The address to tho people adopted by
the Committee OF Seventy to-day reCites
the object for which the organization was
created, and declares that their delibera-

have served few years pass in the
State Legislature, and secure In local
politics a healthy sentiment of reform.
Both parties have suffered by the corrupt
ing influence of their leading men. Hon.
est men OF both parties should aid in the
work Of purifaction in this city. The
political ascendancy OF one party for so
long time does not make II strange that

newspapers, deGed, justice, violated the

upon the city. Honest men must be sent

their apathy and aid in the conflict
against the political villainy now existing.
The people Of this State have never be-

themselves. The wiles Of political thieves
affect that reformation which the times
too much demand.
