in power to veto IT, but Democratic Governor was

ELECTORAL REFORM FOR TILE STATE
Now. II you think you understand my "illiDcraP
views about high license, shall go on to ballot re-
form. The Republican party has declared Tor
reform in our electoral system. The Republican
party has been standing for years demanding that
there should be an honest ballot and fair count IN
The South. While We have been demanding that we
equally determined and Jealous for an honest vos
and an honest count at the North. But here we ma
ourselves arrived at condition when some amend
mcnts, some changes in our election laws should oe
passed. We have hcre great city OF million anu
a half OF people. VIC have State OF moro than SIX
millions of people; have In our midst vast accu,
Wealth mounts up to hundreds Of millions OF dollars.
Within the last ten or fifteen years money has come
to, play to S Ps no one run for
office in This city unless hc can pay large assess,
They have been compelled to pay out to tho party
dollars dollars '1 When ' fsey ls "vHh their nSmna
tons. This IS dangerous system II Is
e pup Of 'af the PS Sex ali
tutions We believe that this vast expenditure OF
money should bc stopped loud cheers we DC
licvc that all legitimate expenses attending elections
should be paid by the State.
1t has come 70 such pass that no poor man can nope
to for Office unless he has some rich friend 10
pay his assessment Vast sums OF money are ase,,
possible to pass such laws VIII substantially render
corruption impossible We haze LAYS now sn mnS ing

last year what was known as the saXton Electoral Dill
Governor I'M vetoed that He tells the people PIE n'@

1t because II was defective
HE TOOK A DIFFERENT COURSE THIS TIME.
1 think that the Governor has vetoed number OF
bills, and when he has done has pointed out their
defects and asked the Legislature to remedy them by
amendments. II he had wanted this bill to become
law. but thought 1t defective in some respects, he
could have recommended the Legislature to amend so
to get rid of the defects presume that the SAY
ton bill was not perfect but It contained principle
which, II carried into operation, would enable man
to cast ballot So that no human being would Know
for whom was cast It, therefore, cdor,nde re-
No money be used for corrupt purposes at an cleo
ton unless the purchaser can SEQ The ballot aepIsd

A FINAL WORD TO YOUNG MEN
A word to the young men. Now finally, lot me
appeal to the young men of NewYork (applausc), to
the young men who this year cast their first votes,
to them for the party of human freedom for the
party which cnfrancbsed slaves and thereby elevated
labor: for the party which saved the Union; for the
party which for twenty-five years managed tho affairs
OF this Government with oonsummatc wisdom, and
which brought peace and plenty TO our people for the
party which has done more for tho cause Of human
liberty and OF progress and education In every pos
sble way than any other party has done before
I'm the history Of the world for that party which Is
committed not only hero in New-York, but all over
the country to reform IN temperance and 70 electoral
reform
our party appeals to you as other party can.
It appeals TO you By its past giores, by
its record and history (applausel; 1t
appeals 10 you In the names Of
the great who have illuminated the history Of
the American people applause In the names Of LIN
coin and of Grant II appeals TO by It's promises
of the future is there any promise of reform in the
Democratic party today, anywhcrc, either in state
or National affairs IL there Is know not what IL

call out the fighting qualities Of the old voters who
have stood by the party since 1860 II appeals say,
