NEW YORK, October 81, 1892.
Hon. Richard Croker, Tammany Hail,
New York:
My DEAR SIR:-It would have given
me great pleasure to have accepted your
kind invitation TO participate IN the meet
ing at Tammaoy Hall on Thursday next,
but the duties assigned to me during
this campaign have made it impossible
for me 10 take part in the public discus
sion of the questions involved in the
compaieu. | cannot however permit the
occasion to pass without saying that the
completeness Of your union and the
manly and eloquent utterances of Senator
Bill and your efforts and enthusiasm
have made it absolutely certain that the
electoral vote Of New York will be cast
for the nominees of the democratic
| party. Democrats in other states, here
tofore considered doubtful, have taken
encouragement for your example and
will show upon the day of election that
they have learned from you how to
achieve victory.
Believe me in this The people of
this country who live by the labor of
their hands and brairs-who have ac-
cumula,ed no wealth-whose only herit-
age is their love of home and country,
and whose only power consists in
the use of free ballot, will not
be overpoweTed by the methods
prActiced at the polls by the bench
ciaries of any system Of legislation; they
will over throw the party which created
that system. They will, in spirit of
perfect fairness, modify the system it
self, until the greatest good of the great
est number is secured; and they will
drive the bribers and their candidates
from the field of politics. The people
of this country slowly awaken to sence
of wrong, but when awakened, exercise
judgement which is swift, clear and
exact in It's conclusions, and never fail:
TO mete ultimately to men and parties
: the fate which they deserve
The people are turning to that man whos'
official life closes without a stain upol
: its crowded pages, Grover Cleveland
| lie has said that he has neither frierd
| to reward nor enemies to punish, and hi
history in office affords a sure guarante

e volved in the issue, and you and "
ii must defend it. This is a duty whic
