To the Electors of the City OF Brooklyn:
FeLlow CrrzExS-lt is known 10 you that
have been nominated 10 the office OF Mayor OF the
City OF Brooklyn By the Wing party, and that !
have accepted the nomination. My principles are
known To many but 1t seems necessary for me 10
state them plainly Tor the satisfaction ot a-espe-
caliy as there is reason to fear that mistakes and
Misrepresentation may otherwise obtain credit IN
! some districts OF the City.
! The general policy eft the State and Nation Is one
thing the local interests oil the City OF Brooklyn is
another | have long thought that these lnieresi-
ought not 10 be sacrificed sighted and that II IS
nigh time for all good citizens 10 move together fol
the City and lis welfare.
This oush, TO be the motto and the principle, OF
whoever is elected Chief Magistrat OF Brooklyn
or any other city in the State or the Nation Other

consideration. Taese are my views, as well as
theirs by whom was put IN nomination. II is the

proceed more persons would come 10 reside here
labor and trade would thrive and security 10 per

II is the very way TO establish the order the health
the character and the internal prosperity OF ou
young and noble city. 1t is the way TO irersm dis
orders, winch 1t were not SO easy 10 cure; anc

in the world.
