nuence my opinions or action upon ballot re-
form Is absolutely untrue. So is the assertion
that Gov. Hill wrote me any letters on the sub

been this" said Gov Albeit referring to his
letter book, and under date OF Nov z, 1889.

had at hand. and saying: Il shall have to say
something upon this subject In my message,
and I would like to get the benefit OF your ex-

ceived from Albany q bundle Of pamphlets
