AN ADDRESS TO ITS MEMBERS FROM STRONG
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
The Campaign Committee of the Union League Club.
which was appointed by Cornelius N. Bliss In accord
ance with a resolution adopted at special meeting
Of the club on Monday night held conference last
night 1t was decided TO take active part in the
campaign and the enthusiasm displayed indicated that
the club would do much TO aid in the election Of Mr.
Fassett. The following address to the members OF the
club was issued by the committee:
coming election determine whether this State
well the city Of NewYOrG shall submit to the rule
Of Tammany Hall In our experience contest within the
confines Of this municipality against the political forces
mar5haed for public punder and personal aggrandize-
ment under banner Of Tammany Hall has often seemed
hopeless yet the broader field OF State canvass
has always been possibility worth striving for, and
by all the signs of this campaign success seems now more
than pIOblble.
In the face Of the possibility public business
this Empire may pass into the hands of that
ganization and with the dir fu consequences OF M pcrn
and unrestricted control confronting citizen
Of public split should shrink from Whatever service ts
lifelong sdyersary-the Republican party-may demand
The Republican party has put In nomination the better
ticket lbs candidates distinguished, experienced, pub
Hcsprted citizens; all mon q clean record In this
campaign presented with a clearly defined issue
The principles OF the Republican party ranged against
practices Of the Democracy realized IN the methods
Of Tammany Hall.
We have every prospect OF success. The campaign
throughout tho state Is active and vigorous; but IL
necessarily involves a large expenditure Of money.
We believe that the political and commercial pros.
pey OF the great State OF NewYor should not be
dange1ed through any lack OF proper
aud unavoidable expenditures incidental az.
gtessive campaign involved I'm, and wo
think members Of the Union League Club should be
called upon their share OF tho necessary expenses
Of this good work.
We therefore request you your check for such
an you willing 10 contribute for this pur.
pose Mr. George Moatague, treasurer at tho Union
League Club, before the 26th OF October
