Dear Sirs,-DO not vote for Senator

calamity contended for at Buffalo DO
not endeavor falsely to stem the tide OF
that would-be gold-plank which fell at
Chicago. 1t will give honor TO q de-
serter; IL viii place a price on hypocrisy.
Senator Hill was the main cause OF
throwing the party into chaos by the
disgracem nomination Of Thacher and
he tried hard 10 hold himself IN the field,
after the people and his party had re-
pudiated him. and he had repudiatei
himself
Mr.. Ten Eyck refused 10 say just who
the Committee OF Eight are, or who they
represent.
