Newburg April 1S-In view of the comments In
the New-York newspapers this morning concern
irg Congressman Benjamin B Odell. jrs. atti-
tude toward the Greater NewYork bill. he has
given the following statement to the United
Press:
In regard to the Greater New York measure. my
objections are honest and conscientious and without
any respect 10 what effect they may have upon my
own or any one else's future. I believe II to he
measure that the Republican party throughout the
rural districts opposes. While there may be some
justification for the passage Of the bill. In view OF
the that given in 1893 for the consolidation
yet of the fact that the bill has been dis
approved by the Republican Mayors and only has
the approval Of the Democratic Mayor OF the cities
affected by the BILL do consider that this oppo-
siton Is that Is necessarily anagonstic to the
organization Of which have been so .ong MEMBER
but so far ] concerned Individually seems to
me to be but reflex OF the opinion OF my constitu-
ents.
There is no intention my part to use or to be
used as q factor in the solution Of the Presidential
question I did not go to Albany with this IDEA IN
view but upon other business; and only expresssd
there what have frequently expressed before
my unalterable opposition the measure. and II tho
Assem emblymen from this Congressional district and
from other parts of the State are influenced by
what have said. 1T Is without any preconcerted
idea upon my part to Influence them.
/ believe that Repubcanism Is synonymous with
the right to express opinion upon any great ana
important question such the bill under considera-
tion / do not know whether II viii he defeated or
not but hope for the benefit OF the party al
large that Il will be.
There is no disposition upon my part upon this or
any other question TO place myself in opposition to
the wishes Of my friends. and do not believe ha'
this expression be construed as disoyal either
