in whom the whole community will recognize Whig re-
nowned for courage fidelity eoquence and high principle,
worthy of all the and emneny capable Of all the
duties Of the office Of Chief Magistrate OF the greatest city
Of the New World.
For such man. who In honesty energy and knowledge
Of duty be by denied be at least equal to any
previous candidate for the Office demand the votes OF
all sincerely protesting themselves Wings and WITH them
the votes OF all who truly seek the establishment OF just
vigorous and economical city government, vSiant po
municDll affairs the prevention
Of obbng and corruption the preservation OF the health
and peace the community the maintenance oil law and
order, the exclusion OF religious controversies from poll
tics and finally the retrieva and ultimate success OF that
great National whose claims on us as on our ass1c
throughout the State and the Union, can only be
strengthened by defeat.
With this brief and simple presentation Of these practi
cal nconestibe truths the Convention might be content
in reporting their action 10 those who commissioned the
N the old Whig party of New-York uutcd on
the ground OF their faith But the fatal divisions Of
the last eighteen months have forced upon our knowledge
the melancholy fact that the Wings of this City, before
united in purpose tremendously energetic In acton so
honorable wise and justly proud
ceeat have brought dissenson among themselves, ruin
the nation, and destruction TO the hopes of the aye by
the attempted Introduction Of novel; eNtrnneous, local is

In the spring OF 1914, tho Native American party
seuted themselves with candidates for every office Ut the
Charter Election. To the original Joco-Foco nucleus Of
that party half of the Wing had then annexed them
selves animated by the hope of securing efficient reform
in the City Government under the administration of
Common Council entirely new. and proicssedy ignorant
alike Of general politics and City affairs.
The Wings the Election brought forward lis: Of
candidates, against whose competency and integrity no
breathcd murmur. To those candidates vote OF
more than 900 secured until within twentyiour
hours ohe Election. But between the rising and the set
ting the Election day the adherence of Loco Foco
ism and the dread leaving the City Government another
year to the painful experience oLoccFoco corruption and
incapacty made tho instrument of transferring to the
Native ticket the 5000 Wing votes which elected it
sacrificing the Interests the State and the Nation the
peace OF the world and the liberties of large portion OF
the human race for cectoneerng promise of clean
advantages of the exclusion from office of all who had

The result of our Charter Election, thus produced c

om the irritation created by repeated riots collected such
force that by coalition with the Wings In October it cf
