Address of the New York Demo-
cratic State Central Committee.

q
The executive committee of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee met
here to-day, aud issued the following
..- ADDRESS.
The Democratic-R Republican State
Committee appeal to the citizens of New
York for endorsement of the principles
and candidates of the Utica convention.
Let it be borne in mind that vote for
this State ticket is a vote for revenue
reform, that labor may not be robbed of
its proper reward for a return to cur
rency as good as gold, that farmers may
not be plundered in incomes and Outgoes
and industries crippled for a policy of
low tolls and cheap transportation on
the canals, that the commercial suprem-
acy of the State may be maintained, and
the great water ways be preserved as
perpetual protectors of working-men
and merchants alike from tho SrHod of
grasping monOpolies. We ask the citi-
zens of the State to bear in mind that a
vote for the Radical State ticket is a
vote to endorse the presidential and con-
gressional salary grab bill to endorse
the credit mobilier fraud and the officials
who profited by division of the spoils !;
to endorse a system of finance, the disas-
trous effects of which are apparent in
the panic which is now upon US and en-
harnesses the business of the whole cOun-
try to endorse imposition in the .name
of reform upon the people of the city of
New York, in a system of government
more costly, complex and corrupt than
the ring it supplanted to endorse spec
ial and inquisitorial legislation, and the
bonding and beggary of cities, towns
and villages in the aiding of railroads
and other private corporations.
We ask the Democracy of the State,
for their encouragement, to remember
that more than forty thousand of their
number did not vote at the last State
election, and that their presence at the
polls this year will nearly wipe out the
ostensible radical majority. That party
in the city of New York is a unit in
support of the State ticket, and pledge
majority of from 10000 to 80, 900 for
the democratic republican candidate.
That party throughout the State is har-
mOnious to an unprecedented degree,
and that unexceptionable local nomina-
tions have or will be everywhere made,
and that our ranks are reinforced by
thousands of liberal republicans who are
weary of duplicity and dishonesty of the
federal and State administrations. Under
these circumstances a full democratic
vote is democratic victory. The cam
paign is short, and the State committee
rely in the main on the efficiency and
zeal of local organizations, and the vigor
and activity of the democratic press
There is little time for public discus
sions of the issues involved; little time
for detailed canvas of voterss. There
is time, however, for such Individual
and organized effort rs will bring to the
polls every lover of good government.
Since success is practicable, success is a
duty. Eet every democrat, and every
true friend of reform, build over again
his own house, and the result will be the
election of State ticket, every name on
which is that of man thoroughly COM
petent and above suspicion of reproach.
Signed for executive committee,
1888 JOHN Fox, Chairman.
