ave meet at II time when unusual inter
est is felt in the action of nominating con-
ventions. The disturbed state Of the finances
heavy burden of taxation, frequent exposure

placed before them As candidates for office
Party ties will not hold voters to the sup
port of any who arc not felt to be fi.tet
| for public stations by their integrity anC
capacity. The real object of this con

town elections also prove that great number;
of those who have hitherto acted with tht
| Republicans now intend to act with us, i

support. In large number o: the town:
and counties OF this State there are Liberal
| Republicans who cannot go with the Ad'

candidates, having regard only to their tit
ness and strength, and the result was gail
of nearly one hundred towns and the contro
Of number Of counties heretofore opposed

sense and patriotism, ana We shall not onl,
carry the counties OF New York, and thu
! gain political strength in all its sections, bu
we shall also put our greet State i'll its right
ful p0sitiOn--.th OF the stronghold of thos'

its ancient simplicity.
"As this is State and local election, vi
are relieved from the discussion of man.
subjects with regard 10 which there ar
honest differences OF opinion. Our grca
absorbing duty is to carry our State and t
give it better administration, and more fai

end we must put In nomination 4 ticke
made up of men with records so clear, char
acters 90 pure, and capacity so undoubted
that we shall feel when our work is don
tthat it will be elected, because we shall know
that it ought to be elected. ,.a
/ "If we do this those citizens who gave u
local victories last spring will continue t
act with Us, and will give us victory in tn
State this autumn. Gentlemen, bear III min'
