lausel. But l believe that there are COM
munities where Il Is still so active that there
may be danger in having II presented
directly or indirectly. Under these circum.
stances, and after your vote this morning,
called on the delegation from my own
State and requested them 10 release me from
further service in that capacity. They have
consented and my only excuse In appearing
here Is 10 give excuse for their action for the
appearance OF my name, and 90 express
heartfelt thanks 10 gentlemen from the
States and Territories who have honorcd me
with their sufirages The causes which have
led 20 this action on the part Of the State OF
New York. now that their Judgment has
been arrived at, will leave no heartburnings
among the people In thp' state.
The delegation will 70 home 70 a constitu-
enoy which were unanimous in the support
OF whoever may be tho nominee OF this con-
vcntion. tApplause.l
