To The " " State Dsuoerane Committee.
GrsrIrsrs: / make no apology for critcising Den,
ocrats, since am myself Democrat. Nay, almoa
can say, If any other man tbinketh that be hsia
whereof he might trust in Democracy, al more
For have spent much of my life in inculoatng Is.
Moreover my Democracy is not half way but sp ex-
IRENE one-s Democracy broad as mankind and 80
jealous OF Government ssto allow ts presence toty
not in the Church but not In the Schoolnowhere Inv
deed; save in the legitimate Governmental oncsS
protecting persons and property. That mine is the esn.
liae Democracy is manifested by the little patience
which the current and spurious Democracy has with
it. Nor need make an apology for praising Repab-
hcans, since have never been one Of .hem. And
need net fear that anything that sha cay Of DEM
ocras OF Republicans will expose me to the ehGgsO Os
Office seeking, since am one OF the few who s tho
expense Of being csled very eccentric and very bOib,
sternly refuse to 20 in the ways which lead to Office.
The proposition made TO you few days ago BY tho
New-Yotk State Republican Committee was both wse
and msgnaimous IL was wise in view Of the vsb.s
of the country. II was msgnanmous because coming
from the stronger to the weaker party. regret thzt

there more reason than ever To fear the result OF ne
