hose extensive and organized schemes OF
Misrepresentation and fraud by which the

at home, that the slightest probability exists
that the electoral vote Of New York will be
given against HARRIsoN, is a pitch Of efron-

Il ALBANY, STATS OF New YokK,
/ July 20, 1910.
u The Wing Stale Committee of the State
of New York have ascertancd that s!mul-
aneous effort has been made by the Admin
! iStration members Of Congress, and by others
at Washington, to produce an impression
that this state will cast her eclectoral vote
for Mr.. Van Buren. Information has reah
cd us that letters have been received in diff
ferent and distant states from Washington,
of the same tenor, and frequently identical
in language, representing Mr.. Van Buren's
success in this state as being beyond all real
sonnble doubt. The very manner in which
Il these representations are got up and circu-
lated is of itself sufficiently indicative Of
II tbair 81, ba Iost al
ate resort of ruined party and of an Ad-
mins,rntion to its downfall, TO deceive n
people whom they have 50 long bcguilcd.
Well may they dread the consequences Of
acknowledging, or omittIng to deny the fact,
that MI Van Buren is discarded by his own
s.ate. What candidate for the Presidency
ever before dared to come before the people
with his own state against him Ii was
therefore of vast Importance that this over
whelIning fact should be denied, contradict
ell, explained away, or disposed Of in some
mode.
This We suppose to be the explanation of
this audacous conspiracy TO deceive and de-
lude their own followers; we say their fol
towers, for we cannot believe for momen,
that there is generous Wing in the Union
who would doubt the uniiring perseverance
of his political friends who have for three
years, under circum tanccs the most adverse,
maintained the conflict with their oppresscrs,
and in each year have been victorious.
II In 1897 the people of this state burst the
party shackes in which they had been Tor
ten years spell bound, and returned large
majority TO the popular branch Of the Lcgis
Iature. In 1897 when Pennsylvania fal'ered
and Ohio gave way, when the darkness Of
the political horizon cast shadows of gloom

rescue and elected a Wing Governor and
/ Wing House of Assembly. in 1896, under
circumstances Of difficulty which must be
II familiar to you, every branch Of the state
Gevcrnmcn was placed in Wing hands.
H Is il to be believed, then, that, after such
contests and such victories, the freenen Of
New York will falter and prove recreant to
their principles when the great object of oil
their efforts is within their reach ?--whrn
they are inspired with the certain knowledge
that their exertions only are needed to hurl
from power those who have so grossly abused
lhe trusts conided to them? Believe it not!
II But we are not content with these general
conclusions. We demand the evidence on
viii h can be founded the most remote ex.
pectation of n change in the sentiments of
tac people of this state. 1t is to be found
in the embarrassment Of our commerce, aud
II the dcsertion of the streets of our CONNER.
cial metropolis in stores shut up for want
OF tenants; in the countless multltudes
thrown out OF employ; or, is To be found in
tho reduction in the value Of our agricultural
products, and in the price Of labor? Are
these evidences Of pro periiy for which our
state Is TO be thankful, and express its graf.
iude by continuing IN power those who have
produced them
Il Where is The evidence Of reaction which
Is TO reduce majority of at least 1000
aDl convert it into a minority The elec-
ton OF 1859 was merely for Senators and
Asscmblymen and in those districts where
Tie whig ascendency was undispu' ed, and
there was no occasion for effort, such as the
9Th aud 9Th Senate districts, our friends con-
tented themselves with electing their can
dates without caring tor the majority. The
must moderate estimate Of our known
strength M those districts, added 10 the ac-
tual returns IN other districts, gives Us rea
majority in 1889 Of more than 1000 votes.
How is this TO be changed into a majority
on the other side The town elections
neld in the spring Of 1910 evince no fal lin z
off on the part OF tho Wings, and Oh the
contrary they and the charter elections in
The villages and cities have resulted in a
gain. Ths great contest in The city Of New
York sorcly disappointed the calculations
made at Washington, und convinced the
friends Of the administration that the "r reuc.
ton" had not then commenced.
Since these elections have been held what
has been the evidence Of the current Of pub
nc opinion? BY what party have those null
tltudes been assembled which are counted
by the acre What mean those log cabins
which sprinkle The face OF the state from one
end to the other? What is indicated by the
hundreds Of social songs in praise OF Harri
,on aud his noble deeds, which you hear at
every corner Of the streets and ut every
gathering OF the people? Are these the
marks and signs by winch to distinguish u
despondlng dlsheartened people, ready to
ore2o the fruits of four years Struggle and
wiling to kiss the rod that scourgeJ them ?

means Of information frouI every part of the
slate, both collectively and individually and
we declare in The most positive manner that
we have not heard and do not know, Of more
than six instances IN which any one hereto.
