that while States do and will forever differ on such SUD

Resoirtd, That having expressed our appreciation of
the holding National Convention, appointed dele
gates The same and thereby assumed The obligation
Of fidelity and support 10 the candidate of its nonlna
ton, we would in The and behalf Of the unan
nous Democracy of the State of New York recommend
our fsow-citizen MARTIN VAN buren, to the
consideration of that Convention He first
choice for President, and has been made So not less
by his long and tried and approved services in public
life and his admitted qualifications than by the manner
OF that defeat which he suffered in the overthrow of
our party in 1910 Tha, was our defeat as party and
not his failure as candidate and We believe that
his conduct IN that me morable deuson, the elevated
hrmness which he evinced The hour of trial. and his
calm unclouded confidence in the ultimate rectude Of
the people as he retired from Office have gained for him
higher place IN the popular estimation of the country
than any success could have done. We know that he
IS now more popular in his native State than he
was before, and we think that the causes must
have operated in other States for the same result
nat 70 US there seems clear and open conviction,
that II the Democracy Of the Union do but do their
duty IN lo44, they will gain glorious victory, and
ieel that that victory will be TO every Democrat in the
country, double triumph, if the same and Inc
same candidate which were put down in 1910, by deu-
sion and lmposture, should by "the sober second
thought of an intelligent and patriotic people, be made
triumphant in 1914
Rssotced, That do hereby direct and instruct the
delegates whom We appoint to the National De mocra-
tic Convention, to present MARTIN VAN buren,
of New FORK % candidate for nomination for the
Presidency of the United States by that Convention
and we farther do direct and the said delegates
individually and unledy, to advocate and suppo, his
nominaton and 10 use all honorable and proper
to accomplish that rerult, and thus to fulfil their duty
