f-med beyond question that thousands o'

a large majority. Senator Thomas G. Platt

THE Democratic campaign managers at the

a single Democratic candidate has been al

astrous to the Demo rats So utterly demo.al-
lied are our Democratic adversaries tha' tne
latest issue announced by them is personal
slander against me. They have caused 1t to no
circulated that l am lukewarm to the candi-
dates Of the Republican State ticket. headed ny
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. would not pay
the slightest attention TO such a slander If 1t
were not for the fact that our adversaries have

baseless slanderous falsehood.
s'The Ronuhlican party. the RepuDlCdn
| party's organization In the State and In the
! Greater New-York, from the most important
official connected with IT to the humblest man
in the ranks, has been working day and night
faithfully and Loyalty for the election of the Re-
publican State ticket, the Republican candidates
for the Legislature and the Republican candi-
dates for Congress.
"The sound-money allies OF the Republican
party In this fight have also worked as they
never worked before. The business men. the
workngmen and all classes Of citizens are deter
mined that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and MS
associates on the State ticket and all other can
didates for office who stand upon the sound
money principles laid down in St. Louis in 1896.
shall be elected next Tuesday. Colonel
RooseveIt's election and the election Of his as
sociates on the State ticket is assured beyond
tho shadow OF a doubt. The Legislature Will
he Republican by a good majority on joint bal
/ lot and a great delegation Of Republican Con-
eressmen will be sent to Washington from New
York State TO sit in the hfty-sixth session Of the
House ~ Representatives.
"Finallv and with fervor, I wish to say again
that the Democratic slandcr that | am luke
warm to the election Of the Republican State
ticket demonstrates the utterly demoraized CON
/ dltion Of the Democratic campaigners 1t is 100
ridiculous and too untrue for further com
ment"
