throw out of employment single

Fellow Democrats of the Empire
State and of the country, the duty Of
the hour is not rash criticism of the
Democratic leaders, or Democratic
measures not mutual recriminations,
nor conflicting councils, but it is a
time for conoiliation, for unity of pur-
pose, for aggressive campaign. The
control of both legislative departments
of the government is at stake in the
coming election.
Inter-party strife must now cease,
and our attacks be reserved for the
foes who are already forming their
lines of battle against US. Democratic
alike be Loyalty supported.
Clean Administration.
'HThe administration of President
Cleveland has been clean-handed, eco
nomical, painstaking and patriotic. The
various departments of the national
government have been conducted with
success, and the Democratic party, as
a whole, is entitled to the confidence of
the masses of the people whose inter
ests it endeavored faithfully to serve.
""The administration of our state
government under Democratic auspices
has merited the public confidence. We
have given to the state wise laws, we
have reformed abuses. we have aided
the cause of labor and we have con-
tributed largely to the added greatness,
prosperity and welfare of our grand
old commonwealth.

up a religious test as a qualification
for official preferment in this land OF
the free, and which is propagated by
a certain political organization which
deserves eXecra ton at the hands OF
every fair-minded man, but which the
Republican state convention last week
distinctly refused. though earnestly
asked to condemn"

High and Patriotic Motives.
The senator concluded as follows

every selfish consideration, actuate6
only by high and patriotic motives, re
al;Zing how much is at stake to be wor
or lost. mindful of the grand traditions
which belong to the party of Jefferson

rupted by applause, particularly in hi'
arrangement of the Mckinley tariff.
