ed removals from office rs follows:
In answer to the question pro-
pounded by Hon. A. Marques on
the I'd inst, have to say that the
Ministers are unaware of the fact
stated by Rep. Marques, "that the
National Reform Party have persist
entity demanded the removal from
office of q certain few individuals
notorious for their incompetence or
their offensive and active partizan-
ship in politics." and they cannot
and do not believe that the National
Reform Party or any political orga-
ni2ation has become so demoralized
over the pursuit of Office rs the
statements of Rep, Marques would
lead them to infer.
In reply to the question as to
"what the Cabinet proposed to do
in the matter, are any changes to he
made, and if so, whcn?" the reply
Is that such changes rs are found
10 be necessary or expedient will be
made with due regard to the elfl-
cheney of the public service and ct
such time as the Cabinet may deem
appropriate, The Cabinet further
desire to state that they are exceed
ingly surprised at the tone and. tenor
of the questions asked and would
inform the honorable gentleman that
they consider their "word of honor"
to be above the inuendoes and slurs
sought TO be cast upon it in the
fourth paragraph of the questions,
and also to inform the honorable
gentleman of fact which he seems
to have overlooked that the Cabinet
when they took Office swore to faith
fully discharge and perform the du-
ries pertaining TO their several Of
fees, and they consider that they
would be violating their oaths in re-
cognizing and carrying into effect
the spoils system.
