GENTLEMEN have received your inyita ton address
Friday evening" and to participate with you in
ing State Understanding the ticket which last
nominated at the late Syracuse convention Although it
must be known to you that not in the habit of ad
dressing political assemblies candor requires me to add
that do not intend in any form support the ticket As
lover of honesty in politics. we'll in other things
and Of good order in society cannot approve Of nomna
tons brought about by fraud and violence Those who in
roduced convcts and DULLES into conventions for the
purpose Of controlling expect that their
proceedings will be sanctioned by me, whatever course
may be pursued by others.

works; and after the shameless breach which we have

Government, in conformity with the principles announced
in the Baltimore platform and his inaugural address, viii

You say Of the State administration" that it must
be sustained" am at loss to know what you intend
to do by way of uphodng the State officers for they
have conducted public affairs for the past few year,
that not Of them with the exception Of Mr. Matthew
much rs mentioned for q nomination in either
branch OF the Convention. The only way in which you
sustain them is by perpetuatng their policy in rela
ton 70 the canals and in my judgment nothing could be
injurious TO the best interests Of the city and State
OF New York.
