On the evi ning of the 8th of June last, I

Domination with-gratitude, for the con
fidence it implies and with a deep sense
of the responsibilities it imports. I cor
iliully indorse the principles set forth in
the platform adopted by the convention.
On nearly all the subjects of which it
treats, my opinions arc in record among
the published proceedings of congress. I
venture, however, to make special men
tlon of some of the principal topics which
are llheiy to become suhj- cts of discus
sion, without reviving controversies
which have bapn fettled d using ill*: last

It ahould be said that while thefrepub-
licans fully recognix* and will attepoualy
defend all the rights retained by the peo
ple *if<l etl the right* reevrwd to the
states, they reject the pernicioiia-dfxrtrioe
of state supremacy, which so long crip*
led the functions of the national govern
ment, and at one time brought the union
very near to dent-ruction. They-, insist-
tlint the United States is a nation with
ample power of self preservation; that
its oonHtitution and the laws made hi pur
euance thereof, are the supreme law’ of
the bind ; that the right of the oatiou to
determine the method by which its own
legislntuie shall be created cannot he sur
rendered without abregating one of the
fundamental powers of the government;
that the national laws, relating to the
election of representatives in con<|res8
shall neither be violated ot evaded;, that
every elector shall be permitted- freely,
and without intimidation to cast bis law
ful ballot at such elections and have It
honestly counted; and that the poteuuy
of his vote shall not be d estroyed by the
fraudulent vote of any other person.
The beat thoughts and energies of our
-people should be directed to those great
questions of national well being, in which
all have a common interest. Booh efforts-
will soon restore perfect pence to those
who were lately in arms against each
other, lor justice and good-will outlast
passion, but it is certain that the Wounds
of the war cannot be completely healed
and tl»e spiiit of brotherhood cannot fully
pervade the whole country until every
citizen, rich or poor, white or black, is
secure in the free and equal enjoyment of
every civil and political right guaran
teed by the constitution and InWs,
Wherever the enjoyment of this is not
secured discontent will prevail, immigra
tion will cease and social and industrial
forces will continue to be disturbed by
the migration of laborers and the conse
quent diminution of prosperity. The
national government should exercise all
its constitutional authority to put an end
to these evils, for all the people and all
the- states are members of.one body, and
no member pan suffer without inj uiy to
all.
The most serious e-vils which now. af
flict the south./ arise from ^tho fact thqt
there is pot nuiqli freedom and, toleration
of political opinion, that .the minority
party can exercise an effective and
wholesome restfiUnt iqion-tlie party fh
power. Without such ^restraint party
rule becomes tyrannical and corrupt.

not be independent unless its people,
with their abundant natural resources,
possess the requisite skill at any time to
clothe, arm and f-qpip,. themselves for
war, aud in time of peace produce all the,
necessary Implements of labor. It was
the manifest intention of the’founders of
the government to provide for the com
tnon defense, not by standing armies
aloue, but by raising among the people.a
greater army of artisans whose intclli
gencc and skill should powerAilly con--

The Missiesippi river/jfeth its great

so many millions of people, that the safe
ty ofits navigation requires exceptional
consitjeration. . Ju.or.dcf to secure to the

The appointment, of citizens to the va-
r|ou« executive and judicial offioes of the
government Js, perhups, the aiost diffi
cult of all duties which the constitution
imposes upon the executive department
in plncing the civil service on u better
basis. Experience has proved that with-
ont frequent changes of adminibtratiou
uo system ot reform oac be effective ana
permanent without the aid ol icgislatiou
lhc appointments on the military and
naval service are so regulated by law
and custom tie te leave but little ground
Of complaint.
It may not be wise to make similar
regulations by law for the civil service,
but without inTud.ng the authority or
necessary discretion of the executive,
congress should device a method that
will detcrpiinc the tenure of office and
greatly reduce the ungprtainty which
mak e c hat service so uncertain and un
satisfactory. Without depriving any uf-
fiecr of his rights us a citizen, the govern
ment should require him to, discharge all
his official duties with intelligence, ef*
floieney and faithfulness. To select
wisely from our vast population those
who are best fitted for the many offices
to be filled requires an acquaintance far
beyond the range ofauy one inan. The
executive should, therefore seek and rc<»
cieve information and assistance of tho«e
whose knowledge of the communities in
v.-hich the duties are to be performed
best qualifies them to ntd hr makin g the
wisest choice.
The doctrines announced by the Chi
cago convention arc not temporary de
vices of partylp’carry votes, and carry,
ari election. They are .deliberate cbn'vic
tions, rssultlng from a careful Study of
the spirit of our institutions, the events
of our history and the best impulses of
our people. In tny judgment, these
principles should control legislation and
administration of the government. In
any event, they will guide my conduct

tha vnXuc of the frufete dowg the line

little trouble in pnshiag the oowneo-

graded from Mur) hy through Gil* -

tanoe, therefore, of speedily closing
this short gap cannot be overestimh-

the building of this roud. They oonltl
afford to stand any 'Sort of assess-

grading, iu short, they can do any
thing rather than let this project
