supplement- IL by some brief reflections upon
questions which are in the minds Of the peo-
pie OF the State" He then adds: Il favor the
enactment of such additional proper laws as
will further secure the care and support OF the
soldiers of the republic. whether they be those
who served in the War of the Rebellion or in
the war against the Spanish nation" After
joining himself at this late day to something
which everybody in the State favors. Mr.. Sey-
mour goes on 10 say that he will favor the re-
peal or the modification of unjust or bad laws
so as to eliminate their Objectionable or OPP
pressive provisions" 1t is noteworthy that the
Republicans favor the repeal outright of unjust
or bad laws. They have. in fact, been engaged
in passing such repealers ever since the Demo-
Gratis put the racetrack law and others Of its
ilk in the statute books. Continuing, Mr.. Sey-
mour is opposed to the Meeker Electon law
which is about to have its first trial II found
satisfactory, Mr.. SeyTnou-'s assistance VIII

OBJECTS TO THE FOUR YEARS TERM.
Mr.. Seymour next expresses his objection TO
the proposed constitutional amendment making
the term of the Governor four years the terms
OF State Senator's four years, and the terms of
Assemblymen two years. This is a matter upon
which men of all parties may honestly differ.
and which the people will ultimately determine.
and in the determination of which Mr.. Seymour
will have precisely vote. His gallery play
in this instance is a little more transparent than
is usual even for an expert at that sort OF this'
he is unanimously admitted TO BE- 10 MI
Seymour, his letter OF acceptance leaves one

or misconstrued at this time to be a DID Tor the
