FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The conduct OF foreign affairs by the
present administration has been distin-
guished by its ineffi2iency and its
cowardice. Having Withdrawn from the
Senate ell penang treaties enacted by
the Republican administration for the
removal Of foreign burdens and restric-
tons upon cur commerce end for its eX
tension into better markets, 1t has
neither effected nor proposed
any others in their stesd, profess

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
The men WAC abandoned the r publ
can party IN 1884 AID continued To adhei {
to the Democratic party have
eserted not only the c!use OF honest
government and sound tdapCe, Of the
freedom and security OF the bsllOt, but
especially have deserted the cause Of
reform in civil service. We will not fail
10 keep our pledges because they hav"
broken theirs, or because their Candidate
has broken his. We, therefore, repeat
our declaration Of 1884, town: "Tne
reform OF civil service Guspi
ciously begun under the Repu5li-
csu administration should be com
pleted by further extension Of
the reform system as already established
By law 10 ali grades of the service TO
which It is applicable. The spirit and
purpose of reform shOuld De observed in
Sll executive appointments, and all laws
ct variance with the object of existing
ref0rm " the civil service should be re-
pcsled, to the end that the dangers &c
Tree institutions which lurB il the power
Of ofli5isl patronage may De wisely and
effectively avoided"
PENSION LEGISLATION.
The gratitude q the EG.iOn &c the
defenders Of the nation cannot be meas-
ured py lava. The legislation OF Con
g1css should conform to the pledges
made By loyal people, ani &c so enlarged
sud extended as to provide egains. the
po5s.b billy inst any man Who hOnCrs5iY
were the federal UNIFORM snail became
al inmate Of the simsA0use or depend
ent upon priv1te charity. In the presence
OF an Overlooking treasury it would be
public scandal to dc less fer those whose
vAlorous aerv. ce preserved the goverEme I.
We dLDourCe the hostile spirit shown by
President Cleveland II his numerous We
toes Of measures for pension relief, Hud
Lhe action Of the Democratic House Of
r representatives. III refusing even consid-
Grafton u general pension legislation.
AMEN.
Ia support Of the principles herewith
enumerated we invite the cooperation of
the patriotic men of al parties, especially
IF gil WORKING men whose prCperty is SO
seriously threatened by the free trade
policy Of the pfesen: administration.
