cratic Conference Committee:
SIR-I have the honor to acknOwl-
edge the receipt of your communication
received at $50 p. NJ, and in reply we
respectfully insist upon the name of
james Graham for Auditor. He is the
only nominee Of the Liberal COnven-
ton of August ), now left on Il list of
candidates for State offices. Whilst
we have accepted three of yOur Origi-
nal ticket, a fair spirit of compromise
would seem to suggest that we be not
driven TO q further mutilatiOn of the
ticket as sanctioned by the Liberal Con-
ventiOn.
Mr.. Hugh J. Cambell, our nominee
for the First Congressional District, is
the representation of n Convention
which contributes q large accession of
strength to our joint interests, but we
propose that the nomination for Con-
grcSs for the First District he held
over for further adjustment between
our respective State Central Commit
tees, the Liberal party ~reserying the
right to present the name hereafter.

servant, F. II. HATCH,
