ty, we, representatives of the whole body of
Democrats of the county. are not unmlndfui OF the
tragic occurrence at Buffalo, y l., on le 6tll lhs
which brought death to the hOnOred Executive OF
this great country. We view with abhorrencea ut all
times the crime of assassinu tion but the crime of
Leon CzolgosZ one of peculiar enormiy. His
victim was the Chief Executive of Il free people
who had been freely chosen by them To execute the
laws which they themselves, through their repe-
sentatives i'll Congress, had enacted and the blow
which fell upon him was n blow upon me entire
body of the great American Commonw cailh. The
crime was committed bya representative Of IL cause

and the patriotic purposes which, we sincerely be
lieve always actunted him in his public acts lie

ciples which he entertained, and do not endorse
the policies of his administration OF puDc "llrS,
we fully accord to him integrity of purpose ana
sincerity of conviction in the course pursued by
him as the Federal Executive.
Ills private life was above reproach, ana MS Wiz

His devotion TO the happiness and comfort OF ms
frai and delicate wife was IL beautiful exhibition
of the pure love of true man for pure ana loVeIS
woman. To this bereaved partner OF his HE we
tender our deepest sympathy and trust mat lheSe
expressions of Veneration and regard for her noble
husband, by this convention of his political oppo-
nents, may help to mitigate i'll some slight degree,
at least, the pognancy of her great sorrow
