H The undersigned, editor of this manual and of the monthly depart- mental joumal, entitled "The United States Record and Gazette," offers his services to'those in need of information, advice, or assist- ance, in any matter requiring the action of the legislative, executive, or judicial authorities at Washington, or elsewhere, at home or abroad, or in any matter wherein the inquirer may have cause to believe that he can be belter or more speetiily informed, advised, or assisted, than at home. P^ Persons who deem themselves to have just and efficient claims and ^ influences upon the public patronage which have not been recognized, may find in this offer an opportunity of obtaining such special infor- mation and advice as they need to make their efforts successful; but the undersigned does not profess to be able to influence appointments, directly or indirectly. Persons who are in want of political, official, or historical information, which can be more readily obtained from the immense collection of manuscripts, bound and pamphlet Ijooks, and records accumulated at the seat of government than by other means, are invited to avail themselves of this agency. Pereons inter- ested in getting cadetships, lieutenantcies, or medical appointments, in the army, or cadetships, or pay, medical or marine appointments in the navy, can obtain necessary information. Many years' residence at Washington, with daily experience within and before the public offices, justifies the undersigned in asserting that he can often perform material service to the absent or inexperienced, and to such he extends the suggestion, not to refrain from addressing themselves to him because of a tloubt whether theirs is a case or question within the scope of this announcement, but to lay the matter before him, if they have any reasonable ground for believing it to be a proper one for his attention.

J. II. SouLfe, P. O. Box 69, Washington, D. C. PREFACE. This manual is intended to show, in plain and compact form, the patronage, working-organization, and business of the Federal Gov- ernment, and the means by which any deserving and capable aspirant lor public employment may hope to share therein. The public business of the United States is largely transacted by officers, agents, and emj^loyees, selected and patronized by the influ- ential members of the political party in charge of the government for the time being, and their tenure of office is practically dependent ui>oii the continued ascendency of that parly, and a continuance of the in- fluence and patronage that led to their selection. There are certain formal acts of procedure necessary to be done in making the political or other influence of an aspirant for olifice avail- able, and these acts are sufficiently described and illustrated herein. This volume is intended to be practically complete within the scojie indicated by its title, and any omissions observed in it will probably be such as are purposely made because they are of no prac- tical service to the readers of the book. But any reader desiring further or more particular information on any subject treated herein, or upon any subject not mentioned at all, will be interested in the advertisement of the Bureau of Information which fronts this preface. The steady growth of the business and working force of the Federal government, and the practical contentment of the people with the ex- isting system of bestowing and exercising the public employments, create a genuine demand for information of the character herein given, while, at the same time, the publication of such intelligence not only brings the knowledge of the opportunity for such employment to large numbers of uninformed persons, but increases, in some degree, the probability of the public service being well performed.

The patronage of the general government consists of a multitude of offices .and employments pertaining to the three great departments of government — the Legislative, the Executive, and thejudicial. The legislative patronage consists in the administrative offices, clerkships, messengerships, and other superior and inferior employ- ments necessary to the service of the Senate, the House of Represen- tatives, and the two Houses sitting together as the Congress. These offices and employments are all exercised at the seat of government. The executive patronage (except the few offices connected with the President's household) is distributed among and supervised by the seven great departments of State, Treasury, War, Navy, Post Office, Interior, and Justice, and the inferior department of Agriculture, and these executive offices and employments are exercised partly at the seat of government, partly in the several States and Territories, and partly abroad. The chief offices under the State Department are those of ministers and consuls in foreign countries. The more numerous offices under the Treasury' Department are the customs and internal revenue ser- vices ; those under the War Department, the commissioned and civil forces of the anny and its stations ; those under the Navy Department, the commissioned and civil forces of the navy, its yards and stations, and the commissioned force of the Marine Corps ; those under the Post Office Department, the postmasterships, railway mail and contract services; those un.der the Interior Department, the Indian, land, pen- sion, and Territorial services; and those under the Department of Justice, the attorneyshi|» and marshalships of the several judicial districts, and the judiciary 'of the Territories. Each of the executive departments has its staff of bureau officers, clerks, messengers, and laborers, employed at the seat of government, and there are many other special services, pertaining to one or the I* (9) lO GENERAL INFORMATION. other of them, which will be particularly mentioned in their appro- priate places hereafter. The judicial patronage consists in the clerkships and commissioner- ships of the several courts of the' United States, with such occasional patronage as is incident to the selection of receivers, referees, com- missioners to take testimony, and other temporary officers needful to the conduct of causes depending in said courts. The manner in which the offices and employments constituting the Federal patronage shall be filled, vacated, and exercised, is the mooted point which is suggested rather than expressed by the familiar phrase — " Civil Service Reform." At the present time, the Federal judges and the commissioned officers of the army, navy, and marine corps, hold their offices during life or good behavior, while nearly all the rest are filled and vacated at the pleasure of the appoint- ing power. The great number, varied character and wide distribution of these offices have made the appointing power virtually dependent upon the members of the two Houses of Congress for advice and assistance in filling and vacating them ; and this dependence has in course of time, and with the constant growth of the patronage, resulted in giving the members of Congress practical control of the patronage in their respective districts. But in order that the moral or active influence of office-holders may not be thrown against tlie political party in charge of the government, such control is withheld from members of Congress in opposition, and given to the managers of the administration party in the States where the offices are exercised. With respect to the offices exercisable at the seat of government, the policy of the government from the earliest times has been to dis- tribute them as equally as may be amongst the several States; and in consequence of this policy it happens that members of the Houses of Congress in sympathy with the administration, are usually permitted to influence such appointments, and they naturally favor those whom they know and associate with in the political circles wherein their own lives and activities are spent. ^ The proposed reform consists in giving the original selection of public officers and employees to permanent and independent tribunals, commissions or officers, and opening to the novice a lifelong career as a civil officer, with its ascending scale of honors and emoluments, free of all control and influence by political parties or politicians. This suggested change has not thus far met with a great amount of GENERAL INFORMATION. II active support, mainly for the reason tliat the public service has been fairly well performed, while the offices have been habitually filleii by men of re-ipectable character and attainments; so that in the absence of any great or practical evil, the people at large are indifferent to, and somewhat afraid of, the proposed new system. Under the exist- ing system there are many cases of life tenure of a practical kind, as where the office cannot ba properly discharged without long familiar- ity with, and training in, its duties. Who May Obtain Office. The President is empowered to prescribe regulations for the admission of persons to the civil service; but no regulations of general application are in force. In their absence, any person who believes tliat he can satisfy the appointing power of his fitness and ability for general or particular employment, may lawfully and hope- fully apply for such employment. He should show that he is a person of good repute in his community, and that his physical and mental qualifications are adapted to a satisfactory discharge of public duty. The great mass of public employments neither require nor call for special preparatory training, but in the departments at Washington persons appointed to clerical offices are always required to pass an examination into their general capacity for clerical work, and in such isolated and temporary instances as the Interior Department, and the New York custom house at the present time, the examinations for *he inferior cler'cdiips are competitive. The following specimen list of questions asked at a competitive examination will be found interesting, and possibly useful, to aspir-nts for clerical positions : 1. Write a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Interior, gi- mg age, birthplace, previous occupation, and present legal residence. 2. Place the following figures on a separate sheet, and add the same : 5 7 9 4 3 6 7 4 3 8 9 6 4 5 7 9 6 7 3 2 9 6 4 8 9 5 7 5 3 8 7 6 9 4 5 8 3 6 5 4 3 9 4 7 3 7. 8 5 4 Correct the following exanijiles of false svntax : I.

Preference is required by law to be given to persons discharged from the military or naval service by reason of wounds or sickness, and any applicant belonging to this class should persistently urge this qualification upon those whom he addresses. Women may be as freely appointed as men to public employments which they can satisfactorily fill, and may receive like pay for like service; but, as matter of fact, the range of suitable employments for them is comparatively limited. How to Make Application. The earliest care of an applicant for public employment should be the preparation of his papers. First, he should compose and write out his application, in the form of a letter to the person having the power of appointment. He should state, as closely as he can, the 14 GENERAL INFORMATION. particular office or the kind of employment desired. If lie intends to advocate the displacement of a person in possession of llie desired office, he should give his reasons for that person's removal, and they should be such as he would not object to have that person see or hear. He should then state his age, residence, nativity, occupation, physical condition, educational qualifications, former public employments, special qualifications for the desired employment, if any, and what claims he has on the nation, his political party, the particular branch of the service to which he is applying, and the person to whom his letter is addressed. He should lastly mention the names, addresses, and other particulars of public men, lawyers, ministers, merchants. Federal and State officers, and other leading citizens, to whom he re- fers for proof of good character and general capacity. The following is given as a model for an application : "Saluda, Ohio, May 15, 1880. " To THE Honorable Postmaster-General : " Sir : — I respectfully apply for an appointment as a railway post- office clerk or mail route agent. I am 37 years of age, a native of Canada naturalized in the United States, a resident of Saluda, Scott county, Ohio, a machinist by occupation, of sound health and body, and the possessor of a public school and academic education. I was for two years, in 1872 and 1873, an assorting clerk in the Cincinnati post-office, and had much experience in the handling of mail matter, and acquired much knowledge of the names and locations of post- offices in the Middle and Western States. " I served for two and a half years as a private and non-commis- sioned officer in the 65th Ohio Volunteers, and was severely wounded in action at Atlanta. I have been for ten years an active member of the Republican party in this close Congressional District, and have always done all that could honorably be done to promote its success. " I beg to refer to General Slote, the Representative from this Dis- trict, Postmaster Sperry, County Judge James Robertson, the Rev. Dr. Jacob Paulding, Mr. Thomas Mar^liall, merchant, Lawyer John Dodd, Dr. Ephraim Squires, and many other prominent citizens of Saluda, for evidence of my character and fitness for an appointment in the postal service. Your obedient servant, " Charles T. Campbell." The applicant should next proceed to obtain letters of recommen- dation from the leading citizens of his neighborhood, without regard to their political affiliations. He should endeavor to get a separate, autograph letter from each indorser, couched in the writer's own lan- guage, and he should always suggest to the writer to put his recom- mendation in such a way as to show upon its face tliat he means_ what he says. The appointing officers at Washington are never much im- GENERAL INFORMATION. I5 pressed by a circular letter of rccomiTieudation, apparently drawn up by the applicant or a friend, and jjasscd about for signature, and the frc'iuent practice of several persons writing and signing the phrase "I concur" beneath a preceding recommendation should be avoided. The applicant should add, in his own hand, to the signature appended lo each letter of recommendation, such brief note of the writer's local position and standing as will enable the appointing power to understand the true value of the recommendation. When the formal application and recommendations are ready, the applicant should next exert himself to interest his Representative in Congress in his application. If they are not in political accord, these efforts should be confined to convincing the Representative that the appointment would be popular with and give real satisfaction to the belter cla.ss of people in the community, and especially to the inde- pendent voters whose opinions and good-will require conciliation. If they are in political accord, the value of the past and future services of the applicant to the party should be impre-ised upon the Repre- sentative by letter and speech from the applicant himself, and from everybody whom he can persuade lo write- or speak to the Repre- sentative in his behalf. The Senators from the ajiplicant's State should also be enlisted in the same way if possible, but they must not be relied upon as much as the Representative. If neither the Rep- resentative nor the appointing authority belong to the same political party as the applicant, the latter must trust to other tlian political influences or aids if he venture to try or to hope for a place at all. When the applicant succeeds in getting the Representative, of such other political leader as he is obliged to depend upon, interested in his case and satisfied of his good repute and ability, he should see to it that his papers are mailed, or presented, to the appointing officers, in order that they may be properly recorded and filed, and so made accessible at any time. Thenceforward, for a definite time (say a short month), he should devote his whole surplus of time and energy to keeping his personal and political friends at work upon his case, writing or speaking to anybody and everybody likely to be of any service, and always acting upon the theory that everybody, no matter how much interested, apparently, in his case, forgets all about it as soon as he is out of sight or hearing every time. If no progress is made in the definite time laid down in advance, the applicant should abandon his eflbrts long enough to enable his 1 6 GENERAL INFORMATION. friends and backers to get over fatigue and doubtfulness, and then begin afresh. The same general course of procedure should be followed in the pursuit of the more temporary and inferior public employments, or of those where the appointing or nominating authority is nearer at home, and more accessible to personal importunity and local influence. The applicant should never feel sure of appointment till appointed, nor should ever fear that he is saying or doing too much himself, or that others are doing or saying too much for him, or that any help he can get from any quarter, of any kind, will be useless. However numerous and warm his friends may be, none will ever feel so much interested as himself in his success, and the more active and per- sistent he is in availing himself of the services and influence of others, the more anxious they will be to regain their own peace by getting him placed as speedily as possible. First, an applicant should be sure in his own mind that he really needs or desires a public employment; next, he must be satisfied that the application and recommendations are such as would secure him a position if there were more places than applicants ; and, lastly, he must feel, and act upon the feeling, that he is engaged in a desperate struggle with a great number of competitors for the same place, all of them as eager, and moht of them as enterprising, as himself. He should also be mindful of the fact that unsystematic and unskillful activity is likely to waste the time and wear out the spirits of himself and his friends. It is always useful for an applicant, who cannot himself attend and wait upon the appointing officer, to have some friend or correspondent to make a business of frequently visiting the appointing-office and (without attempting to exert direct influence) keep watch and track of the applicant's interest amid the constantly-changing circumstances that affect it. An applicant for office should not apply for employment generally if he can avoid it ; but his chances are always much better when he is able to point out and apply for the particular employment, or kind or class of employment, that he seeks. On the other hand, he should not frame his application, or his written or oral communications so absolutely as to discourage others from seeking for or offering to him a different office from the one designated by himself. Modesty of speech and behavior should always be displayed by an applicant for office, but he must be particular to set out and refer GENERAL INFORMATION. I 7 to every claim or inrluccment likely to be of direct or indirect service, and he should not shrink from applying for the highest appointment for which he can secure honest and sincere recommendations and assistance. A frequent qualification and motive for appointing a person to an inferior office is the contest he has made, and the social and political backing he has received, for an important place. In respect to offices not exercised in the incumbent's own State, it has come to bjs almost a fixed rule that citizens of the same State are to succeed each other indefinitely in them, so that one qualification for such an office is that the applicant is from the same State as the late or present incumbent. It is impossible to give separate or special advice to each reader of this manual concerning the ])articular office or kind of employment for which he should make application. He should consider his own age, bodily condition, intellectual attainments, tastes, habits, past experience, social and political rank, and Influence in the community and his party, and, having informed himself, from this work and any other source of information at command, as to how many and what kinds of appointments he could possibly get, should select those which seem to hold out the best prospects of success or satisfaction, and frame his application and recommendations accordingly. All public employments have, to a greater or lesser extent, the common advantages of higher pay, easier labor and surer returns than private employments, and it is just these advantages that tempt men to forego the manliness, independence, and opportunities of private life ; so that, if they did not exist, the government could get no service at all, except in the higher grades, where the mere honor of holding office would be a sufficient inducement to the more opulent classes of the people. By Whom Appointments are Made. Every Federal employment is exercised under the legislative, the executive, or the judicial department of government. In the legislative department, the Secretary and other principal officers of the Senate are chosen by a caucus of the Senators belonging to the political majority. The Secretary appoints the clerical and laboring force of his office; the Sergeant-at-Arms appoints the door- keepers, mail and document employees, and the general working force ; and the chainnen of committees severally appoint the commit- tee clerks. 1 8 GERERAL INFORMATION. The Clerk and other prhicipal officers of the House of Representa- tives are chosen by a caucus of the political majority. The Speaker appoints the reporters ; the Clerk appoints the clerks and messengers ; the Door-keeper appoints the door-keepers, document employees and general working force ; the Architect appoints the heating and ven- tilating force ; the Sergeants-at-Arms of Senate and House, together with the Architect, appoint the Capitol policemen ; and the chairmen of committees severally appoint the committee clerks. In the Executive Department the President appoints the heads of the seven great departments and the Department of Agriculture ; the heads of Departments appoint the clerks and messengers in their several departments, and virtually appoint the important officers, whether at Washington or elsewhere, whose offices are superintended by their respective departments; but in these cases the President may be addressed, and solicited, and visited, with perfect propriety, as well as the heads of departments. Applicants for diplomatic and consular offices must look to the Secretary of State ; applicants desiring to be heads of bureaus of the Treasury, or principal customs, Internal Revenue, depositary, mint, or steamboat-inspection or revenue marine officers, must look to the Secretary of the Treasury ; civilians desiring to be cadets, second lieutenants, paymasters, or post-traders in the army, must look to the Secretary of War; applicants, for cadetships, or pay or medical appointments in the navy, or lieutenantcies of marines, must look to the Secretary of the Navy ; applicants for Territorial, Indian, patent office, and public land employments, must look to the Secretary of the Interior; applicants for important places in the postal service, must look to the Postmaster-General ; applicants for judicial and law offices, must look to the Attorney-General ; and applicants for occa- sional technical and scientific employment in connection with agricul- ture, must look to the Commissioner of Agriculture. The Public Printer appoints the printers, binders, and skilled and unskilled workmen and laborers, in the Government Printing Office. The Sergeants-at-Arms of Congress have much occasional employ- ment for deputies, and there are many temporary appointments made by the other appointing officers of Congress, and the iame may be said of the heads of the Executive departments and bureaus. Consuls have the nomination of numerous assistants and agents. The Comp- troller of the Currency appoints the examiners of national banks. GENERAL IN'rOR.MA'l ION. 19 The Surgeon-General of Marine Hospitals has the practical selection of assistant surgeons in that service. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue appoints the revenue agents. The Collectors of Internal Revenue nominate their deputies, clerks, store-keepers, and gaugers. The Collectors, Naval Officers, Surveyors, and Appraisers of Customs, nominate their clerks and other subordinates. The .Marine Hospital Surgeons nominate their subordinates. The Superintendents of Con- struction select the foremen and workmen on buildings under con- struction. The Quartermasters, Commissaries, Paymasters, Engineers, Ordnance Officers, and Store-keepers of the army, employ large numbers of clerks, superintendents, workmen, and laborers. The Surgeon-General selects a large part of the hospital stewards of the army. The Chief Signal Officer selects the weather observers. The Chiefs of Bureaus of the Navy Department have the virtual appoint- ment of the boatswains, gunners, sadmakers, carpenters, and civilian surgeons of the navy. The Indian Agents choose the agency employees. Postmasters choose the clerks, letter-carriers, and local mail agents of their respective post offices. The General Superin- tendent of the Railway Mail Service selects the superintendents at the distributing offices. In the judicial department, judges, attorneys and marshals are ap pointed by the President. Clerks of courts are appointed by the several judges, and these clerks select their deputy-clerks. The mar- shals appoint the deputy-marshals ; the circuit courts appoint the United States Commissioners. The Commissioners of the District of Columbia appoint and employ large numbers of persons in various District services. Tenure of Offices. Most of the public employments are held at the will of the appoint- ing power, and this will is very much governed by the wishes of the influential members of the administration parly. Judges of the Supreme, Circuit and District Courts, and of the Court of Claims and Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and commissioned officers of the army, navy, ajid marine corps, hold office during good behavior. Judges of Territorial Courts, assistant treasurers, principal officers of customs and internal revenue, gover- nors and secretaries of Territories, land officers, Indian agents, pen- sion agents, postmasters of the first, second and third classes, district attorneys and marshals, cannot hold office for more than four years under the same commission. 20 GENERAL INFORMATION. Official Bonds. As a general rule, officers having the receipt, custody, or disburse- ment of public money, or the custody or expenditure of public property, are required to give bond for the faithful performance of their trust. The bonds are so numerous and various for the several officers and classes of officers, that it is impracticable to set them out, but it will suffice to say that the amount is never in excess of the dignity and salary of the office, that the execution and approval of them are not matters of difficulty, and that they are no practical obsta- cle to any applicant worthy of recommendation or appointment. Oaths of Office. Every person appointed to office must take an oath of past loyalty and future allegiance to the United States government; or, if he can- not take the oath of past loyalty, he must take: the modified oath of future and paramount allegiance to the Federal government. There are additional oaths for officers appointed in the customs, postal and judicial service, relating to a faithful discharge of duty, and not necessary to be set out herein. Customs and internal revenue officers are required to make oath that they have not received presents from importers or manufac turers each time that they draw their salaries. Disabilities of Officers. No officer can receive the salary of two offices for the same time. Extra compensation for extra services is not allowable unless ex- pressly authorized by law in any case. No officer can prosecute or be interested in any claim against the United States, unless it be his own claim; nor can a departmental officer prosecute claims within two years after leaving the service. No officer can take compensation for services in any matter where- in the United States are interested. Officers must not demand or receive higher fees than allowed by law, nor take presents or gratuities from the public. Officers connected with the branches of service to which" such matters pertain, must not be interested in importing, navigatioHj banking, public funds, public lands, postal contracts, or Indian traffic. Officers having the custody of public property or money, must not traffic or speculate in it. GENERAL INFORMATION. 21 Office-holders must not solicit or make contributions for presents to superiors, nor receive presents from subordinates. The Federal Capital. The post office address of the seat of j^'ovcrnment is " WasIiini- ness communication will receive proper attention in either case. It is not necessary to enclose postage stamps in letters to public officers which require answers; hut it is necessary to give a sufficient address to which an answer can be sent, without trusting to the post- mark upon the envelope. A single letter to a public officer should never refer to more than a single matter of business, but as many separate letters as can ba juit therein may be enclosed in one envelope, if all are intended for the .same officer. For the purpose of indicating in a general way the pulilic officer to whom a letter upon any particular suliject may properly be addressed, the following statement of the distribution of business amongst the 2 2 GENERAL INFORMATION. several heads of executive departments at the scat of government is furnished : The Secretary of State has charge of the intercourse between tlie United States and foreign nations, the issuing of passports, and the publication and sale to tl:e public of the laws enacted by the Congress.

The foregoing lists of the inspection and railway mail service are approximations to the present number and pay, but the tendency is towards steady growth in both, and there are always considerable numbers of so-called temporary agents and clerks in service. There are at present some 130 local mail agents, with salaries from ^100 to $1,800 per year, and a larger number of mail route messen- gers, with salaries from $100 to $880 per year, Great numbers of the 5,600 or 5,700 mail contracts might properly be classed under the head of patronage of the Department.

The Democrats of the United States, in convention assembled, declare : — First — We pledge ourselves anew to the constitutional doctrines and traditions of the Democratic party, as illustrated by the teaching and example of a long line of Democratic statesmen and patriots, and embodied in the platform of the last National Convention of the party. Second — Opposition to centralizationism and to that dangerous spirit of encroachment which tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever be the forms of government, a real despotism. No sumptuary laws ; separation of Church and State, for the good of each ; common schools fostered and protected. Third — Home rule; honest money, consisting of gold and silver, and paper convertible to coin on demand. The strict maintenance of the public faith. State and national, and a tariff for revenue only. Fourth — The subordination of the military to the civil power, and a general and thorough reform of the civil service. Fifth — The right of a free ballot is the right preservative of all rights, and must and shall be maintained in every part of the United States. Sixth — The existing administration is the representative of con- spiracy only, and its claim of right to surround ballot boxes with troops and deputy marshals to intimidate and obstruct the electors, and the unprecedented use of the veto to maintain its corrupt and despotic power, insult the people and imperil their institutions. Seventh — The great fraud of 1876-77, by which, upon a false count of the electoral votes of two States, the candidate defeated at the polls was declared to be President, and for the first time m American history the will of the people was set aside under a threat of military violence, struck a deadly blow at our system of represen- (124). NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM, l8So. 1 25 tative government. The Democratic party, to preserve the country from the horrors of a civil war, submitted for the time, in firm and patriotic faith that the people would punish this crime in 1880. This issue precedes and dwarfs every other. It imposes a more sacred duty upon the people of the Union than was ever addressed to the conscience of a nation of freemen. Eighth — We execrate the course of this administration in making places in the civil service a reward for jiolitical crime, and demand a reform by statute which shall make it forever impossible for the defeated candidate to bribe his way to the seat of a usurper by bil- leting villains upon the people. A^inth — The resolution of Samuel J. Tilden not again to he a candidate for the exalted place to which he was elected by a major- ity of his countrymen, and from which he was excluded by the leaders of the Republican party, is received by the Democrats of the United States with .sensibility, and they declare their confidence in his wisdom, patriotism and integrity, unshaken by the assaults of a common enemy, and they further assure him that he is followed into the retirement he has chosen for himself by the sympathy and respect of his fellow citizens, who regard him as one who, by elevating the standards of public morality, and adorning and purifying the public service, merits the lasting gratitude of his country and his party. Tenth — Free .ships and a living chance for American commerce on the seas and on the land. No discrimination in favor of trans- portation lines, corporations or monopolies. jE'A'wm///— Amendment of the Burlingame treaty. No more Chinese immigration, except for travel, education and foreign com- merce, and therein carefully guarded. Twelfth — Public money and pul^lic credit for public purposes solely, and public land for actual settlers. Thirteenth — The Democratic party is the friend of labor and the laboring man, and pledges itself to protect him alike against. the cormorants and the commune. Fourteenth— Wq congratulate the country upon (he honesty and thrift of a Democratic Congress, which has reduced the public ex- penditure $40,000,000 a year; upon the continuation of prosperity at home and the national honor abroad, and above all upon the promise of such a change in the administration of the government 126 NATIOXAT, REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, l8So. .1- sliciil insure u^ ^rcnuiiiL- ami lasting i-t;rui-iii in every ik-[)arlment vi [iic [uiMic service.

TllK Reiniijiic:in ]>ariy, in Xaiional Coiiventi;)ii a.sseinl)!t d, at the end ol' twenty year.-, since the federal government was fir>t com- mitted to it> charge, Mihmiis to the people of the United States this lirief re: ort of its administration. It sujipressed a rebellion uliieii iiad armed nearlv a million of men to sidjvert the national aniiior- itv. It reconstriicied tlie union of the States, with freedom instead of slaverv as its corner-stone. It transformed 4,ODD,ODO of liiimaii beings from the likeness of things to the ranlc of citizens. It relieved Congress from the infamous work of hunting fugi'.ive slaves, and cliarged it to see that slavery does not e.\ist. It has raised the value of our pa[)er currency from thirty-eight per cent, to the par of gold. It has restored upon a solid basis payment in coin ioi- all the national obligations, and has given us a currency abso- lutely good and equal in every part of our e.'; convention su'omits for th^ir approval the following statements of the pr:ncii)les and purposes which will continue to guide and inspire its elforis : NATIONAL REPUCI.ICAN' PLATFORM, iSSo. 1 27 Fiiit — Wc .irruin tliat ilie work of ilie la^t twenty-one ycnrs lias been sucli as to coniiuend itself lu l!ie favor of llie nation, an:in.'-i tyr.iiiiiic.il TiIkI coniipt. .1 lie pio'-pciiiy which is mule [lo^sililj in llie S null l)y i s ;^rt.-.U ailvaii:a^(.-> ol -oil and ciimale/will never lie realucil iiiiiil every voler can freely ami safely sii|)|>ort any party lie pleases.

It> iniere t-. are intrusted tu the .St.\t.'s anil to the voluntary action of the people. Wh.ucver help the nation can ju-tly alVor.l, should be generously given to aid the States in supporting common schools, but it woukl be unjust to our people and dangerous to our institutions to apply any portion of the revenues of tlie nation or of the States to the support of sectarian schools. The separation of the Church an.l thj State in cverytliing relating to taxation should be absolute. On the subject of national finances my views have been so fre- quently and fully expressed that little is needed in the way of addi- tional st.U-'ment. The public debt is now so well secured, and the rate of annual interest has jjeen so r-;duced by refunding, that rigid economy in expenditures, and the faithful application of our surplus revenues to th: payment of the principal of the deljt, will tn-adually but certainly free the people from its burilens and close with honor Mie financial c'lapter of the war. At the same time the government can provide for all its ord!n;iry expenditure and discharge its sacred obligations to the soKHlvs of t!ie Union and to the widows and orphans of those who fell in its defence. The resumption of specie pavments, which the Republican party so courageously and success- fullv accomplished, has removed from the field of controversy many quetions that long and seriously di.-turbed the credit of the govern- ment and the business of the country. Our pa])er curr^-ncy is now as national as the flag, and resumption has not only made it everywhere equal to coin, but has brought into use our store of gold and silver. The circulating medium is more abundant than ever before, and we need only to maintain the ejuaiity of our dollars to insure to labor and capital a measure* of value from the use of which no one can sufTjr lo-is. The great prosjjcrity which the country is now enjoying should not be endangered by any violent ch.inges or doul.t'ul finan- cial experiments. In reference to our cu-toms laws a policy sliould be pnrsu':d wliicli will bring, revenue to the Treasury, aud will enable the iabi.>r and 132 GENERAL GARFIELD S LETTER, capital emiiloyed in our great industries to compete fairly in our own markets with the labor and capital of foreign production. We legis- late for the people of the United States, not for the whole world, and it is our glory that the American laborer is more intelligent and better paid than his foreign competitor. Our country cannot be inde- pendent unless its people, with their abundant natural resources, pos- sess the requisite skill at any time to clothe, arm and equip themselves for war, and in time of peace to produce all the necessary implements of labor. It was the manifest intention of the founders of the govern- ment to provide for the common defence, not by standing armies alone, but by raising among, the people a greater army of artisans, whose intelligence and skill should powerfully contribute to the safety and glory of the nation. Fortunately for commerce, there is no longer any formidable opposition to appropriations for the improvement of our harbors and great navigable rivers, provided that the expenditures for that purpose are strictly limited to works of national importance. The Mississsppi river with its great tributaries is of such vital impor- tance to so many millions of people that the safety of its navigation requires exceptional consideration. In order to secure ^o the nation the control of its waters, President Jefferson negotiated the purchase of a vast territory extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. The wisdom of Congress should be invoked to devise some plan by which that great river shall cease to be a terror to those who dwell upon its banks, and by which its shipping may safely carry the industrial products of 25,000,000 of people. The interests of agri- culture, which is the basis of our material prosperity, and in which seven-twelfths of our population are engaged, as well as the interest of manufactures and commerce, demand that the facilities for cheap transportation shall be increased by the use of water-courses. The material interests of this country, the traditions of its settlement and the sentiments of our people, have led the government to offer the widest hospitality to emigrants who seek our shores for new and happier homes, willing to share the burdens as well as the benefitsof our society, and intending that their posterity shall become an undistinguishable part of our population. The recent movement of the Chinese to the Pacific coast partakes but little of the qualities of such an emigration, either in its purposes or results. It is too much like an importation to be welcomed without restriction, too much like an invasion to be looked upon without solicitude. We cannot con- GENERAL GARFIELD S LETTER. 1 33 sent to allow any form of servile labor to be introduced among us under the guise of immigration. Recognizing the gravity of this sub ject, the present administration, supported by Congress, has sent to China a commission of distinguished citizens for the purpose ot securing such a modification of the existing treaty as will prevent evils likely to arise from the present situation. It is confidently believed that these diplomatic negotiations will be successful, without the loss of commercial intercourse between the two powers, which promises a great increase of reciprocal trade and the enlargement of our markets. Should these efforts fail, it would be the duty of Con- gress to mitigate the evils already felt, and prevent their increase by such restrictions as, without violence or injustice, will place upon sure foundations the peace of our communities and the freedom and the dignity of labor. The appointment of citizens to the various executive and judicial offices of the government, is perhaps the most difficult of all the duties which the Constitution has imposed upon the Executive. The con- vention wisely demands that Congress shall co-operate with the executive departments in placing the civil service on a better basis. Experience has proved that, with our frecjuent changes of administra- tion, no system of reform can be made effective and permanent with- out the aid of legislation. Appointments to the military and naval service are so regulated by law and custom as to leave but little ground f(jr complaint. It may not be wise to make similar regula- tions by law for the civil senice. But without invading the author- ity or necessary discretion of the Executive, Congress should devise a method that will determine the tenure of office, and greatly reduce the uncertainty which makes that service so uncertain and unsatisfac- tory. Without depriving any officer of his rights as a citizen, the government should require him to discharge all his official duties with intelligence, efficiency 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 rangt of any one man. The Executive should therefore seek and receive the informa- tion and assistance of those whose knowledge of the communities in which the duties are to be performed best qualifies them to aid in making the wisest choice. The doctrines announced by the Chicago Convention arc not the temporary devices of a party to attract votes and carry elections. 134 GENERAL HANCOCK's LETTER.

Governor's Island, ) New York Crrv, July 29, 1880. j Gentlemen: — I have the honor lo acknowledge the receipt of your letter of July 13, 18S0, apprising mc furmally of my nomination to the office of President of the United .Stales by the Nr.ticnal Demo- cratic Convention lately assembled in Cincinnati. I accej.t the nomination with grateful appreciation of the cunlidencc rejjosed in me. The principles enunciated by the Convention are those I have cher- ished in the past, and shall endeavor to maintain in the future. The thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments to the consti- tution of the United States, embodying die results of the war for the Union, are inviolalde. If called to the Presidency I should deem it my duty to resist with all my power any attempt to impair or evade the full force and effect of the constitution, which in every article, section and amendment, is the supreme law of the land. The con-ti- tution forms the basis of the government of the United .States. The powers granted by it to the legislative, executive and judicial depart- ments, define and limit the authority of the general government. Powers not delegated to the United States ljy the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, belong to the Slates respectively, or to the people. The general and State governments, each acting in its own sphere without trenching upon the lawful jurisdiction of the other, constitute the Union. This Union, comprising a general gov- ernment w ith general powers and State governments with State powers,. t GENERAL HANXOCK S LETTER. 1 35 for pitrpos2s local to the States, is a policy, the foundation, of \\ hi.;;i were laid in the profoundet wisilom. This is the Union our fatlKr- made, and which hasbeen so repeated abroad and so beneficent at home. Tried by blood and firj, it stands to-day a motlcl form of free popular government— a politicil syrtem which, ri.^htly administcrei, has been and will continue to be the ad- miration of the world. May we not .say nearly in the wonls of Wadiington — The unity of };;ovtrnmeiit, which coiutilr.tcs us one people, is justly dear to us ; it is the main pillar in the edifice of our real indei)unclence, the supp(jrt of our peace, safety and prosperity, and of that liberty we so highly prize, and intend at every hazard to preserve. Hut no form of government however carefully devised, no princi- ple- liowever sound, will protect the tights of the people unless its administration is faithful and efficient. It is a vit.xl principle in our system that neitlier fraud nor force must be allowed to subvert the riijhts of the p.eople. When fr.iud, violence or incompetence controls, the -I'.ol.lest constitutions and wisest laws are useless. The bayonet is not a fit instrument for collecting tlie votes of freemen. It is only by a full vote, free ballot, and fair count, tliat the people can ruh in fact, as required by the theory of our government. Take this foundation away and the whole structure falls. Tuldic office is a trust, not a bounty bestowed upon the holder; no inc> mpetcnt or dishonest pcr-ons should ever be intrusted with it, or if appointed, they should be promptly ejected. The basis of a sub- stantial, ].ractic-nl civil service reform must lir^t be established by the people in filling the elective ofikes; if they fix a high standard of qualifications for office and sternly reject the corrujit and incompetent, the result will be decisive in governing the action of the servants whom ihey intrust with appointing power. The war for the Union was successfully closed more than fifteen years ago. All classes of our people mu-t share alike in the blessings of the Union, and are equally concerned in its perpetuity and in the proper administration of pulilic affairs. We are in a state of profound peace. Henceforth let it be our purpose to cultivate sentiments of friendship, and not of animosity, among our fellow citizens. Oi:r material interests, varied and progressive, demand our constant and united efforts. A sedulous and scrupulous care of the public credit, together w ith a wi^e and economical managemcnl of our gov- 136 ANALYSIS OF THE PLATFORMS. ernmental expenditures, should be maintained in order that labor may be lightly burdened, and that all persons may be protected in their right to the fruits of their own industiy. The time has come to enjoy the substantial benefits of reconciliation. As one people we have common interests. Let us encourage the harmony and generous rivalry among our own industries which will revive our languishing merchant marine, extend our commerce with foreign nations, assist our merchants, manufacturers and producers to develop our vast nat- ural resources, and increase the prosperity and happiness of our people. If elected I shall, vi^ith the Divine favor, labor with what ability I possess to discharge my duties with fidelity, according to my convic- tions, and shall take care to protect and defend the Union, and to see that the laws be faithfully and equally executed in all parts of the country alike. I will assume the responsibility, fully sensible of the fact that to administer rightly the functions of government is to dis- charge the most sacred duty that can devolve upon an American citizen. I am, very respectfully, yours, WiNFiELD S. Hancock. To the Hon. John W. Stevenson, President of the Convention ; Hon. John P.

Each poli'ical party maintains a national committee (composed of one member from each Stale and Territory) with headquarters at New York during the campaign. The duties of this committee are to raise funds for the campaign by solicitation of wealthy individ- uals or corporations whose sympathies or interests are with the party; to apportion those fands among the several objects and local- ities connected with the campaign; to jiovide, maintain and dis- tribute political orators ; to circulate pamphlets of political ini'urma- 144 CONDUCTING PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS. tion, argument, or invocation; to furnish information, advice and suggestion to the party press; to collect and disseminate news of the States and prospects of the canvass, and, generally, to overlook and manage the national interests of the party. Communications addressed as follows : " To the Secretary of the Democratic National Committee," or, "To the Secretary of the Republican National Committee," at '• New York City," will reach their proper destination and secure proper attention. Each party maintains at Washington a " Congressional Campaign Committee," whose functions are to levy and collect assessments upon the salaries or emoluments of such federal officers or employ- ees as are under control' of the party; to distribute copies of approved speeches made in Congress, orations at political meetings, compilations of "facts" interesting to voters, or comparative exhibits of the "record" of the rival parties upon leading questions, in close or doubtful congressional districts, and, incidentally, to aid the national committee in its work in the several States. Commu- nications addressed as follows : "To the Secretary of the Demo- cratic Congressional Campaign Committee," or, " To the Secretary of the Republican Congressional Executive Committee," at "Wash- ington, D. C," will reach their proper destination and receive their proper attention. Each party maintains in each State a "State Central Committee," with headquarters at the State capital, or the chief commercial city. The duty of this committee is to advise the national committee of the prospects and needs of the campaign in the several parts of the State; to collect funds from sources not reached or approached by the national committee ; to receive, allot, and evoke popular enthu- siasm for the orators sent by the national committee ; to utilize the local party speakers in supplementing the work of the national orators; to arrange popular processions, meetings and barbecues; to organize local clubs and uniformed bodies for street parades ; to advise and inform the local party press, and generally to serve and preserve the local party interests in all allowable ways. Communi- cations should be addressed as follows: "To the Chairman of the Democratic [or "Republican"] State Committee;" and if the head- quarters be not certainly known, it should be directed to both the State capital and the chief commercial town, so that the post office may send it from one to the other in search of its proper destination. LEADING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. 1 45 Persons desirous of federal employment, who are physically and intellectually qualified for the kind or class of employment they desire, and who have a fair amount of political or social inllucnce at command, may materially strengthen their claims if they can succeed in getting themselves known to the State, Campaign, or National committee as a zealous and useful worker for the party. The collec- tion of funds, the getting-up of clubs and public demonstrations, the winning over of known political opponents among the voters, the listing of every doubtful voter, so that each one may be personally reached by influence, oral argument, and suitable printed matter, the detection and pointing out of opportunities or obstacles in townships or other small districts, the scrutiny of registration lists, the bringing up of absent voters to the polls, and the challenging of illegal voters, are among the services capable of being performed by almost any aspirant for public office, and, if well performed, certain to be appre- ciated in the proper quarters.
