THE CANDIDATES FULTON SPEECH.
Mr.. Hughes's speech follows in part:
We must see to it that self-interest does not
turn one from the path of duty in his busi-
ness if would be that in the Capitol
at Albany public obligation would be the first
and supreme consideration. Now, in regard to
corporations. the vice lies not in the organiza-
ton, but in the abuse and evasons of law which |
men in charge of these enterprises frequently |
are guilty of. And therefore it that as a |
test of political sincerity 1 asked my opponent |
whether in his corporations he Obeyed the law |
under his control where he was the complete |
master of the situation and could do just he |
pleased, he was the apostle of corporate reform.
asked whether in his great business OF
and selling newspapers he rendered
1 loyal obedience TO the State of New York and
20 the city. government of the city which pro-
ected him. 1t has been proved by the records
If the departments in New York that my oppo-
lent, despite his constant abuse and his reck-
ess censure, mingling good and bad alike in an
condemnation with reference to
corporate matters-that he himself in his
'oratiOns failed to pay the share that due
o the city of New York for their protection.
Those were not idle words. 1 have not made
single statement in this campaign that is not
rue, and have not made single promise that
cannot keep. When l make these statements
know what 1 am talking about. Applause)
You could reduce the opportunities for employ |

The people of this state will not forget the
uffalo convention. No profession, no platform
)eech, no glib utterance of desire to serve the
eople, can do away with that object lesson of | j

shed.
