization. The influence of federal Office hold
ers should not be felt in the manipulation Of po-
litical primary meetings and nominating conven-
tions. The use of these officials of their positions
to compass their selection delegates to political
conventions is indecent and unfair, and proper re-
gard for the prophecies and requirements of Off
cial life will also prevent their assuming the
tive conduct of political campaigns. Individual
interest and activity in political affairs are by no
means condemned. Ofiiceholders are neither dis
franchised forbidden the exercise of political
privileges but their privileges are not enlarged,
is their duty to party increased to pernicious
activity by office holding. just discrimination
in this regard between the things which citizen
may properly do and the purposes for which
public office should not be used, is easy, in the
light of a correct appreciation of the relation be-
tween the people and those entrusted with official
place, and consideration of the necessity under
our form of government of political action free
from official coercion. You are requested to COM
muncate the substance of these views to those for
whose guidance they are intended.
(Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND.
