PROCLAMATION By TIE PRESIDENT,
July 18th the following executive order
was issued by President Cleveland:
Executive Mansion, W Washington, D. c..
July IA, 1886. 10 the Heads of Depart.
ments in the Service of the General Gov.
ernmsnt: deem this proper time to es"
eral departments and all officeholders un-
der the general government against the
use OF their official positions in attempts to
control political movements in their local
tiles: Ofticeholders are the agents of the
people, not their masters. Not only is
their time and labor due to the govern:
ment' out they should
scruPulously avoid in their
political action as we'll as in the discharge
OF their official duties, offending by a dis
play OF ootrusive craftsmanship the neigh
6oFs who ota havs relations with them as
rsmember tRat ' sSsir ps slsS
friends from whom they have received
preferment have not invested them with
the power OF arbitrarily managing
political affairs. They have no right az
ofticeholders to dictate the political action
- SNoI RoEGy associates or 10 throttle
freedom of action within party lines by
methods aud practices which prevent
every useful and justitiable purpose OF
party organization. Tho Influence OF
federal officeholders should not be felt in
the manipulation of political primary
meetings and nominating conventions
The use by these officials of their positions
to compass their selection as delegates
TO political conventions is indecent and
unfair, and proper regard for the
proprieties and requirements OF
official place will also prevent their
assuming the active conduct of political
campaigns. Individual interest and
| activity in political affairs are nv no
means condemned. Oficeholders are
neither disfranchised nor forbidden the
exercise of political privileges, but their
privileges are not enlarged, nor is thei1
duty to party increa> ed to pernicious
activity by Off .eholding. A just discrim.
nation in this regard between the things a
citizen may properly do, and the pnr1ose
for which a public Office should not bf
used, Is easy in the light Of a correct ap
probation Of the relation between the peo
pie and those entrusted with official place,
and a consideration of the necessity undel
our form of government of political action
free from official coercion. You are re-
quested to communicate the substance 81
these views to those for whose euidanc.
they are intended.
