when unrestrained, seem To produce
4 conditions which bring about strikes
and disorder, and disturb the business
! affairs of the country,
/ Local SET government, that comes
10 ms, not as fhe gift OF the national
government, bur as the legitimate out
come Of the reserve powers oi the
states and of the people, Is the very
cornerstone of our political structure,
aud the best assurance OF liberty rcsu'
lated by law. II can only be main
tanned by strict observance OF the Inn
itatiOns of the Federal constitution.
The Democratic party has always re-
sisted, and will continue to resist, the
Entertainments by is enemies upon the
fundamental right Of the people OF
he several states. All power comes
from the people and should be surrcn-
dCrcd only in the interests of the pc0'
pie, and whenever this power Is used
for selfish intrcsts, il Is not only an
abuse, but usurpation.
Arbitration.
Tho declaration in the st. Louis
platform in favor Of arbitration is one
tina. appeals to my sense of fairness
Nations and states have employed TO
advantage this method of settling dis.
putcd questions, states have invoked
II. aid with coed results. and indlvld-
uals frequently have resort to it in
adjusting questions of difference. The
Hague tribunal. representing the scnti-
mcnt of Cancellation, is the highest
practical expression of Intelligent
thought on this subject. The principles
OF arbitration are the same. whether
governing in the great court of ma
tions or applied in the affairs OF indus
trial life Its permanent establish
mcnt as part of the industrial Sys-
tom of the country, upon basis or
mutual consent of all parties to con
troversy, would insure more friendly
relations between employer and ON
ploycd. for the interest of the wo king
man and the employer Is identical. 1t
affords a safe and equitable method or
determining differences that may
arise, and has been callld "a reason
able and natural mode of settling such
disputes. Tho spirit of arbitration is
kindred to the iovC of law and order
II is the arbitcr of peace instead Of
war. and makes for happiness instead
of sorrow.
Race Iscu.e
All loves of thor country must
dcprccatc. the rehabilitation by the
a.; - ~ nF IlG1nnf1
race issue. ut a time when every effort
should DO made to promote rather nan
rCtard IT," progress which was De'ilG
made in the statoS where slavery had
existed toward the kindlier relations
between Tho two races. while the
revival of This issue. with all IT'S AT
tcndan' OWLS. must of necessity ictard
the dCYe'o3ment of the southern ateS,
whose people are struggling maniully
With conditions left by the war and
seriously intorfcrCS with the Industrial
progress Of both races.
Fraud in the Public Service.
Population and fraud in the public
service under the present adminlstra-
ton, especially in the postofhcc ana
ltnd departments, reached Such pro
portions that knowledge of the evils
practiced became public property.
Prosecutions naturally followed, but a
thorough and impartial investigation
bv congress. proposed and urged by
the Democratic minority, was refused
by the Republicans, at the mandate. it
Is believed of the administration.
Cong ess adjourned earlier than at
any session for many years, for the
purpose, it Is believed, Of preventing
further agitation of the question, and
an effort to Curta'l expenses.
Civil Service.
Offices are created and filled in pur
srlancc of law to carry on the COVE n
mcnt. and not to further party amhi-
tons and the selfish purpose OF any
citizen. Many of the hundred thou
