We see the price the one hand, desire ex-
hibited to obtain control of the electoral machin-
we had the ambition of the local potentate TO
obtain control of the patronage in a great com
munity. The two ambitions met Ihese Two
ambitions dealt. These two ambltlons came 10
an understanding. And, as l am against unlalr
combinations in trade so am against the MuF-
ply Hearst combination in politics.
The man who will deal easily with character
for the purpose of increasing the circulation OF
newspapers and care but little how persons are
injured in what is most sacred to every man,
his reputa ton, and will spread calumny ABROAD
for the purpose of achieving the object or a
selfish ambition tel you my IrleLus' ma ro n,
will find the most dangerous menace 10 our
American life.
The man who endeavors to achieve anything
in this country must first see to it, If he loves
his country to do 1t in an orderly and legal
wav we want no anarchy in the name of re-

we have and all that we treasure in TINS coun-

every student of our Constitution Due process
of law"
l do not believe in encouraging legal evasion;
We do not want efforts 70 make the law Itself

evils sought in a manner which implies re-

If we have a true appreciation of what is true
ana good and honorable in this country, If we

of the government, and for the beneht OF our
fellow man. then we will go forward ana Keep
all we have that is good and add TO IL ana cor

of progress. We shall know that 1t is soor'ety;
sanity and good sense that achieve REFORM, ana ana

Of hatred.
The candidate showed the strain of the day
in that he did not speak as vigorously as usual
but the enthusiasm with which he was greeted
leaves II to the imagination to picture what the
audience might have done If Mr.. Hughes had
been as inspiring usual There was no ques-
ton about the sincerity of his purpose and his
great ability, both of which were remarked
upon after the meeting.
Job Hedges spoke after Mr.. Hughes. He was
to have left the party at Syracuse. he has
a speaking engagement in Albany tomorrow,
but the local committee insisted upon his coming
TO Oswego. and is furnishing a special train TO
take him back to Syracuse tonight.
The committee wSich rode from Syracuse to
Oswego with Mr. Hughes included Judge Mer
rick Stowell. P. W. Cullinan, Thomas P. Kings
ford, w o. Thompson and State Committeeman
John T. Mott. all of Oswego. and Thomas Hunt
err president of the First National Bank of Full
ton. and E. r. Redhead, president Of the Citizens
National Bank of this city.
The Republican party is pulling solidly for
! Hughes in Oswego County, and will give him.
it is said. a plurality of at least 4,5OO. The
normal Republican plurality is about 1000
| There is a chance, 1t is asserted, that OsWego'
| with a normal Democratic plurality of 400,
which was carried by both Bryan and Parker.
may be carried by Hughes this year.
| There Is some little trouble over tie contest
| for the Senate here. Senator F. H Gates, OF
| Madison County, who was unable to get re-
nomination the Republican ticket accepted
a Prohibition nomination and has been indorsed
by the Democrats. He is giving Thomas D.
Lewis, OF Oswego County, whom the Repub-
| lic.-as nominated to succeed him, a hard fight.
| but the result Of this it is said, will simply
be 10 bring out the full Republican vote, all Of
| which will go for Hughes.
| Among the prominent Democrats in this city
| Of $4,000 inhabitants who out for Hughes
are Edward Monen, tho unsuccessful candidate
for Mayor last year; ex-Mayor James Dowdle,
John Dowdle, ex-County Treasurer; Thomas
| Burden. a merchant: Edward Farrell and the
Rev. NJ. Barry, dean of this Catholic diocese.
In Fulton. sevtn miles from here. George P.
| Wells, manufacturer; Supervisor George NJ.
| Fassell and George J. Enng. a manufacturer,
are among the Hughes Democrats.
Owing to the opportunities of the Fulton COM
mittee Mr.. Hughes will leave here at 9 O'Clock
tomorrow evening, half hour earlier than
had been planned that he may have time TO
make a speech in a hall rather than give a
ten-ninute platform speech, as scheduled. He
will go TO Auburn for an afternoon meeting
and return TO Syracuse for three meetings in the
evening.
