Of bis dedication to the protession
of politics: when holders of the bat-
lot, i|iiiukencd by a sense of duty,
shall avenge truth betrayed and
pledges broken, and when the suf
frage shall be altogether full and
uncorrupted, a lull rcalizatim of
government by tlie people will be
nt band. Aud of means to tiiis end
not one would, in my judgment, be
more effectual than an amendment,
to the constitution disqualifying
the President from re-election.
When we consider tlie patronage
of that great otlleo, tho allurements
of power, tbe temptatiou to retain
public places once gained, and,
more than all, the avuilabiiity a
party finds in un incumbent when
a horde of ollice holders, with zeal
bom of benefits received and fos
tered by hope of favors yet to
come, stand ready to aid with
money and trained political ser
vice, we rccogiiize in the eligibility
of a President for re-election the
public employment will be open to
all who can demonstrate their fit
ness to enter it, tlie unseemly
scramble for place under govern
ment, with the consequent impor
tunity which embitters official life,
will cease, anil the public depart
ments will not be filled with those
who conceive it to be their first
duty to aid the party to which they
owe their places, instead of render
ing an honest return to the people.
I believe that tlie public temper
is such that the voters of the land
arc prepared to support the party
which gives tlie best promise of
administering tho government in
ill the honest, simple and plain
manner which is consistent with
its character and purposes. They
liavo learned that mystery and coii-
ceiilmeut in the management of
their affairs cover nicks and be-
truyal. Tlie statesmanship they
require consists iu honesty and fru
gality, a prompt response to the
needs of tlie people as they arise
and the vigilant protection of all
their varied interests. If I should
be called to the chief magistracy
of tlie nation by the suffrages of my
fellow citizens, I will assume the
duties of that high office witii a
solemn determination to dedicate
every effort to the country’s good,
ami witii an humble reliance upon
the favor aud support of tlie Su
preme Being, who, I believe, will
always bless honest human en
deavor in the conscientious dis
charge of public duty.
