In his opening address at the
New York Republican Convention,
the chairman said to the delegates:
"We are entering upon no holiday
excursion" He also told them that
the Republican candidate must poll,
200, 900 votes to carry the State this
fall, and they might need 100000.
The largest vote ever polled for q
Republican candidate in that State
was GAS, 729, and that was in 1888.
Last year they polled but 534, 1856.
The Democrats are in complete
possession of every department of
the State Government and that will
count considerable. With the
proper candidate and platform the
Democrats will win. The magnifi-
cent Democratic organization in
that State ought to be patterned
after in every State in the Union.
