business was the bossiing of the democratic
parry that it had brought the government
back TO the practices of its fathers and that it
had reproduced the hslycon DAYS of
Jacksonisn principle and Jeffersouian honesty,
and the crowning infsmy of this whole bus.
ness lay iu the dishoporabe methods em-
ployed to secure the removal of honest en-
ployes. If the democrat party would say to
the republican, 81 want this office because
YOU are republican and | want il for dem
ocrst because he is domocrst," that would
be honorable and manly. But the party had
said ''we cannot do that for we are
committed TO the doctrine that removals shall
not be made for partisan reasons. We must
seem to keep our promises if we blacken the
name of every republican in the land, and so
that party permitted to pay and invited
charges TO be made against the faithful and
upright public servants, on which they could
be removed. and when these gentlemen or
their friends asked to be advised OF the nature
OF the charges, the reform administration re-
piled: this is q sealed volume, and YOU can
not be permitted to open it, This democrat
ic reform administration would have to
answer for its Justification Of citizens at the
bar of public opinion, where it would receive
swift and meriled condemnation Applause
