New York, Oct George William
Curtis, in letter TO the Secretary Of the
New York Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton, says that Judge tolger's ability
and character are not in the question,
but his nomination is. That nomination
was procured by the combined power og
fraud and patronage, and to support il
at the polls will be to acquiesce in fraud
and patronage as legitimate forces in a
nominating convention. Every good
citizen is bound to resist to the utmost
such wrong to free institutions, and
the only eifectual way in which the voters
can be emancipated from the corrupt and
uebdsing rule of the machine is to defeat
its candidates of this class. | believe
that this will be done decisively by the
Republican voters of New York and
Pennsylvania at the election this autumn.
They will see their party defeated rather
than fraud and the corruption of patron
age rule. This is an evil which must
and ii violence unless conclusively
eradicated by the people at the polls.
