'' We do not belong 10 this association, and
. Enow nothing OF il except from common re-

that public opinion does Justice 10 the views and

We incline TO the opinion that a stern necessity
called II into existence, and requires its coutin
uauce.
1t will be readily admitted that all secret So

and especially political organizations whose

NEw YoFK, Friday, Sept. 10, 1896.
Ny DEAR SIR You vii! see BY the result
Of the Maine election that really we do not
know our own strength in the North, for Ham
liz biH.Sef did not claim over 5000 majority,
and my own opinion was that we could get
about 10000. You may set down New York
at $4,000, and Pennsylvania al least $4,000,
Massachusetts, at least $4,000. have not seen
one honest Democrat since the result IN Maine,
but gives Up all chance tor Buchanan, aad they
are leaving the Democratic party by Thousands
The entire American vote in PENNSYLVANIA
will go with the Republican party. Bets are
freely offered, giving 10000 majority IN that
State, and no one reckless enough to take
them.
While it is important for your State that it
should 90 with the Republican party, il cannot
effect the result. But you should fail to en-
doFse the Railroad movement, it would do much
to prevent liberal appropriations for that OBJ
ject. Por that reason, | would say 10 YOU, who
have 50 large an interest in California, let it
not be said she was untrue TO herself Yon
must believe with me that no State in the u
MON has as much at stake in the result as Cali
iornia.
Yours, Mp. BANKS.

SIR - have received numerous commune
cations from sources in California entitled to
high regard, in reference 10 the proposed Pacii-
lc Railroad. As il would bp impossible for me
TO answer them all, I deem it most proper and
respectful to address YOU general answer in
your official capacity. In performing this duty
10 the citizens Of California, act in perfect
consistency with the self imposed restrictions,
contained in my letter accepting the uomna-
ton for the Presidency, not to answer interro-
cations raising new and different issues from
those presented by the Cincinnati Convention,
because that Convention has Itself adopted a
resolution in favor Of the great work.
then desire TO state, briefly, that concurring
with the Convention, am decidedly favorable
to the construction OF the Pacific Railroad and
] derive the authority to do this from the con-
sttutional power ''to declare war; and The con-
stlutional Guty 10 "repel invaSions." In my
judgment, Congress possesses the same power to
make appropriations for the construction Of this
road, strictly for the purpose Of national defence,
that it has TO erect fortfcaiions at the month Of
San Francisco. Indeed, the nrcesSitY, With a
view TO rpp@l foreign invasion from California,
is as great in the one case as in tie othrr,--
Neither will there be danger from The prete-
dent, for it is almost Impossible to conceive that
any case attended bY such extraordinary and
unprecedented circumstances can ever again oc-
cur in onr history.
