To 1hc Conservative Voters Of Rich.
anOpG.

The State Conservative Committee fee
impeled by the deep Importance not to the
city only. but to the whole State. of the
approaching election to addressa few words
Of counsel and cXhortation 10 the Conscr.
vative party. That will not be State vic.
tory which leaves the metropolis in Radical
hands and its representation in Congress in
its present condition of shame and disgrace
The eyes Of whole people are upon us,
who feel that our political fate and theirs
are one who will bow their hearts in sor.
row ut our defeat and oXul: with exceeding
Joy in our success. But few hours
are left for the important work before Us:
but with our decided registered majority il
can he done well and successfully, if. put.
ting behind us all jcalousics, rivalricS, and
distractions, we work together like brot hers,
cordially and earnestly. in support of the
sound Conservative ticket which has been
nominated by the City Central Committee
Some objections to names on that ticket.
and preferences for others which do not
appear on it, have been expressed, and
some have been heard to question the al-
thority under which it was nominated
There are very short and conclusive an.
swerS, we think, to such objections. Sup.
pose the ticket does not achieve the impoS-
s!bility Of pleasing everybody, is that q
reason why Porter, and smith. and Chand-
Ter, and people like them, should rule over
Us, and is it not certain that every voter
who fails now to vote Cor the Conservative
ticket (it being too late to frame new one)
gives half vote for the other: If there
were no enemy in the field contestinc
with Ii, every inch of ground, it
might be safe TO indulge in such criticism
hut i'll our circumstances il were madness
10 cNpcnd III contests among ourselves for
ofhcc the energy, concentration, and con-
cert which are absolutely essential i'm the
hrlct time left to secure Radical defeat. AS
TO the question of authority, there is no
room for it, il the rules prescribed bv the
state Committee for orr organization go
for anything, for the action of the City
Committee conforms with them. BY our
circular No. > committee composed of
members elected from each ward of Il city
Is charged with the general sllpcrintenU-
cncc and control of the business of rc"i>tra-
tion and election, aud Of the interests of the
Conservative party" This committee was
50 appointed. and proceeded in pursuance
of its duty TO "thc interests of the Con-
scrvative party" to make nominations and
these, from 4 commcndahlc regard for the
public welfare on the part Of the commit
tee, were submitted tor approval To tie
people in ward meetings, and were ljy them
apiiONcu- W nat more 10 we want !. Let
Us all 90 to work. and give the ticket :.
warm, generous, and manly support.
From all parts OF the district we have the
most cheering news Of Ordway's PROSPECTS.
II is believed by those best acquainted with
the state of opinion and the state of parties
in the district, that it rests with the Con-
>crvatlrcS of the city TO decide the election
in his favor. He is candidate alto
gcthcr worthy OF our confidence and
Suprort--onc who, il elected, will repre-
sent Us in Washington with dignity and
effect. Thoroughly Identified with us in
feeling and interest, be has worked zeal
oUSiy and efficiently rs Il member Of our
executive organization ana t0r his public
spirit and intelligent appreciation Of pubic
Interests, and ht> mo&c>t private virtue, is
esteemed anG respected hy I'LL who know
him. while the opposite OF all these quail
tiratjonS has sunk his opponent TO tn"
of each i'll this community detine- and marks
the distinction made by Conservatives be-
tween the gentleman Of moi itHern birth and
tie carpet-baJger.
surely little need be said of the vital ne
cc>>itv Of supporting the municipal ticket.
I hnk, that last spring this Radical party
were very near putting .felon in our may
oIalty, and that only the retributive hand
Of Justice has arrested the repetition Of that
experiment. Who will take his place at this
writing seems not clearly known but we
must make AL things safe by putting in the
gallant Kelley and his worthy associates.
Go 10 work, then, and let TUESDAYS sun
20 down on Il glorious Conservative victory.
K. /. DANIEL, Chairman.
