pacity any principle that would modest or
disturb the fundamental principles that
constitute this government. This nation
Is a sacred gift to us, and her great hui
man philanthropy has awakened the world
and with open arms and a heart OF lame1-
tation we have given succor to many mil
lions, and we took from them their poverty
and wretrhedness and gave them the bless
ings of peace and happiness. American
Republicanism and American Democracy
must 20 hand In hand. The European
principles of Repubicanism. Nor the Euro
pean principles of Democracy cannot ANAL
gamate together in this nation With cur
own Inventive policies They are DIS
tihct and separate and cannot be united
If you unite them then you are helping
to establish imperialism and despotism in
your own government.
But IL we amalghmate all of our gov
ernmental principles together in order to
secure reform and destroy corruption In
the different branches of government and
in the body polite, we are duty bound
to accomplish a remedy. Because we
then apply the greater lever Of the COM
monwealths to this end This would then
circumvolate the Republican and Demo-
cratic principles of government But when
under the partisan influence OF any one
creed in the administration of govern
ment in perpetuity you are struggling to
establish dictatorial Throne for your
children. In the elimination of dishonesty
and traitorous conduct In public affairs
the commonwealth must become united
In one power In order TO relinquish dishon-
est representation.
This method is common to the natural
law that created our institution, and its
principle cannot be changed unless you in
tend to overthrow this whole fabric. Gov
ernments are not changed with full
Non-partisanship must by its nature in
vite all of the noble principles of political
parties together.
And If we allow prejudice and narrow
minded principles to govern us, we will
fail to accomplish our duty: and the in
fringements on our citizenship cannot be
relinquished without turmoil and danger
Hence the New Jersey Lobby viii -ha have E,
tends to reform only for the purpose OF
political selishness, and such seems to
be the open and unequivocal conclusion
Of Mr.. Colby. The State Senator must be
aware of the fact that no State reforma-
ton cen be successful unless 1t Is done
through an independent power. Democ-
rdcy must do her share and yet preserve
her principles. The Independent action Of
the combined commonwealth must exer-
else discretion over the corrupt and
vicious conduct of the New Jersey public
officials, then some of them might be
tarred and feathered and driven out of
this State. to gamble In the stocks of the
public welfare of some other State. Hop
ing that the intent Of your organization Is
not selfishness but Instead one that will
battle for the honor and the true princi-
Piles Of morality and virtue in all public

Republican and Democratic State and
lend hand to better protect our common
rights which Is embodied in our national
Constitution. Yours most respectfully.
