TROY LETTER.
Troy, N. Y, March "a, 1895.

Troy, N. Y, March "a, 1895.
It seems as though we are just now
going to have winter up here. This is
. spring month but we are having win
ter weather every day up to date The
largest snow we have had this winter
came on the 11th snd 18th instant and
Is on the ground now 1t Is very cold.
The Baptist, Methodist and Presby-
terisn churches had good meetings all
day Sunday.
One Of the best things the state of
that the Rains Liquor Tax Bill, was
signed by the Governor Monday, 23rd
instant and has become q law.
The next thing we want now is that
Mckinley be nominated next June by
the Republican party and on the Ord
day Of next November the people will
see to it and make him the president
of these United States. We are New
Workers. but we want the Ohio man for
president. Yet we bow our heads and
wonder where is the man who would
60 70 the White House and would have
backbone strong enough to stand up
TO see that every citizen irrespective
of race or color, would have his rights
by law. One Ohio man would have
done it had he not been killed.
Let US all do right and the great
Judge and President of all the world
will see to it, that the under presidents
and rulers will do right by his people
