express my sincere appreciation of tho
loyal and cordial support which is be
ing given tho state ticket by those who
have heretofore differed with me »n re*
gdid t> the ‘atcr-pirry affairs* With
entire unanimity, those wno have boon
regarded as the especial friends of tho
national administration have earnestly
wheeled Into line, and are performing
valiant service $n behalf of the cause.
They appreciate the fact that it is an
absolute neco&vty for a political party
to win victories m order to carry out
its remedial measures.
“In so far the Lex*)\v coramltteo in
New York are nonestly and impartially
endeavoring to discover police abuses,

iblilv expend in aid of my candidacy,
no banking house $u I»ndon «>r New
York to draw upon, no immense cor
porate Influence i> Invoke, and no fe
rret organizations to promote my in
terests in the dirk. 1 simply represent
the principles to which the Democratic
party stand* committed before the
country, and upon their merits aloio
I must stand or fill.”
