action of the Senate, nor question its de-
termination. can not believe that any
thing more is required to secure worthy
incumbents in public office than care
full and independent discharge of the re-
spective duties within their defined
limits.
"Though the propriety of suspensions
might be better assured if the action OF
the President was subject to review by the
Senate, yet if the Constitution and the
laws have placed this responsibility upon
the Executive branch of the Government,
it should not be divided, nor the discre--
ton which it involved relinquished.
"It has been claimed that the present
Executive, having pledged himself not to
remove officials except for cause, the fact
of their suspension implies such miscon-
duct on the part of suspended officer as
injuries his character, and, therefore, the
Senate should review the cause for his
vindication. l have said that certain Of.
ficials should not, in my opinion, be re-
moved during the continuance of the
term for which they were appoint
ed solely for the purpose,
of putting in their place those in
power, and this declaration was imme-
diately followed by a description of off,
cial partsanship which ought not to-
entitle those in whom it was exhibited
to consideration 1t is not apparent how
an adherence to the course thus an
nounced carries with it the conse--
quences described. If in any degree
the suggestion is worthy of con-.
sideration, it is to be hoped
that there be a defense against unjust
suspensions in the justice of the Execu-
tive Every pledge which I have made
by which have placed limitation upon
my exercise of executive power, has been
faithfully redeemed. OF course the pre-
| tense is not put forth that no mistakes
have been committed, but not suspen-
! sion has been made except it appeared to
my satisfaction that the public welfare
would be improved thereby.
""The pledges have made were made
! to the people, and to them l am respon--
! sibe for the manner in which they have
| BEEN redeemed. | am not responsible to.
the Senate, and am unwilling to submit
my actions and official conduct to them
for judgment.
"There are no grounds for the allega-
tions that fear of being found false to
my professions, influences me in declin-
ing to submit to the demands Of the Sem.
ate. Neither the discomfort of party
friends nor the allurements constantly of
fered of combinations of appointees con-.
ditioned upon the avowal thSt suspen-
sions have been made on party grounds
alone, nor the threat proposed
in the resolutions now before the Senate
that no combinations will be made unless
the demands of that body be complied
with, are sufficient to discourage or deter
me in going on in the way am convinced
leads to better government for the peo-
ple."
