JosrPH BLUST, esq, from the Committee on Ar

REMARKS OF MIR. BLUNT.
FElLow-ciTIzENs: We have assembled here Tins
evening persons heretofore entertaining opinions
somewhat different, not perhaps, much that they
disagreed as to the truth of the propositions which the
two divisions OF the opposition to the Democratic party
in this city have thought fit to give prominence TO, but
the two parties gave different degree OF prominence
10 their own particular tenets There are lew among
the Republicans that al any time heseted TO have ail
abuses in the naturalization OF foreign citizens, or III
the voting at the polls Temeded by proper eglslatl0n.
There are few Of the Americans that ever lent them
selves to any unconstitutional mode OF extending
Slavery. So each portion OF those respective parties,
giving undue prominence 10 the enets 10 which they
have attached themselves, have suffered themselves
TO be diverted and used to give effect to the objects OF
the common enemy. On the one SIDE We do moi think
speaking for the kepubhcans-that we could deter
mine with what ceremony or TO what extent The Cec
tribes should be admitted to the privileges o American
citizens when the Capitol IN the possession of
barbarans and Senators were stricken down in their
senatorial chairs by brutal and barbarc violence.
JAppIsuse1 On the other side citizens, seeing the
that very thing upon which our Government, power
and entire success depends expressed through the
means Of voting, should be maintained by proper lcgs-
lation. We do hope, however, that those OF them
who are now here followed by fellow citizens sym
patbizing with them will give effect to Their sentl.
ments by uniting together so a5 to have concert oi
action
will now read the resolutions which the Committee
on Arrangements have instructed me to otiei.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The electors of the City and County Of New ork,
assembled pursuant to public notice at the cooper In
stute the 9th day Of September, 1913, DO hereby
ResOlre:
l. That though we disagree on some points, we see
no reason why the aut-Buchanan electors OF tins city

and defeat their common adversary.
.. That opposed To the policy aud measures
Of the present National Administration, especially tots
persistent efforts to force the LecomptOn Constitution
people who were well known To detest ana aOho
II. .
g. That the heroic people Of Kansas, for the iorti
tude with which they have endured oppression, for
the spirit manifested in resisting violence, and the
magnanimy shown in rejecting the English bnbe art
Justly entitled to the thanks of the whole country for
exhibiting to the whole world signal proof that the
love Of freedom and hatred Of tyranny that character
lied our fathers have not become extinct.
a. That the enormous and still increasing corruption
Of our eecous, and the alarming growth aud extent
of Illegal voting call loudly for prompt and efficient
cOuneraCtOn, and We demand AL oiiloal registration
OF the of legal voters IN each election district a.
tle obvious and necessary remedy.
s. That the Constitutional provision that requires
an emigrau from sister State to reside year among
before he vote Comlnonds tseh TO on judgment
u salutary and needed check upon the importation
voters into closely divided and doubtful States nom
those that are not 80; and think that prucple,
herein affirmed requires that adopted citizen should
be naturazed one year before he L. entitled to vote
G. That the increase oi paup rs and criminals oi Tor
eign birth in this city requires Tie pr0m(t oiac'lnoh'
of n law preventing the deportation by Foreign ooN-
ernments of paupers and convcis to tins country.
Z, That an Administration that cNpcnus at Ndet
ssQ 600 Ot0 per aHnuu, with an ucoln, oi iess thah
$50ONa 000 Yet makes effort to reduce the one nor
increase the other is essentially bankrupt, ana ought

& That relyng npon the good effects to result trom
a union of all opponents Of the National Admnistfa
lion we earnestly urge the Republican, American an"
other organized parties, t. unite Their efforts IN te
approaching election upon the same Candidates as 'ho
only certain way 10 success.
