In that letter written at Albany you express sn
opinion that the Wing msmbers OF the Legialasars

there many coed and true Wings in both
Houses OF the Leg Giatute, who have been made 50
believe, and there are others VINO pretend TO think,
that if should be elected to till that very respon-
sibls trust | would not give General Tag lor's ad.

auy beuefcent mesHuIe, Otherwise than through
Wing standardization and the Wing party. My
support OF Wing administration does not depend,
therefore, Oh my being in public life or in private
life. The Donors and wealth OF world could not
aeduce nee from the support Of the administration
which The W big party have called INTO power IN
le.G indeed they Ih smgelges should frat Rbsolye
ME from Tbs obligation to auetan il. The State OF
