and ali Interests united in the Empire state.
II would secure in that Commonwealth
| triumph Of The ticket. [Applaasel. Under
these conditions personal considerations and
opinion could have no possible weight.
Since then discussion has arisen which has
convinced me that my vocation and aSSOcia-
lions will raise questions IN hitherto certain
Republican STATES which N ght enable the
enemy TO obscure the great issue OF the

fall. [Applause.l Delegates bad voted 10
continue in ny support so long as ballots
were TO be taken, but under the clrcum-

praFeriul consideration, / came 10 the
conclusion that no personal considerations,
no State reasons, could stand for q moment
in the way OF the general success OF The party
all over the country, or could he permitted
10 threaten the integrity Of tie party in
any Commonwealth hitherto Republican. In
our own state, by wise laws and wiser sub
mission TO tbeB BY railroad c0mpaRles, the

settled that it has disappeared from our poll

are communities where Il j. still so active
that there may be danger IN having 1t pre-
scented directly or indirectly. Under these
circumstances and after Your vote OF this
morning called on the delegation from my
Own State and requested them to release
me from further service in thAt capacity.
They have consented, aud my only excuse
In appearing here is 10 give excuse for their

to express heartfelt thanks 10 the gentlemen
from the States and Territories who have
hOnorod me with their sufr9ges. The
causes winch have led 70 this action on the
part Of the state Of New York, now that
