Hon. SAM You've being the assailant in the case
his claims 10 be more Democratic than his neigh
nor deserve the first notice. Mr.. Y. emerged IRON
obscurity in Saratoga in 1912 as rather smart
voung LAWYER. and was chosen 10 the Legislature
as Republican Member from that County Inc

made Speaker year so after, not having OBJ
tanned the regular nomination, he ran on ooiIers

Legislature became Federal. few years '''eie-
after, he got into the Canal Board, ana was aiiions

end they were obliged to refuse to the People the
right 10 choose their Presidential Electors, yet they
failed a, last Young tried 10 play between ha"R
and buzzard in this contest He belonged to the
Bucktail or regular Democratic party which was
committed by its leaders Crawford and against
the Electoral Law,-yet he TOOK gfound ioi ''0
Electoral Law and for Henry CLAY Tor fresioeh''
He tried to get the nomination OF Tue feoPie
party for Governor but failed and was taken up oy
the Bucktail or Crawford party, as one they might
elect owing 10 his equivocal attitude But tnis
faed-the People dsliked these hybrid politicians
and Clinton beat him some $4,000 Still the
old LEGISLATURE was to choose the Electors, and
Van Buren, & Co. felt sure OF putting IN the'r ora"
ford candidates But Young and the Clay ouch
rails formed coalition with the Adams or feoples
men choosing 25 Adams to Clay Electors, only
Crawford men getting in split tickets Here was
the first Adams and Clay coalition, long before
that trumped up at Washington, and 1t was this that
made Mr. Adams President by the votes OF COL
Younes section of the Buckta party
Col Young continued champion of the Ameri-
can system down to 1927, when the Jackson Van
Buren Calhoun. Benton combination had become
LOO strong TO be beaten in the approaching struggle
when he slid over to that side, and has since been
deadly enemy to Protection, to Internal Improve
men, and 10 Henry Clay. He was terribly enraged
and personally insuted at the last Baltimore Con
vention when Texas crushed Van Buren, and put
up Polk and he threatened there and afterward that
he would not support the ticket. He dad support''
however, and even headed the Electoral Ticket
which gave the votes Of New-York TO Polk Dallas
aud Texas BY the votes of their supporters he is
now State Senator.-Such is one pattern Demo
crat His innumerable votes TO charter Banks and
Manufacturing Companies are paraded at great
length by Senator Wright but we do not consider
them of much consequence. A man has a right TO
his opinions, and to change them when he sees hit
MIR. Senator WRIGHT is younger man, and has
not had time TO turn many corners as his antago-
mist, He commenced in 1924 as member OF the
Peoples party, then called FederaIists by the
Craw.orditcs fought valiently for Clinton and Ad-
ans in the vehement struggle of that year, and con-
tnued firm in the faith up to the great discontinue
of 1928 In that year. he drafted resolutions de-
nouncing jackson, Calhoun 4 Co. for their hostility
70 the American System and to Northern Free La
Dor interests, and denounced the hostility evinced
to the free and virtuous Administration of Adams
aud Clay. They being beaten however, and the
Union State Senate District, Congress District and
County having given malorilies for Jackson, MIR.
Wright as man who wished to serve the People,
decided to humble himself this expression Of their
will, and jumped square over into JAG ksonlsm OF
which he has ever since been devote and success
ful advocate--If man who will abandon his own
convictions TO follow those Of the ma ority does not
prove himself Democrat. how could he?
We shall consider while before deciding
which of these Honorable Senators has been proved
the choicer pattern of Democracy.
