ALBANY. May 25.-Ths following sd-
dress was yesterday issued BY the Grant
Club Of this county:
To Republicans: The Grant Club,
which has the largest membership Of any
political club in the county Of Albany,
and whose guiding principles have been
fidelity to the party organization and
loyal support 10 the regular nominations
Of the Republican party. In the present
political excitsmsnt desires to call your
attention to several plain facts which
seem to point out the path Of duty and
honor to every Republican who believes
in the GREAT principles Of the party and
desires 10 see Ito organization and mo-
cess perpstuated. No one can forget
the gloom and darkness which settled
like q nightmare upon the party when
J. G. Blaine, humbled and defeated In
his own State. was powsrlsss TO give one
CLEAN OF hope or ray Of light. The great
leaders who could rally the party TO bat.
tie had been insultsd. naligned and out
RACED. and the masses were sullsn. dis
satisfied and almost hopeless. Then II
was that U. 8. Grant and Roscoe Conk-
ling. casting aside the iadigniies and
insults which had been hsapsd upon
them. guided only BY loyalty to party
organization and love for the grand old
party which hsd saved the life Of the
nation, entered the conflict and came to
the rescue OF the country.
Hope took the place OF dependency.
From one end OF the nation to the other.
the broken ranks closed up and the party
fastened with delight to respond to the
clarion calls Of the leaders In whom they
had confidence. In Indiana and Ohio
the tide OF battle was turned. Who
among you can forget the services Of
Grant and Conkling in the memorable
contest In those States2 Can you for.
get the timely and invaluable services Of
that shrswd. able and fearless Political
leader OF our own State, Senator Z. O.
Plat, In the contest Of Indiana From
out Of the darkness came light. Victory
was snatehsd out OF the jaws OF defeat +;
the old flag which had trailsd In dust In
Maine rose resplendent In victory In In.
diana, and James A. Garfield was saved
the possible modification OF defeat In
his own State Of Ohio.
The Republicans OF New York held
the post Of honor and danger. New
York lost. all was lost. Then began the
most brilliant and sueoessful canvass
ever wsged In the annals Of any State.
Who were your leaders then who mar
shsled the hosts and directed the col.
umns which marched TO viotory2 Grant,
Copkling. Arthur. Cornell and Plat
rendered services then which should
ever make the Republican party their
debtors. The plaudits Of the entire Re-
publican press we're d~eservedly and
freely showsred upon those great leaders
who had rendered victory possible In the
| State Of New York, and with victory In
New York came victory In the Union,
and the hearts OF Republicans all over
the land were made glad.
The new Republican Administration
was ipauguratsd. The great Empire
State was represented in the United
States Senate by two OF the most able
and faithful leaders In the ranks OF the
Republican party. The Administration
owed much to the Republicans Of New
York, and the President owed at least
respectful consideration and treatment
to their most honored and honorable rep
resentatives. That consideration and
treatment has not been accorded TO them.
With most unworthy motives James g.
Blaine has sought to mislead the Presi.
dent and to strike O blow at the represen.
tatives Of the Republicans Of New York.
He seeks his own advancement by en-.
c~oursging an internal war in the ranks
OF the Republican party. and BY attempt:
