PERSONAL ISSUES DOMINANT.
These are but few OF the issues Of the
present campaign, which l summarize
Tor your guidance IN order that you may
follow more closely the arguments OF the
peakers whom am about to introduce.
The comparison between the two candidates
] shan leave to you.
On the one side we have a man who,
whatever his personal views may have
been, In the past, now supports and reafhrms
every position. right or wrong, ever taken
by the Republican party; who explicitly
tinue the policies which both at home and
abroad are doing injury to human rights
and to the interests Of the American people;
q man whose whimsical ideas OF the duty
which he owes to the public In the great
oface which he holds are liable any day
u
yet, from constitutional limitations
On the other side We have a man Of sim
plicity OF life, who has spent the best years
Of his manhood in dispensing law and has
attained a high distinction among the
jurists, OF this country, whose training,
disposition and true nature dispose him to
look with reverence upon the law, and to
strive for its maintenance.
Ny fellow citizens. one Of the most impor-
tant issues Of the campaign Is the person
atty Of the candidates. Will this people,
In the light Of his past performances, elect
Election and sense of patriotic duty impel
them to cast their votes for a man OF not only
personal uprightness of life, but OF high,
stainless, judicial character and attain
ments, and Of sound and loyal Democratic
devotion, Alton B. Parker?
A great demonstration followed Judge
HerIick's introduction. He touched but
briefly on national Issues and, passing
to those Of his own campaign, said:
Judge Herrick's Speech.
The independent voters Of Greater New
York will determine the election in this
State-the men who have convictions and
the courage of these convictions; who are
not bound down by party ties or carried
away by party shibboleth; the men OF in
teligence who know no reason why, be-
cause they voted for the candidates OF a
party one year, should do SO the next,
unless these candidates stand for and are
to be trusted to carry out the principles they
then believed in; the men who when they
hold the balance Of a in the =, hSa
and Of action. The leaders Of parties are
quick to recognize the necessity Of appeal
ing to those who do hold the balance Of
power. They are not leading party for
their health or for pleasure. They are lead
ing it for success and when they are taught
that SUCCESS can only be gained by the
advocacy Of high principles and CORE
demand.
Then, too, there Is another class of men,
principles, but who are not the blind fol-
lowers Of party, or the slaves Of ma
chine; men who recognize the fact that
there are times when Tor the good Of the
party 1t needs Christening by defeat, even
as the father chasteneth the child Of his
recognize that the party organization,
instead Of being an organization by and
through which the party acts, has degene-
rated Into machine. which, instead Of being
controlled by the party. controls the party,
thee oys pary men that s' loyal to
principle. know that the great need OF the
party IL to overthrow such a machine and
and tho thrusting out Of its selfish leaders.
Tothese two classes Of independent voters
we shall make frequent appeals In this cam
paign, and II we cannot satisfy them 1t is
best for the interests Of the nation and
State, best for the good name and fame
Of the Republican party itself, that there
should be q change Of measure and OF men,
then we are not entitled to succeed In this
TO are an Intelligent people, and when the
Issues are fairly and truthiully presented
to them, they are competent to judge
and their cool and deliberate judgment
VIII determine the result.
THIS Is oDKLI ism. DO YoU WANT IT?
Upon State matters / will indulge In no
lengthy discussion. The issues are plain
Of State Affairs Tor the last ten years, then
vote for the present, Governors State
ticket, because the Republican platform ap-
proves OF the past administration Of State
affairs. Ny adversary points with pride
tration, and Gov. Odell approves Of it and
points to 1t with pride.
II you approve Of the savings bank tax,
than vote for my adversary. He voted
for It and voted against its repeal. 1t Is
that II elected he will favor it's repeal II

II you approve Of paying contractors
for work that they have never done, Of
paying for blasting and exoavating rock
where sand and earth were shovelled, OF
which the Furnaceville claim is an object

voted for 1t. II you approve Of and think
the increased e1penses OF the State are

cause for number OF years he was the
chairman OF the Senate Finance Committee,
the watch dog OF the treasury.
II you want the tl0l ,000, 900 voted by you
for canal improvem ents squandered and
wasted % was the 100000, then vote for
the present Governors State ticket and
have a canal board In harmony with the
present Governors canal officials-friends
TO watch friends. II you want the expendi-
ture Of the SOL ,00o, 900 watched with jeal-
Gus care, then elect board Of canal officers
Of opposite political faith to the present
0overpor's canal officials
To those Of you who are Republicans
upon principle, II you are satisfied with the
present management Of your party organi-
lation and DEERE its continuance under its
present management, then vote for my
adversary. 1.-The L. q loyal man and has any
red blood In him, he Is bound to use all
honest efforts to continue that manage
mept and maintain and strengthen the
hands Of those who are now in control.
But II YOU do not desire to stand for all
these things, but believe that the time
has come when for the benefit OF the people,
when for the benefit OF the Republican party
itself. there should be change OF measures
