support. There is no doubt in my mind that
the services Of yourself and co-lGborers have
been invaluable, and earnestly hope that the
| conditions Of the party in whose cause you have
enlisted will be such as to deserve the continu

OF those who believe in the principles and purity

cause for congratulation in November next,
am very truly yours, GROVER CLEVELAND"
