ROCHESTER, Oct. %, 1914
The Liberty party have to day had 4 mass Con
yention in the Locoi5co cabin in this city, Mr.. Dir
uey was present and addressed them for two or
three hours, principally in defence of himself in
regard 10 his nomination by the Locofoco5 Of Sag
NAV.
He explicitly ovowed his knowledge of the in.
tcnton OF the Locos to nomlnlte hin before he
left Saginaw, and said he expected to be a candi.
date before their Convention, but did not much cx-
pect to be noninated for he thought the leaders
would try to prerem it He said he told them he
would serve if elected, and went on to defend the
course he had taken in relation to his nomination.
In answer TO a question by one of the AUDIENCE
" Here you nominated by The regular nominating
coarention Of The party?' Mr.. Birney replied Ger
rAINLY no doubt Of It." He said he was nominated
by vote of II to g.
He openly and distinctly avowed his preference
for POlh ! as less dangerous to the interests of
I" liberty" than the election Of Mr.. Clay. He de-
clared that the subject of annexation was an issue
in this contest and yet this same man. protesting to
view the project Of annexation with adherence,
seeks to draw from the support of Henry Clay ma
ny aboltionsts who would otherwise nave support
ed him for his opposition to annexation, and thus
indirectly all in the election of candidate to car
ry that measure. Yours truly.
