our party by plundering the people
whom they were bound to protect and
serve. Applause. And citizens

He was selected as Governor of
our State. He came into the Office
on the 1st day Of January, 1875.
The direct taxes taken from our own
tax ridden people in the State Of New
York were over fifteen millions in the
tax levy of 1874. Applause. He
has been in Office eighteen months,
and the tax levy for the State of New
York for the State Treasury in this
year, 1876; is but eight millions Of
dollars. [Cheers.] Ifyou go among
our farming people, among our men
who find business coming down and
their produce bringing low prices,

the man who has reduced taxation
in the State of New York one-ha lf in
eighteen months applause and you
J will hear the honest men throughout
; the country say that they want the
man who will do at Washington what
has been done in the State of New
: York. Cheers. Now, do not mis-

: of New York who, if they had had
! the chance to have been elected and

the frauds in our State administra-

Samuel J. Tilden, loud and continu-
ed cheers, but it so happened that
the great Democratic party of the
{ State Of New York reaped this great
benefit for our people, and this great
honor for our party, because they
Il elected Samuel J. Tilden. When
they found in the State of New York
he had been active in reforming
!, abuses it so happened that he was
i the man who by his measures
