tbe civilized world-—shsll be re
pressed. The law should be rigidly
iforced which prohibits the immigra-
yn of servile classes to compete with
American labor, with no imention cf
acquiring citizenship, and bringing
with them and retaining Ikbits and
.stoma repugnant to onr civilization. *
The people demand reform in tho
•dministration of tbe government, and
application of husi&esa principles
public affairs. As a means to thin
d, civil service reform shonld bo in
good faith enforced. Oar citizen* h*ve
■.ho right of piotection from the incom
petency of public employed* who held
their places 6olely as jke reward of
partisan service, and from the corrupt
ing influence of those who promise and
the vicious methods of thoso who ex
pect each rewards, and those who
.OTthily seek public employment have
the right to insist that merit and com
petency shall be recognized instead of
party subserviency or tbe surrender' of
honest political belief.
In the administration of a govem-
mt pledged to do equal and exact
nice to all men, there shonld be' no
stext for anxiety tonchiog the pro-
ition of tbe freedmen in their rights,
their security in the enjoyment of

to their fitness for the place accorded
them as American citizens is idle

The fact that they are citizens entitle*
hem to all the rights dne to that re-

These topics and the constant and
er-varying wants of an active and

claims of public ofiice, and, above all.
