COLONEL vARNUM'S STRONG PROMISES.
The last speaker was Colonel james NJ. Varnum,
who had an especially warm greeting from his
townsmen Mr. Root introduced Colonel Varnum
ms our candidate for Attorney General an able
lawyer, worthy friend and our trustworthy
Colonel Varnum began with reference 70 the
great interest taken in the Republican counties
all over the State in the action Of the New York
City Republicans this year lie said that the
benefit Of the public meetings held during the
last week had been incalculablc, and that the
Republicans in the State were now thoroughly
satisfied that their brethren in NeW-Yorl in |
tended TO make an active and aggressive fight !
and the result had been n great encouragement |
If the full party vote could be got out in the /
country well as in this city, there every
grohnt 10 believe that the Republican |
ticket would be elected. Referring 10 the At |
torney- Generalship Mr.. Varnum called attention
to the fact that it eighteen years since there
had been a Republcan candidate from this city
named for that Office; and the speaker accepted !
il as good that the last time that New York
City did have candidate for Attorney General !
not only was he elected, but every member Of the !
State ticket well and he urged upon his hearers
10 use their best efforts 10 secure that result once
more Colonel Narnum continued:

Office OF Attorney General. for which your rrpic- /
,cntatives have PLACED In nOmin ton and a. IN |
