be found acting shoulder and shoulder for the
nominees of this convention.
From the north 10 the south, rom the east 10
the west, the hearts Of the democracy of New
York are burning 10 do justice to the present ad.
mnistration And that justice would be done,
by casting the vote Of New York for Lewis Cass
and Vim. q. Butler
Mr.. Sicklcs (Hunkcr) of New York, said the
delegation 10 which he belonged had come here
pledged 10 support the nominations, and though
from peculiar circumstances they had been silent
here, they would make up for that silence at the
polls, and in casting its vote, as he believed for
the nominees Of this convention. He believed
the democracy Of New York would rally as readi-
ly and as successfully around The banner of the
Union, as they did in 1914.
