brought it about deserves and receives tho
highest commendation from tho Democratic
party OF the State. This Is demonstration OF
citizens. thoroughly non partisan. and shows
that you have not forgotten your old Congress-
man.who. Iassure you. has at no time forgotten
you or your interests. 1t shows that you have
not forgotten the employment snatched away
from every mechanic and every workingman
among you. 1t shows that you have not for.
gotten the business diverted from all your
tradesmen. 1t shows that you have not for
gotten the loss which every farmer and
truckman in the surrounding country has sus-
tanned. 1t shows that you have not forgotten
the loss which every industry in this upper
part OF New York. called Harlem. has been made
to suffer. wild cheeringl But little while ago
We had every reason to hope and believe that
this place at this time would present scene
Of actvty t and busy strife never be-
