any form- til porvile labor, -w hether at

nounce the competition of contract la
bor, whether from Kurope or Asia, as an.
onence against the (pint of American
institutions; and we pledge ourselves to
sustain the present law restricting Chi
nese immigration, and to provide such
further legislation as ia necessary to
carry out its purposes.
Reform of the civil service, auspici
ously begun under a republican adminis
tration, should be completed by a further
extension of tlie relorm system already
established by law, to all grades of the
service to which it is applicable. The
spirit and purposd of reform should be
observed in all executive appointments,
and all laws at variance with the 'object
of existing relorm, legislation should lie
aljolished, to the end that the 'dangeis
to'' free institutions which lurk in the
power of official patronage may be wisely
and effectively avoided.
The public lands are a heritage of the
