r-..nding from October % 10 November /, the

"a will there complete their work with another
tour of speechmaking, addressing tne N0''i' "
Albany and other cities.
What has been the political effect OF the Wig
.,ous campaign Mr.. Fassett and Mr.. Vrooman have
80 making in the interior of the State? This
:. a question which must frequently arise In the
ID NJ Republican voters in New-fOrk and
Rrooklyn anxious for the success OF the Repuo-
In Marty. II can be positively stated in reply
,hst Mr. Fassett and Mr.. NroOman have added
,bonsands and thousands Of votes TO those which
would have been given in any case in support OF the
Republican ticket upon November 3. The voters OF
me interior of the State. and especially those who
live upon farms, are indispoSed TO take an active
interest in State elections unless they perceive or
are made 10 perceive, that something of import
ance is involved in the result of the approaching
election and that their party's candidates aIe
worthy of hearty support Mr. Fassett ana III
Vrooman by their speeches lhave arouS'u
action this somewhat dormant portion oil 'He
population of the State, and have inspired .-e =
with a keen interest in the campaign ms
awakened thought about the political issues Oh
the wear will have the effect Of bringing 10 'H'
polls many thousands of Republican 'ouiS
would otherwise have remained away from ~
The Republican candidates have auui'' - 80
voters Of every section of the State tnO0e "
IL
angle Of the State; those of Northern We" yin
- Wa,a-,o,,r Ogdensburr and Malone; those
of Central New-York at Rome, syracuse C C
land Os,Te0o and LYONS those Of western New
yo,E a, Loclport Buffalo jamestown and Olean;
tbo.. ~ the Hudson River Valley at Poughkeepsle,
and those of the southern tier counties at
HorneBsviUe. Dansville, Ithaca and Elm1ra.
Mr. Fassett by his speeches has won votes
for the Republican party everywhere that he
has gone His charm Of manner, his fairness 70
bis political opponents, his courageous expression
u Republican principles, his evident thorough
ACQUAINTANCE with the States affairs and It's
method of government. his powerful criticisms OF
the acts of the Democratic State officials his pledge
Of support to a blanket ballot and other laws
70 insure honest elections his interesting sum-
msries of the laws passed BY the Republican Leg
islatur.s in the interest of laoOrng men, Of farm
en and OF others-all these have persuaded
thoughtful voters TO cast their ballots for the
Republican candidates. Nothing has aided Mr.
Fassett more than the lies told about him by
Democratic orators, for their falsity has been
ouicklv shown. and Mr. Fassett's excellent record
unon the various points on which he was assailed
has been revealed. Thus il has been declared by
the Democrats that as a legislator he was the
enemy of the labOring classes, but one had only
70 turn 10 the statutes of the State 70
discover that he was the author of a law
passed. making employees the first preferred credit
ors Of ANY bankrupt. This law, since II
was passed, it is estimated has put $5,OO0.OO0
Into the pockets Of the workingmen of the State.
This. for ian enemy of labor" is acting very
oueerly Then Mr. Fassett had law drawn up
and passed, prohibiting the employment of more
than Der cent of the state prison convicts upon
any one industry with the aim of preventing any
competition with honest workingmen For an
enemy of labor" this also an odd action
Then again, Mr.. Fassett introduced and had
passed a complete revision Of the Mechanics Lien
Law Of the State, which has had the effect, it II
estimated, Of saving 10 the workIngmen of the
state the enormous SUN Of 100000 For al
"enemy of labor this was an astonishing per
Torrance.
But. in fact, Mr. Fassett's friends have been
able 10 show the utter fasty of every charge made
against him. The attacks upon him have been
boomerangs which have rec0iled on
the heads Of the Democrats who made
them. One Of the latest mendacious attacks made
upon him was made in The New-iork Times OF
yesterday in a letter from Albany. Mr.. FaSsett
showed the 1alsity of the statement made in that
letter in his address 10 the voters of Troy last
night He said:
