electors Of the city aud county Of New York of which

the nominations had been md and stated that the duty
which devolved upon them they had endeavored faith
fully 70 discharge They had assumed that in this great
popular movement tho voice Of the people Of the city
New York Enthusiastically demanded that during the pre-
sent struggle all mere party interests must and shall be
silenced and set aside that long the question

neutral ground upon which party issues and party pre-
ferences can find place that while many OF follow
citizens have taken UP for the defence of the

the field is cheerful and unsesh surrender of all par-
san preferences for the sake Of the great object

have been selected from the several political parties
after conference with other nominating conventions
upon the basis Of their personal integrity and capacity
OF their tried devotion to the Union aud the constitution
and OF their fitness to represent before the people tho
great principle involved In the present crise. We
appeal to all our fellow citizens 70 rally their support
TO discard all party ties and by earnest organized and
untirng effort to secure the election Of the peoples
ticket by an overwhelming majority. There are many
considerations relating to State and local interests
which might properly be urged In behalf Of united
movement aiming as this does to elevate the standard
Of qualifications for places Of trust to correct existing
abuses growing out Of bad legislation and secure the
services OF good men in public Office. These should
be lost sight or and they enter into the grounds Of
present appeal We insist upon honesty In every depart
meht OF the government-economy Ia public expcnd,-
ture-rsduction OF public burdens and strict accounta-
bty OF public servants But the paramount and con.
trolling motive springs from the peril Of free ms
tions and that regard to the safety of the republic which,
In popular government should be the supreme law OF
individuals well OF national action This regard can
now be tested by tho support of candidacy representing
ms simple issue-govcrnment against rebellion. The
right OF free suffrage always Of inetmabe value
never invested with such dignity this moment when
to be exercised not as tho organ Of individual pre-
ferences or political opinions but In defence Of all tho
most sacred rights and interests Of human freedom
