ADDRESS.
WhS Electors Of The City Of Nelo York
The Delegates chosen by you in your several
Wards to assemble in Convention and nominate
candidates to be supported at the ensuing State
Election, having discharged that duty. desire to
render you account of their stewardship and thus
terminate their labors.
The duties OF Wing Nominating Committee
are greatly increased and complicated by the too
general dislike OF our most capable citizens to be
nominated and supported for Official, and especially
Legislative. stations Very often such Committee
is censured for not presenting individuals OF the
highest capacity and popularity when in fact the
very men designated and intended have been
urgently solicited to accept nominations and are

Wing Cause had need of them Where contrary
determination has been persisted in. reasons which
we were obliged to consider satisfactory were
given The candidates selected by are therefore
emphaiically the men of our choice, whom We be
heve eminenily worthy OF your suilrages and ca
psbe of dscharging the duties for which they are
designated. We submit for your approval the
of
