the fertile valleys OF the Hudson, the Mohawk
an ana the Genesse, the State of New York is none
the less paramount in our political than our
national affairs. Her great city is the lfegiving
heart OF the Democratic party. Her electoral
vote is the keystone of the federal arch upon
which we place our hopes. In her present rela-
what was said OF the Roman amphitheater:

When falls the coliseum, Rome shall fall;
And when Rome fals-the world" d.,
Our people want a leader filled with the aspi-

administration as governor our state debt OF
$1,000 900 was reduced virtually to nothing
while the properties and interests of the state
were adequately maintained and improved.
These things speak i'll tones Of thunder against

an untsrrified and aggressive Democracy. His
experience teaches us that such is the way to
succeed. We love him MT merely for the en-

having just entered upon the high office OF SEN

slightest doubt OF his ability to carry his state

from New York is not itself, unmindful OF its
