FELLOW CITIZENS: am here to visit the

sponse to the invitation OF many political
friends and numbered those who. as neigh

pretense by declaring that ever since
the day when very small boy, 1 left this
State, have languished in an enforced alb
sence and long to tread again its soil. and
yet | may say, without affectation, that
though the way Of life has led me far from
the place of my birth, the place OF my
nativity and the names of Caldwell and
Newark, the memories connected with these
places are as fresh as ever. have never
been disloyal to my native State but have

existence OF a large laboring population:
This force, In my opinion, Is an element OF
strength and greatness In the State and no
part Of the community should be more IN
