no part in the nomination OF the electoral
ticket headed by Hon. Abram $. Hewitt,
we recognize that in voting for that ticket
they will vote for our national candidates
whose success would be jeopardized by
retaining two electoral ticketsin the State,
and we therefore accept the designations OF
the gentlemen nominated as electors by
the Shakespeare Hall Convention, and
determine that the union and harmony OF
the party will be best served by emitting
to all their vacancies.
