REMARKS OF HOMER NELSON.
Mr.. HoMER NELSON was next introduced, and
briefly referred 10 the trIumphs already sustained
by the democratic party IN this state. He dllated
upon the corruption which characterized the admin
the faithful performance oi the promises made by
the democratic champions. The latter had displayed
both capacity and integrity; but The united energies
OF the people were yet required. The speaker then
referred TO the policy adopted regarding the canals,
administration OF the democratic cansl-board. The
welfare OF the people was now OF stake. The party
divided authority and divided responsibility

Senator elected by the democratic party. In the
list OF the pubic men OF this state they could not
pick out single man sent to represent the
people by the democratic party agaln..

and he felt confident that there would again be no
less than sixty thousand majority. tAppiause)
