around upon this audience and see the familiar
aces, and while your kind greeting comes from you
feeling that am indeed in the house OF my friends.
| Applause One year ago you did me the honor
| 70 select me az your standard bearer In the
state, and on that occasion we were defeated,
| not by the honest expression OF the ballot
| but by. degree of perjury and corruption and
fraud that s8ddened every true lover OF his coun-
try, az that leads him 10 wonder when these things
viii end On .his subject the question arises whether
the great state OF New York il TO be governed by the
direct It's interests or whether frauds tho most stu
pendous ever perpetrated upon people, shall over
ride and render nug3lory the expression OF the INTEL
lgent majority OF the people OF the state. For my
| own part, have aith THAI ii some way or other
not yet pointed out tlls great evil viii lie ayerted

right 1t ls 10 rule, shall rule and sway
| for the good OF all tho dc3@neJ OF thus State.

| ton that our friends In the city OF New York have
| resolved hereafter that instead OF spending and
| exnaustng their energies IN combating with each
other, instead OF condnng themselves 10 mere
| family quaIres and internal disturbances, have
determined TO put forth their best energies aud
efforts to fight the common encmy-lapplaiseS-a ana
