an Address TO Voters.
The Execu tive Committee of tho State
League of Republican Clubs met at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel yesterday, with President Ad-
Olson b. Colvin in the chair. There ,was'a
full attendance. and the following address,
which was prepared by a subcommittee, was
adopted unanimously:
'The State League OF Republican Clubs
congratulates the people Of New York upon
the grandly successful Administration of
President Mckinley. Never has a President
been more appreciative Of his responsibility
to the people, and never have the peoples
representatives in Congress been more loyal
to the President. The pledges Of tho 81. Louis
platform have been redeemed. the country's
credit preserved, and her commerce restored.
Under seven months Of Republican rule
the country has recovered from the paralysis
into which it was thrown by the malign pur-
poses Of the advocates of disorder and repu.
diation, confidence has found its way into the
hiding places of American capital, and pro-
lection stands guard before the homes Of
American labor.
"In securing tho enactment of this beneh.
cent and remedial legislation the President
has enjoyed the undertaking support and nc
tive assistance Of the junior Senator from
New York, and this great leader. in turn, has
been sustained by an able Republican Congress.
sional delegation. Thus wo heartily commend
the course Of the representatives OF the Republi.
can party in Washington to the people of the
State. Their course has been all that New York
demands of her representatives. and she de-
mands much.
"Th State League of Republican Clubs con.
graduates the people, upon the clean and con-
servatlve administration of Gov. Black. In
administering the highest trust, save one, that
IS given to an American citizen to administer,
he has measured up to the fullest and most eN-
acting requirements. RlDe in sClOlQrshiD.

State without regard to party.
The League takes this opportunity to warn
the voters, OF the associated territories en-
braced in the city Of Greater New York n zainst
to insure the defeat of Tammany Hall. Every
vote which is not cast for that patriot and
statesman. Gen. BENJAMIN F. Tracy, is a vote
In favor OF the corruption of Tammany or the

ut is of the highest importance that every
voter who believes in Republica principles
should be registered. Friday and Saturday are
the last days for placing names upon the lists.
A failure to register means the loss OF q vote.
THE verdict of one year ago In favor of honest
money and respect for constitutional govern
ment must be repeated this year. From
every State where the pernicious doctrines OF
the Chicago platform are still Haunted as the
principles of the Democracy all eyes are turned
on New York. A falling Off in the Republican
vote will encourage the enemies OF good gov

other. Let every member Of the League CON

are no stay-at.homes. Get every Republican
