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.
