Anernoon session.


swered the question of Rep. Marques re-
! garding certain projected removals from
office as follows:
In answer to the question propounded
by Hon. A. Marques on the I'd inst, l
have TO say that the Ministers are un-
aware of the fact stated by Rep. Marques,
namely, that the National Reform
party have persistently demanded the re-
moval from office OF q certain few indi-
viduals notorious for their Incompetence
or their offensive and active partizanship
in politics" and they cannot and do not
believe that the National Reform party
or any political organization has become
so demoralized over the pursuit Of Office
as the statements of Rep. Marques would
lead them to infer.
In reply TO the question as to what
the Cabinet propose to do in the matter,
are any changes to be made, and if Sc, u
when?" the reply is that such ehangeA
as are found to be necessary or expedi-
ent will be made with due regard to the
efficiency of the public service and at
such time as the Cabinet may deem APP
propriate. The Cabinet further desire to
state that they are exceedingly surprised
st the tone and tenor of the questions
asked and would inform the honorable
gentleman that they consider their sword
of honor To be above the innuendoes
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 over
looked that the Cabinet when they took
office swore to faithfully discharge and
perform the duties pertaining TO their
several offices, and they consider that
they would be violating their oaths in re-
cognizing and carrying into effect the
spoils system.
