in the course Of his speech in response

id:
notice tho most radical papers in
! Albany and New York are asking,
"What will they DO with it W-that
is, with the victory. am hardly dis
posed to tell them that just yet. pre-
fer to give them little time to digest
tho returns, and when these uro fully
digestcd, We propose to give them 50 mo
information as to what we will do with
it. In my observations | have found
that knowledge suddenly acquired is
never very profitable. Bat ! will tell
them, in general terms, ono or two
things we propose to do. Wo propose
to make the Legislature Of tho State
Of New York honest; and that is what
they have not done in some time. We
propose to use the Legislature for Che
purpoae Of promoting tho interests of
the mass Of tho people, and not the
interests of the few which the radi-
Gals have not done in a long time. The
Evcning Journal has stated that for
many years there have been few
men in the republican Legislatures
who could be bought. Wo will show
them that in n democratic Legislature
there will DO none Of that kind. We
propose to give to the people of the
Statc Of New York, all over, The right
of se!f-governmcnt. We propose to
abolish such laws as infringe upon tho
rights Of localities and secure to them
the ri ht to govern themselves. We
will not abolish such laws aud give
the people something worse, but will
give them better laws. We propose to
make the State Of Now York aud the
government Of its branches thorough

and tolerant; we will recognize hon.
