field, the Democratic candidate for

refusing to do as he has generally done at
ether stops, make a personal attack upon
the Tammany leader. In his hours speech
he did not mention the name of Mr..

Governor speak, and overflow and out

that in the State, as in the Nation, we.
unlike our opponent, are party OF per-
formances and not mere promises. Our
opponents are apt to talk about the great
things they will do on behalf of the work
ingmen and against trusts and big cor
Uses; we take no attitude OF indiscrminat-
ing vindictiveness, but what we do prom
Use we do. During the past six years we
have put upon the statute books and have
enforced better and wider laws in the in

proper regulation and control of great
corporations than our opponents ever put
on during the time they had control in
Albany.

of the nineteenth century comes TO be writ

larger and larger. No other President since
Lincoln: no other President for more than
a generation preceding Lincoln has had
to face such great tasks has faced them
