tn the Democratic members of the Legisle-
tue:
It having been stated that there would
be presented to the democratic senatorial
caucus the name of certain democrats who
have been identified with the monopoly in
terests of the national anti monopoly league,
respect fully calls attention to the fact that
there arc many coed democrats who are free
from such utilization, and that in view
of the evident purpose OF The great
monopolies of the country to obtain control
of the senate of the United States, il is of the
utmost importance that senators should be
elected who will protect thepublic interests.
Among other we'll known members OF the
democratic party, who we believe to be
worthy of your consideration, we may men,
ton Hon. II. Seymour, Hon. Horatio Sey-
mour, IT,, Hon. Erastus Brooks, Hoo.
Thomas Kinsells, Hon. Il. .. Tomlinsor,
Hon. William Purcell aud hen. Francs
Herman.
All of which is respectfully submitted by
the national anti-monopoly league.
