Albany, July HI, 1876.
(JeutUtnsn: When I had the honor
to lecrlvT a |*-nw»nal delivery of your
k*Ut?r, on I a* half of the democratic na
tional convention, held on the-flth of
June, At Kl 1/iuis, u<l vising me of
nomination u tin* candidate of the
rotmtituency represented hy that body,
(or presidenl of the United State-.
I aimverra) that at my earliest conve
nience. and in conformity with image,
1 would pre|«re and trauamit to you a
formal fetter of acreptanee. I now
avail myself of the first interval, ot una
voidable occU|*ationa, to fill that engage
ment.
The convention, liefore making if*
nomination* adopted a declaration of
printipies which an a whole, ra-eiri to
me a wine Mi^ition of the necowitiea
of our conntry ami of the reform.*
needed to bring liack the government
to ita true functiona.to restore purity of
a<lminiatration and to renew the pros-
jierity of the |»eople. Hut some of
the*: reforma are ao urgent that they
claim nsira than a pa.*-sing approval.
Melon** In l*wt»|le Kapense.
The necessity of a reform in the scale
of public expense, federal, state and
municipal, and in the inodea of federal
taxation, justifies all the proininenre
given to it in the declaration of the St.
lamia convention. The present de
pression in all the business and indus
tries of the jieoide, which is depriving
labor of its employment and carrying
want into so many homes, has it
principal cause in excessive govern
mental consumption under the illusioi
of a specious i ros|teritv, engendered
by the false policies of the federal gov
erniuent. A wade of capital hastieen
going on ever since the iw-mcc of I8ttf
which could only end in univer
sal disaster. The federal laze*
of the last eleven years reach
the gigantic sum of $4,300,000,000. l/>
cal taxation has amounted to two
thirds as much more, and the vast ag
gregate is not less than $7,300,0U0,00O
Tins enormous taxation followed a civil
war that liad greatly im|«aircd our ag
gregate wealth,and had mnde a prompt
ieduction in expenses indispen»ahle.
It was aggravated hy most unscientific
nnd ill-advised methods of taxation
that increases! the sacrifices of the |
pie far beyond the receipts of the 11ca
ll ry. It was aggravated more hy a ti
uancial |*olicy which tended to ditnin
isli the energy, -kill and eixmoiny o
production ami the frugality of niwav
consumption, ami induced misndcula
lion in huaiiiesM and an uuriMitiineni
live use of capital and labor. Kven in
prns|ierouN limes the daily wants «
industrious communities press chisel
U|s>n their daily earnings.
The margin of possihlo national snv
iugsis at Is-wt a small |er rentage
nmional earnings, yet now, for throw-
eleven m-ais, governmental cummin f
lion has lieen a larger portion of th>
national earnings than the whole pet
pie can |Mw«il»ly save, even in prospei
ous times, for all new investment. Tin
consequence* of flow errors are now
a present public calamity, luit the;
were never doubtful, inner invis.M
They were nt cosuiry and inevitnhh
atnl were foreseen and depicte«l when
the wave of that fictitious prosperity
ran highest, lu a speech made hy mV
on thelHthof Ntqi'cinoer, 1807, it wa
said of these tax* k
'•They bear heavily upon every man
income, U|s>n every industry
and every business in the country, and
year hy year they are destined to pies*
still more heavily unless we am at tlx
system that gives use to them. It was
comparatively easy when values wen
doubling under re|>euted issues of legal
tender paper money to pay out of the
froth ot our growing ami apisvrem
wealth these taxes, hut when value*
recede and sink toward their natural
scale,the tax gatherer takes from us not
only our income, not only our profits,
hut nl*o a portion of our capital. I do
not wish to exaggerate orrlarm, I sim
nly aav that we cannot afford the cost
ly and ruinous policy of the radical
majority of congress; we cannot afford
that |s4icy towards the south; we can
not afford'the magnificent ami oppres
sive centralism into which our govern
ment is being converted; we cannot
afford the present magnificent rcale ol
taxation to the secretary of the trvaau
ry.”
I said early in 1803: "There is no royal
road for a government more than for
an individual or a corporation What

I’nrrrnrj 'Reform.
Reform is nect-warv, declares the
St. Ismis convention, to establish a
sound currency, restore the public
credit, and maintain the national hon
or, and it goes on to demand a judi-
cirmi system of reparation by public
economies, by official retrenchments,
and by wise financiering, which
enable the nation soon to assure
the whole world of its perfect ability
and its perfect readiness . to meet
any of Its promises at
the call of its cesditore
entitled to payment. The object de
manded by the convention is a resump
tion of specie payments on the legal
tender notes of the United States, that
oijld not only restore the public cred
it ami maintain the national honor,hut
would establish a sound currency for
the people. The method by which
this object is to be pursued,
and the means by which it is to be at
tained are disclosed by what the con
vention demanded oy tlta future and
by what it denounced in the |*ast.
Hunk Sale Resumption.
Resumption of specie payments by
the government of the United state*
iu its legal tender notes would estab
lish specie payments be all the banks
on all their notes. Oilicial statements
made on the 3th of May show the
amount of the bank notes was three
hundred millions less twenty millions
held by themselves. Against these
two blind red ami eighty millions of
notes U»« hanks bad one hundred and
forty-five millions of legal tenderj or a
little more than five per cent, of the
amount, hut they also had on deposit
in ♦hejederal treasury aa security for
those notes bonds of tmrUnited States
worth, in gold, about 300 millions,
available and current in all the foreign
monev markets. In resuming the banks
en if it were possible for all of ‘their
•Ira to l»e presented for "payment,
mild have three hundred millions of
specie fund to pay million:
of notes without contracting their Vatu*
to their customers or calling on ar
private debtor for payment. Su*pen<
ed hanks undertaking to resume have
usually !>een obliged to collect from
needy borrowers the means to redeem
excessive issues, and provide reserves.
A vague idea of distress is often
associated with the process of resump
tion. but the distrust which cfiufled
restleanesi in those former instances do
not no w exist. The government lifts only
to make good its promises and the
hanks can take care of themselves
ing anybody. The
government m tneretore tfie sole delin
quent in legtl tender resumption. The
amount of legal tender notes of the
United Staes now outstanding is les“
than $370,000,1KiO besides $34,000,000
of fractional currency. How shall the
government make these notes at all
times as good as specie? It l*s to
order to save the interest on its bonds—
promises which it still compels private
daalent to accept at a fictitious par. The
highest national honor is not only right,
but would prove profitable. Of the
public debt nine hundred and eighty-
live millions bear interest at six per
cent, in gold, and seventy-two millions
at five j»er cent, in gold, the average
is 5$ per cent. A financial policy,
1 which should secure the highest credit
wisely availed of, ought gradually to
obtain a reduction of one per cent,
on the interest on most of the loans.
A saving of one p*?r cent on the aver
age would be seventeen millions a year
in gold. That saving regularly invest
ed at four and a half per cent, would,
in lea* tb«n thirty-eight years, extin
guish the principal. The whole .$700,*
000,000 oi funded debt might be
paid by this saving alone,
without any cost to the
!*<«ple. The proper time for
resumption is the time when wise pre
parations shall have ripened into a per
fect ability to accomplish the object
w ith a certainty and case that will in
spire confidence and encourage the re
viving of business. The earnest time
in w hich such a result can be brought
al>out is the best. Even when the pre
parations shad have t»een matured
the exact date would have to be chos
en with reference to the then existing
state of trade and credit operations in
our own country, the course of foreign
commerce and the condition
of the exchange with other nations.
The specific measures and the actual
are matters of details, having reference
to ever changing conditions.. They
belong to tin* domain of practical ad
ministrative statesmanship. The cap
tain of a steamer afloat from New Yoik
to Liverpool does not assemble a
council over his ocean chart and fix
an angle by which to keep the
rudder for the whole of the voyage.
A human intelligence must be at the
helm to discern the shifting forces of
the watexa and the winds, and a hu
man baud iuu?t be on the helm to
feel the elements day by day, and
guide to a mastery over them.
riefMnUoa for Resumption.
Such preparations are everything.
Without them a legislative command
fixing a day shows they are a snare
and delusion to all who trust them.
They destroy all confidence ai
thoughtful men whose judgment
at last sway public opinion. An at
tempt to act on such a command or
Mich a promise without preparation
would end in a new suspension. It
would be » fresh calamity, prolific of
confusion, distrust and distress.
The Art of January 14m, 1*75.
The act of congress of the 14th of
January, 1875, enacted that on and
after the first of January, 1879, the sec
retary of the treasury 6hall redeem in
coin the legal tender notes of the Uni
ted States on presentation at the office
of the assistant treasury in the city of
ulacturers and the mechanical art; re
store employment to labor and
renew in all its natural sources
the prosperity of the people.
The government of the United States,
ii\ my opinion, can advance to a re
sumption of specie payment on its le
gal tender notes by gradual and safe
process, and tending to relieve the
present business distress. If charged
by the people with the administration
of the executive office, I should deem
it a duty so to exercise the powers
w ith w Inch it has been, or may be, in
vested by congress as best and soonest
to conduct the country to that benefi
cent result.
Civil Service ami Reform.
The convention justly affirms that
reform is neces.-ary.in the dvil service,
necessary to ita purification, necessary
to iu economy and efficiency, necessa
ry in order that the ordinary employ
ment of the public business may not be
a prize fought for at the ballot box, a
brief reward of party zeal instead of
and held for fidelity in the pul
ploy. The convention wisely added
that reform ss necessary even more in
the higher grades ol the public ser
vice. .President, vice president,
judges, senators, representatives,
cabinet oflicta, these and all others
in authority are the people’s servants.
These offices are not a private perqui
site, they are a public trust. Two evils
infest the official serv ice of the federal
government; one is the prevalent and
demoralizing notion that the public
service exists, not for the business and
benefit of the whole people, but for the
interest of the office-holders who are in
truth but the servants of the people.
Under the influence of this pernicious
error, public employments have been
multiplied, the numbers of those gath
ered into the ranks of office-holders
have been steadily increased beyond
any possible requirement of tbe public
business, while inefficiency, specula
tions, frauds and malversation of the
public fuuds from the high places of
i»ower to the lowest have overspread
the whole service like a leprosy. The
other evil is the organization of the of
ficial class into a body of political mer
cenaries, governing caucuses and dicta
ting the nominations of their own party
and attempting to carry the elections of
the people by undue influence, and by
immense corruption funds systematic
ally collected from the salaries of office
holders. The official class in other
times as good as specie
rovide in reference to the mass which
would be kept hi u*e by the wants of
business^ central reservoir of coin ad
equate of adjustment, of tern library
fluctuations, of international balances,
ind as a guarantee against transient
drains artificially created by panics or
by tqrecuiatinn. It has also to provide
fur ttie payment of such fractional cur
rency arernay '*e presented for redemp
tion, and such in considerable jnirtions
of the legal tenders as individuals from
time to time may desire to con-
ert fur special use, oi in order to lay
by in coin their little* stores of money.
Rr* nmplton K«l I»|lliealt to M*ke.
The coin in tbe treasury available
for this reserve U> gradually strength
en and enlarge that reserve, aod tu
provide for sncli other exceptional de
mands for coin as may arise, does not
M-em to me to Is* a work of diilicillty if
w iseiy planned and discreetly pursued.
It ought not to coat any aai rilii-e t«»
the hiininess of the country; it should
tend on the contrary to a revival «•!
ho|*e and confidence. The coin in t he
treasury On the 30th of June, including
what is held against coin certificate?,
amounted to nearly $7,000,000. The
current of precious metals which ha.*
flowed out of our country for eleven
years, from July 1st, 1S63, to June30th
1870, averaging nearly $76,000,000 a
year, was c^L’,UOU,uoO in the whole
|ML*riod, of which $617,000,000 were tin?
product of our own mines. To anas*
the requisite quantity by intercepting
from the currency flowing out ot
the country and hy acquiring from the
htoeks which exist abroad, without dis
turbing ttie equilibrium ot foreign mon
ey maikets is a result to lie easily work
ed out hy practical knowledge
aiul judgment. With respect to
whatever surplus of legal tendcis the
wants of businutc* may fail to keep in
use, and which,iu order to save Inter
est, will be returned for redemption,
they can !»e cither paid or they can be
funded. Whether they coutiuiie as cur
rency or be abmrbcd into the vast
mass of securities held as investment**,
is merely a question of the rate ot iu-
lerest they draw. Even if they were
to remain in their present form, and
the government were to agree
to pay ou them a rate of interest mak
ing them desirable as investments, they
w ould cease to circulate, and take, their
place with government, state, munici
pal anti other «w>n N>mto * n <* private
bonds, of which thousands of miliums
exist among us. The perfect ease with
which they can be changed from cur
rency into investments lies tbe only
danger to he guarded against, in the
adi ption of general measures to re
move or clearly ascertain tin* surplus,
that is* the* withdrawal of any
which are not a perma
nenl excess lteyond the wants
of business. Evei) more mbehitvnu*
would lie snv measure which affects
the public imagination with fear of an
apprehended rewrrity in the communi
ty where credit is so much used. Fluc
tuations of values in business are large
ly caused by the temporary tieiief of
men even tfcfore those beliefs cofiform
to ascertained realities.
Tins reform will lie resisted at every
step but it must lie pr used persistently.
»to-day the immediate represen-
We i
tatives of the iieople in one branch of
congress, while struggling to reduce
ex|H*nditure'-.com|ielled to confront the
menace of the -cnate and the executive
that unless the objectionable appropri
ations he consented to tbe operations of
tbe povernnieut thereunder shall suffer
detriment or cease. In my judgment
an amendment of the constitution
ought to la* «tevised, sr|mrating into two
distinct bills the appropriations for the
various departments of the public
service and excluding from each bill all
appropriations for other objects and all
iudei'cndent legi.-Lilion. In that .vay
alone the revisory power of each of the
two houses and oi the executive can
be preserved and exempted from the
moral durve-* which often isiiu|h*1s as
sent to objectionable appropriations
rather than stop Hit* wheels of govern
ment.
The Wswiti
An accessory came enhancing the
distress in business is to be found in
the systematic and insupportable mis-
goveminent imposed on the states of
the south. Besides the ordinary effects

otherwise appropriated, and by issuing
in his discretion certain classes of
lionds. More than one and a half of
the four years have pasaedy Congress
and the president have continued ever
since to unite in acts which have les ’
lated out of existence every possil
surplus applicable to this purpose. The
coin in the treasury claim
ed to belong to the
government had on the 30th of June
fallen to h*sa than forty-five millions as
against fifty-nine millions on the first
of Januaiy, 1875, and the availability
of a part of tliat sum is said to ?be
qtieaiior.able. Tne revenues are falling
(aster than appropriations and expen
ditures a e reduced, leaving
the treasury with diminishing
resources. The secretary has done no

The h gislative command, the official
promise, (ixing a day for resumption
have thus far l>eeii barren. No practi
cal preparations towards resumption
have been made. There has been no
progress, there have becu steps hack-
w rd, there is no economy in the oper-
atior.s <4 the government. The home
ly maxims of every day life

should promise to pay a loan out of
surplus income, and yet In* seen every
day sjiendingall ho could lay his hands
on in riotous living, would lose all
character for honesty and veracity.
His oiler of a new premise or his pro
fession as to the value of the old prom

The St. Louis platform denounces the
failure for eleven yexrs to make good
the promise of the legal tender notes:
it denounce* the omission to accumu
late any reserve for their redemption,
it denounces the conduct which during
eleven years of jwace lias made no ad
vances towards resumption, no pre|m-
rations for it, but instead <4 that lias
obstructed resumption by wasting
our resources anil exhausting
all our surplus income; while
professincto intend a speedy return to
specie payments has annually enacted
fre-li hinderances thereto; anil having
first denounced the barrenness of the
promise of a day of resumption,
next denounces that barren promise as
a hinderance to resumption; it then de
mands the establishment of a judicious
system of prepjration for resumption
It cannot bo doubted that the
substitution of a system
preparation without the worthless
promise of a day without a system of
(•reparation, would be the gain of the
subwtancc of resumption in exchange
for ita shadow. Nor is the denunciation
unmerited, if that improvidence which

Ainonsl ol Si^rwwry Currency.
The amount oi necessary currency at
n given time cannot be .letermine.I itr-
hinurily and should not lie assumed
upon conjecture. That amount is sub-
je.t to both permanent and temporary
changes, an enlargement of which
seemed to be de?irable happeu. d at the
beginning of the civil war by a substi
tuted use of currency in place of indi
vidual credit. It varies with certain
states of business, it fluctuates with
considerable regularity at different
seasons of the year. In autumn for in
stance, when buyers of grain and
other agricultural products
gin their .qierations, Uiey usu
ally need to borrow capital or cir-
cufatiug credit bv which to make their
purchases and want these funds in
currency capable <4 being distributed
in small sum* among numerous sel
ler*. The additional need of currency
at such times is five or more per cent «»f
the whole volume, and a surplus l»e-
yon.l what is required for ordinary use
doe* not happen to lie on hand
at the money centres, scarcity of cur
rency ensues, and also a stringency
in the lo«n market. It is
in reference to such experiences that iu
a dtKussiou .4 this subject in my an
nual message to the New York legisla

was made that tne federal government

The distress now felt bv the peopl

though it lias its principal cause in the
enormous waste of capital occasioned
hy the false (Hilieiesof our govt ruuient.
has been greatly aggravated by the
mismanagement of the currency.—
Uncertainty is the prolific parent of
mischiefs in all business; never were
its evils more felt than now; men do
nothing because they are u» able to

can safely rely ; they undertake noth

countries, sometimes by its own weight
and sometimes in alliance with the
arir.y, has been able to rule the
unorganized ina-ses. Even under
universal suflrage here it has al
ready grown into a gigantic
{tower, capable of stifling the
tion of a sound public opinion,
resisting an easy change of ad
ministration until misgovernment be
comes intolerable, and public spirit has
been stung to the pitch of a civic revo
lution. The first step in reform is the
elevation of the standard by which the
appointing {tower selects agents to exe
cute official trusts. Next in importance
is a conscientious fidelity in the exer
cise of the authority to hold to account
and d‘solace untrustworthy or incapa
ble subordinates. The public interest
in an honest, skillful performance of
official trust, must not be s&critied to
the usufruct of the incumbents. After
these immediate steps, which will en
sure the exhibition of better examples,
we may wisely goon to the abolition of
unnecessary offices, and finally, to the
patient, careful organization of a better
civil service system under the tests,
wherever practicable, oi proved com
petency ami fidelity.
«'«.neIa*Ion.
While much may be accomplished
by these methods, it might encourage
delusive exueetations if I withheld here
the expression of my conviction that
no reform of the civil service in this
country will be complete and perma
nent until its chief magistrate is con
stitutionally disqualified for re-eleclinn
experience''having frequently exposed
the futility of sclf-imiio&ed restrictions
by candidates or incumbents. Through
tliis solemiiitv alone can he effectually
be delivered from his greatest tempta
tion to niistne the power and patron
age with which the executive is neces
sarily charged. Educated in the belief
that it is the first duty of aeitizen of the
republic to take his fair allotment of
care and trouble »n public affairs, I
have, forty years aa a private citizen,
fulfilled that duty. Though occupied
in an unusual degree during that pe
riod with the concerns of the govern
ment, I have never acquired the habit
of official life. When, a year and a half
ago, I entered on my present trust it was
in order to consummate the reforms
to which I had already devoted sev
eral of the best years of my life.
Kuowing as I do therefore from fresh
exjierieuce how great the difference is
lietween gliding through an official
routine, and working out a reform of
systems and politics, it is impossible
for me to contemplate what needs to
be done in the federal administration
without an anxious sense of the diffi
entities of the undertaking. If sum
moned by the suffrages of my country
men to ariempt this work, I shall en
deavor, with God’s help, to be the
efficient instrument of their well being.

Thf System Which He Represent*,
and which has fostered him, and he
has fostered, is suffered to remain. The
president alone must not he
made the scape goat of the
system which infects the public service
and threatens the destruction of our
institutions. In some respects I hold
that the present executive has been
the victim, rather than the author, of
that vicious system. Congressional
and party leaders have been stronger
than the president. No one man could
have created it, and the removal cf no
one man can amend it. It is thorough
ly corrupted must be swept remorse-
ly by the selectiou of a government
composed of elements entirely new and
pledged to radical reform.
The Work or Kc-form.
The first work of reform must evi
dently^ the restoration of the normal
operation of the constitution of the
United States, with all its amendments.
The necessities of war cannot be plead
ed in a time of peace. The right of lo
cal self government, as guaranteed by
the constitution ol the union, must be
every where restored, and the central-
i/.ed,almost personal imperialism which
has been practiced must he dune a wav,
or tbe first principles of the republic
will be last.
Gold and Sliver (he Real BUaitnrd*.
Our finxncial system of expedients
must be reformed. Gold and silver are
the real standards of value, and our
national currency will not he a perfect
medium of exchange until it shall he
'.•on venable at the pleasure of the hold
er. As I have heretofore said, no one
desires a return to specie payment more
earnestly than I do, but I do not be
lieve that it will or can lie reacned in
harmony with the interests of tne peo
ple bv artificial measures, or the con
traction of the currency any more than
1 believe that wealth* or permanent
prosperity can be created by inflation
of the currency. Tiie laws of finance
cannot lie disregarded with impunity.
The financial policy of the govern
ment-^, indeed, it deserves the name
of policy at all—has been in disregard

7o the Hon. John A Mi Clernund,Chair
man and others. Committee of Uie Na
tional Ifeinoeratic Convention:
Gentlemen—I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receiptof your commu
nication, in which you have formally
notified me of my nomination by the
national democratic convention at St.
Louis, as their candidate for the office
of vice president of the United States.
A Hatter or Heartfelt Appreciation.
It is a nomination which I had neith
er expected nor desired, and yet I rec
ognize and appreciate the high honor
done me hy the convention.
The choice of such a body, pronoun
ced with such unusual unanimity, and
accompanied with so generous an ex
pression of esteem and confidence,
ought to outwe gh all mere personal
desires and preferences of my own. It
is with these feelings, and I trust also
from a deep sense of public duty, that
I now* accept the nomination, and shall
abide the judgment of my country
men.
It would have been impossible for
me to accept the nomination if I could
not heartily indorse the platform of the
convention. I am gratified, therefore,
to he able, uueqaivocally to declare
that I agree in the principles, approve
the policies and sympathise with the
purposes enunciated in the platform.
I*nbl|c Ofllrc Hade Pi leal* Prafll.
T he institutions of our country have
been sorely tired by the exigencies of
dvil war, and since the peace, bv a sel
fish and corrupt management of public
affairs which bos .-homed us before civ
ilized mankind. By unwise and partial
legislation, every industry and interest
of the public have been made to suffer,
aud in the executive departments of the
government dishoicstv, rapacity and
venality have debouched the
public service. Mea koown to be un
worthy have been promoted, whilst
others have been degraded for fidelity
to official duty. Public office has been
made the means of private profit, and
the country has been offeeded to see a
class of men who boast the friendship
of sworn protectors of the state amass
ing fortunes bv defrauding the public
treasury, and by corrupting the ser
vants of the people. In such a crises of
the history of the country, I re
joice that the convention at St.
Louis has so nobly raised the
standard of reform. Nothing can be
well with us or with our affkira until
«*ur p.iblic conscience, shocked by the
enormous evils and abuses which pre
vail, shall have demanded and com
pelled an unsparing reformation of our
national administration. The removal
of a single officer, even the president,
is comparatively a trifling matter, if
ted by the substitution of wiser and
more prudent legislation, which shall
mainly relv on a judicious system of
public economies aud oilicial retrench
ments, and, above all, on the promo
tion of prosperity in all the industries
of the i>eople. I do not understand the
repeal of the resumption clause of the
act of 1875 to he a backward step in our
return to specie payments, but the re
coverv of a false step; and although the
repeal m«y for a time he prevented,yet
the determination of the democratic
party on the subject has not been dis
tinctly declared, and there should he
no hindrances put in the way of a re
turn to specie payments. * As such
hindrance, says the platform of the St.
Louis convention, ‘ we denounce the
resumption clause of 1875, and de
mand its repeal.”
I thoroughly believe that by public
economy, by official retrenchment and
by wise finance, enabling us to accu
mulate the precious mends resump
tion at an early period is possible with
out producing an artificial scarcity of
currency or disturbing public or com
mercial credit, and that these reforms,
together with the restoration of pure
government, w id restore general confi
dence, encourage the useful investment
of capital, furnish employment to la
bor. and relieve the country from the
paralysis of hard times. With the in
dustries of the (>eop!e there have been
frequent interferences.
Our luau‘ lrliHt.
Our platform says that many indus
tries have been im(»overished, our
commerce has been degraded to an in
ferior position on the high seas, man
ufactories have been diminished, agri
culture have been embarrassed, and
the distress of the agricultural classes
demands that these things shall he re
formed. The burdens of the (>eople
must also he lightened hy a great
change in our system of public ex
penses. The profligate expenditures
which increased taxation from five
dollars ]»er capita in I860 to eigh
teen dollars in 1870, tells its own story
of our need of fiscal reform.
Chinese .Slavery.
Treaties with foreign powers should
also he revised aud amended, in so far
as they leave citizens of foreign birth
in any particular less secure in any
country on earth than they would he
had they been born upon our own soil,
and the iniquitous Coolie system, which
through the agency of wealthy compa
nies imports Chinese bondsmen and
establishes a sixties of slavery and in
terferes with the just rewards of labor
on our Pacific coast, should be utterly
abolished.
Rotation an Evil.
In a reform of the civil service I most
heartily indorse that section of the
platform which declares that the civil
service ought not to be subject to
change at every election, and that it
ought not to be made a brief reward
of party zeal, but ought to be awarded
for tried comi>etency, and held for fi
delity in public employ.
Prooeriptlon For Political Opinion*.
I hope never again to see the cruel
and remorseless pruscription for politi
cal opinions, which has disgraced the
administration of the last eight years.
Bad as the civil service now is, all
know it has some men of tried integrity
aud proyed ability. Such men should
be retained in otlice, but no man should
be retained on any consideration wtio
Jack Butler, the policeman, was a
man of indominable pluck, and the
thought that the little apple-boy had
been laughing in his sleeve at him, and
before his very face too, nettled him
beyond eniurance. He plunged after
him with all his might, endeavoring to
raise a hue and erv against him. Billy
wa« now hard pushed, as he was en
cumbered with a pair of new boots
which materially interfered with his
locomotion. For awhile it seemed as
if the officer would over take him, and
the i* dice wan called to him:
“Better stop, you little rascal, for Pi
bound to have you!”
But Billv had no intention of follow
ing the spirit of this gratuitous advice,
though he did appear to do so in the
letter of it. When within a few feet of
him, aud Jack was about to reach out
aud grasp him, Billy suddenly drop-
ped to the ground, doubled up into a
knot, and the next moment the burly
{Hilicemau lay sprawling on the ground
beyond him, stunned and confused.
When he rose to a sitting posture he
glared savagely around him, but Billy
was no where to be seen. He had
gone
“Where the woodbine twineth”
and the discomfited knight of the locust
sat there, hooted at and taunted by the
score of boot-blacks and news boys who
had kept up with the race. He had
dislocated one of his thumbs, knocked
tbe skin ofl both his knees, and his
whole body sustained a shock that
sickened him. To say he was mad
w ould be but a mild expression. He
was in a fuming rage, and ground his
teeth in fiercest pasion.
“Curses on the young imp!” he his 5
ed, as he slowly rose to his feet and
lim(>ed away. “I’ll make him sweat
for this if it takes me the balance of
my life. I’ll have a warrant issued for
hi* arrest. Lord, how my thumb does
hurt!”
In the meantime, Billy, having over
thrown his pursuer, flea down a nar
row alley wav,through to another street,
along which he ran several blocks, un
til he found he was not pursued. By
this time the street lamp8 were being
lighted, and Billy relinquished the idea
of visiting the hospital that evening.
He went down another street and
entered a small hotel, ordered supper
and a l*ed, and soon retired to rest aud
to think over the situation*
Jack Rutler, true to his threat, had
warrant for the arrest of Bdly Goss,
and the police instructed to arrest him.
lie was charged with fighting in the
street. Karlv the next morning Billy
repaired to the barber’s shop ana don-
and he is so kind and good, Tom, that
you must tell him the whloe truth
about our muss, if you want him to be
our friend. Didn’t you hit me first,
om?”
Fes,” said Tom penitently, “but
on know I was madder’n a hornet,
■illy.”
“I know you was, Tom,” he remarked,
and you hit me harder’n a mule can
kick. Here's my Land, Tom, and let’s
be friends.”
Tom burst into tears as he clasped
Billy’s hand; and Billy himself hastily
drew his sleeve across’ his eyes.
“That confession was ingeniously
draw n out,” remarked Mr. Chalmers to
the station keeper, “that Billy is the
sharpest witted youth I ever saw.”
“He was too much for Jack Butler, at
any rate,” replied the officer, smiling.
“He couldn’t catch him, I suppose.”
“No, he tripped Jack and threw
him so heavily he will not he able for
dutv in a week,”*
“Mercy on me!” ejaculated Mr. Chal
mers. “He never told me anything
about that!”
“Of course not,’' said the officer. “He
told you only Ins side of the story.”
“Come here, Billy!” said Mr. Chal
mers sternly. “Did you trip and throw
Mr. Butler, a policeman yesterday?”
“He was a running after me, sir, and
how could a little hoy like me keep a
h g man like him from running over
him? He just run over me like 1 was a
slump, and fell down himself.’
Mr. Chalmers and the station keeper
saw the point so ingeniously made by
the lad, and laughed heartily, at the
expense of poor Jack Butler.
“Cheer up Toni, my lad,” said Mr.
Chalmers, to the weeping prisoner. “If
you will promise me to come to Sunday
school every Sabbath, with Billy here,
I will pay your fine for you.”
“Yes sir!” cried Tom, eagerly seizing
the generous merchant's hand aud cov
ering it with tears. “I will go every
Sunday, sir, see if i don't!”
Well, I will try you, Thomas,” said

Of sectional contentions, and in re
spect to common schools, I have only
this to sav: That, in my judgment, the
man or party that would involve our
schools in a political or sectarian con
troversy is an enemy to schools. Com
mon schools are safer under control of
no party or sect They must be neither
sectarian nor partisan, and there must
be neither division or misappropria
tion of funds for their support. lake-
wise I regard the man who would
aro'ise or foster sectional animosities
and antagonism among his counlry-
*men as a dangerous enemy to his coun-
try.
The Government Must Not be Parti
san.
All the people must l>e made to feel
and know that once more there is estab
lished a purpose aud policy under
which all citizens of every condition,
race or color, will be secure in the en
joyment of whatever rights the cvnsti-
tion and laws declare or recognize, and
that in controversies that may arise the
government .is not partisan, but w ithin
its constitutional authority Jthe just and
powerful guardian of the rignts and
safety of a l. The strile between the
sections and between the races will
cease as soon as the power for evil is
taken away from the party that makes
political game out of scenes of violence
and bloodshed, and constitutional au
thority is placed in the hands ot men
whose’ political welfare requires that
peace and good order shall be preserved
everywhere.
In Eallre Aecoril.
It will be seen,gentlcman,that I am in
entire accord with the plattorm of the
convention bv which I have
been nominated as a candidated for
tbe office of vice president oi the Uni
ted State*.
U*v Tlblet*** t birtirf^r.
Permit me, in conclusion, to express
my satistaction at being associated with
a * candidate for prtsident who is
first amorg his equals as a repre
sentative of the spirit and of the achiev-
ment of reform in bis official career as
executive of grand state of New York.
He basin a comparatively short period,
reformed the public burdens so as to
have earned at once the gratitude
of his state, and the admiration
of the country. The people knaw him
to be thoroughly in earnest. He has
shown himself to be po-sessed of the
powers and qualities which fit him in
an eminent degree for the great work
of reform which his country now needs,
ned his old clothes again, leaving his
new suit in charge of one of the bar
bers whom he knew. He repaired to
the store ol Mr. Chalmers and reported
the news of the fracas between him
self and Tom Jones, and the loss of his
basket and cap.
“And they’se just after me all the
time, sir.” he added.
“Of course you can't sell apples as
long as the police chase you wherever
you go!” remarked Mr. Chalmers.
“No sir,” said Billy, demurely.
“Now te’l me the whole truth, my
lad,” said Mr, Chalmers, “who com
menced the fight? who struck the first
blow?”
“lie hit me firiL”
“Are you sure of that?”
“Yes sir.”
“No mistake, eh?”
“Alnt that his mark?” asked Billy,
placing the end of his index finger on
a dark circle under liis left eye “Ain’t
that where he hit me the first lick?”
“Really, I don’t know,” &aid Mr.
Chaleuiers. “I don’t know’ any thing
about it.”
“Well, if yon’d a been me you’d a
knowed it.”
“No doubt of that, my lad,” said the
merchant, smiling. “But what's to be
done about it, now that ttie police are
after you?”
“I dunno, 'less I keep my heels
greased for a run all the time.”
“But that will interfere with busi
ness,” remarked Mr. Chalmers. “I
think we had better go into the police
court this morning aud settle the matter
at once.”
Billy looked blank. It was no part of
his programme to go and surrender
himself, hut he suspected, and not
without reason, that Mr. Chalmers
would not leave him in trouble.
“Will you go with me sir?” he ask
ed, looking up at his kind benfactor.
“Yes, I will go with you. We will
go aud see Toni, and see what he has
to say about that fight. But it will be
nearly two hours yet before the court
meets. Let's go out and see if we can't
find that suit of clothes I pomieed you
yesterday.”
Billy leaped to his feet In joyful ex
citement, and followed the gentleman
out into the street. In the uext block
tney entered a clothing store where he
was soon fitted to a good suit of clothes,
under clothing, hat and hoots,
“I see von have had your hair cut,”
remarked Mr. Chalmers, as he placed
a hat on the youth’s head.
“Yes sir, I went to a barber yesterday
and had it cut, It had growed too
long.”
“X think so. Does that hat fit you'
“Yes sir.”
“Then let's go hack to the store—but
I stay. ^ You ought to have an every day
working suit, and save these for Sun
day. Get him a good, coarse, strong
suit of clothes, sir.”
The clerk soon had them down on
the counter, and Billy could hardly
contain himself for joy. He seized Mr.
Chalmers hand, and in a choking voice
said:
“You are good sir. I will try to be a
good boy, and mind every thing you
say,” and as he spoke the tears coursed
down his freckled cheeks. Tears are
always the test of sincerity acd as the
generous Christian merchant saw the
lad's tears he believed their sincerity as
firmly as in his own existence.
“Remember my lad” he said “that I
am doing this for your good, hoping
your future conduct will justify me, If
you are a good boy, industrious, and
punctual at Sunday school, you will al
ways find a friend in me.”
On their way back to the merchant's
store they met a policeman who stop
ped and stared at Billy, as if he was not
certain as to his identity. Billy did
not seem to notice it, but he kept one
eye on him. But they passed on, reach
ing the store, where the second suit of
clothe* were left until they could return
from the police court. Billy followed
Mr. Chalmers to the court room, feel
ing confident that whatever was in store
there for him Mr. Chalmers would not
let him suffer. They arrived there
some time before the court opened ami
half a dozen policemen at once pounced
on our hero.
“Ob, ain’t you brave now!” sarcastic
ally asked Billy, whose courage rose
with the dangers that surrounded him.
“Bring all of ’em to help take a little
boy.”
“Hush, Billy,” said Mr. Chalmers
laughing in spite of himself. “Let him
go, gentlemen,'* turning to the officers.
“He has come here with me to stand
his trial, and I will be responsible for
him to the court.”
The officers knew Mr. Chalmers, and
at once released him. Billy coaid nol
refrain from showing hi* contempt fos
the whole police force, behind his ben-
efactors back, which he did in variour
ways. If there was anything for which
he had contempt it was a policeman,
said contempt having been planted in
his bosom only twenty-four hours be
fore. It had attained a wonderful growth
iu so short a time.
Mr. Chalmers asked to see Tom Jones,
and the poli e station keeper conducted
him and Billy to one of the cells in
which the unfortunate youth was con
fined. When they entered they found
him squatted in a corner, crying bitter
ly.
“Hello Tom,” said Billy cheerfully.
“Why didn’t you cut sticks like I did,
eh!”’ *
Tom jumped to his feet in amaze-
menu
Ain’t they cotched you yet,Billy,” he
asked in boyish surprise.
‘Nary cotch,” sententiously replied
so dry your tears and
feel easy about it. Let him go with
me, sir, to the officer, “and I will be
responsible for his appearance.”
“Come out Tom,” said the keeper,
and the boy sprang out of the room as
if shot out of a'mortar. They repaired
at one to the court room, where, when
the case was called, Tom told the
story of the fight, acknowl
edging to having strnck the
first blow. This exonerated Billy from
blame iu the matter. Tom was fined
five dollars and costs, which Mr. Chal
mers paid. As all three were about to
leave the court room, an officer arrest
ed Billy on a charge of resisting an of
ficer.
Mr. Chalmers turned to the court
and said:
“May it please the court, this charge
is the result of chagrin or malice, and
the officer that would stoop to make
such a charge against such a stripling
as this boy is, ought to be dismissed
from the force in disgrace. The idea
of this child resisting an officer is sim
ply absurd. This resistance lay in the
tree use of his heels, which he told me
this morning he keeps greased for fast
running.”
The court smiled, and remarked:
“The case is dismissed,” and Billy
was once more free.

and lungs. Other remedies, so numerously re

any good but for a short time, whilst your Oau-

with remedies for the relief of the throat aud

the sufferings of my mortal existence. Seeing Dr.

being well acquainted with the reverend doctor
for nearly forty years, and consequently knew

might do me good, at least I had never used it.

ring; a thing I could not have done for three years
or longer, and have been able to lie down comfort
ably and sleep soundly, a comfort that I had not
enjoyed for a long time. I have been using the
remedy about twenty days, and unhesitatingly
certify that It Is a curt for consumption and ail
affections of the throat. 31y lungs commenced
xhiblting signs of disease In March, 1858, the re
sult of mtadtt. a cough ensued and continued to
grow worse. April, 1874, I was so feeble that
could not attend to business ot any sort, and was
forced to give up and come to Atlanta that I might
be near my good old mother to breathe out my last
on earth: the never-tiring attention of that mother
and your Consumption Cure and Lung Restorer
has saved me and I now feel as If my life might
be spared me several years longer, Indian

the contrary. Respectfully,

The proprietors of Hostetter’s Stom
ach Bitters promise nothing in behalf of this fam
ous tonic aud regulating elixir which it will not
perform. No pretensions irreconcilxbie with
common reuse ate made in reference to it, but
evidence of the most positive nature has been
emulating for over a quarter of a century in its
behalf which proresit to be a reliable preventive
and curates of malarial diseases, an efficient and
genial tonic and general corrective, and specially
valuable in cases where the bowels, stomach or
urinary organs arc affected. Debility, the source
from whence so many bodily evils spring, is
tirely remedied by the invigorative action of the
Bitters, which arrests premature decay and repairs
losses of nervous and muscular power while im
proving the appetite and rendering digestion easy
