ciples imposed upon every otflcer at the General
Government the duty Of abstaning from all po!iti-
cal agitation, and il any doubt upon this point had
existed. il removed bS the express command OF
President Harrison, through his Secretary of State,
10 that rnsCi.


While, therefore, during the time have held this
oifice have exercised the privilege OF freeman IN
voting independently, l have felt bound, by every
consideration OF consistency aud decorun, lnyaria-
by 10 keep alooi from all party action.


In view of these facts, well as the absence oi
ull complaint in regard 10 the performance OF my
official duties, the course which, am crediby ~
formed the Government has thought proper TO pur-
sue in Offering this CollectorshP, at various times.
10 several Others, comp-ls me, irom feelings OF self
respect TO tender Ihroug YOU al this time my resig
nation shall, therefore, consider myself virtually
absolved from any farther obligation 10 abstain from
any course Of political action may think proper 10
