LETTER FROM COMRADE KAY.
The following letter explains what has been
done:
BROOKLYN, n. Y, Oct. &c, 1885.
To THE EDITOR: What l now inclose is the
latest received up to time mail closes this even
ing. In many instances nominations were
1ar. how of ha.ta ,ldp
general thing. the Committee in every District
has endeavored to enter into the spirit that
soldiers in their claim for rights are non -partl-
san. One Congressional District alone, OF the
"a in the State, owing to resignation of the
Committeeman in that District, it was necessary
to supply from this end. | mention this be-
cause it will serve to show gradual coming
together, regardless of party, and new touch
of the elbow, as i'll the years gone by, now as
then, in an effort to secure the success Of the
principle contended for
As we view it i'll this State, the declarations
made by the State Conventions are generally
accepted by those who accept nominations
under them, by men of both parties. We have
done all that men could do, in order that you
might be able to give those who have answered
a chance to have their people know what they
think, and are willing to express on this sub
!ject, SO important to those who, i'll the hour of
the country sdauger were willing to peril limb
and life in her defense, and now, through ne
cesSity, may be required to seek public em-
ployment. The promises made during and
soon after the war, when they are now
called for redemption, should be met
promptly and there should be no hesitancy in
the redemption, because the services rendered
are record of privation and suffering, where
no draft was made on these men which was
not hOnored on receipt of the ORDER and now as
age creeps on apace the lawss should be modelled
SO as to insure them anything which their serv-
ices then entitle them to at the hands of a
country rescued by their services from certain
disintegration, when it is requisite they should
call on our rulers for employment.
