The Rev. DR.. Theodore L. Cuyler, pastor

Republican Club, at l39 Lafayette avenue.

Enthusiastically appiauded DR.. Cuyler's re-
marks. George +. Elliott presided ana in
introducing DIR. Cuyler referred to the fact
that in January next the aged minister
would celebrate the eighty-fifth anniversary
Of his birth.
DIR. Cuyler said in part:
Since the civil war there has been no
more vitality important election than the
one next Tuesday. We are confronted by
. terrible danger which threatens our public
peace, our business prosperity and the best
interests OF the laboring classes. who are
always the worst sufferers from disordered
business or bad government. I speak to-
night as the true friend of the man who brings
milk to my door and the man who shovels
coal into my cellar.
In the last conversation which ] had with
Mr.. Gladstone in London he said to me;
your country il threatened with two dan
gers; one il your lax system of easy divorce,
which saps the sanctity of the home. and
the other is a plutocracy which can buy its
way into legislative bodies and executive
office" MIR. GladstOnes wise words were IA
prophecy of the ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS
plutocrat who is now aiming to buy his
way into the executive chair of New York
and thence into the White House in Wash

type OF journalism which has been a poisoner
OF the public morals.
His first audaciOus stroke was for the Presi-
dency-for the seat once held by Washington
and Lincoln! He actually spent enormous
sums of money in securing control OF a con-
siderable number of votes in a national con-
Ventionl That was the most corrupt piece
Of enrontery ever perpetrated in America.
A man who aspired to the Presidency might be
presumed to be- a respectable member of Con-
Rress. But when the great commercial city
of New York sent him there he shamefully
ehirked his sworn duties and on 1870 i'm
portant rOllcalls he was present only about
twenty times TO answer to his namel
Can a man who violated his vows in the
only Office he ever held be trusted in the
executive chair OF our Empire state? ]
solemnly warn the honest laboring people of
our State that il they are hoaxed by the
honeyed promises of this artful impostor they
will find that his golden apples" will turn to
ashes in their mouths. Don't be humbugged
by Hearst.
Mr.. Hearst's loudest boast is his indepen-
dence of bosses. Yet everybody knows that
his nomination at Buffalo was secured by the
basest OF bosses, Charles F. Murphy: and il
he wins the ~Governorship IL will be by the
nnclean support of Tammany Hall. II Hearst
L. elected one Of two things will assuredly
happen. Either he will allow Murphy to be his
adviser and Tsmmany Hall will be enthroned
at Albany, or else he will be guilty Of the
unheard OF and perhdious ingratitude of
throwing the man who nominated him and
elected him out Of the window. II Hearst
should take either horn of this dilemma he
would forfeit his standing among honorable
men.
In striking contrast with the purchased
candidacy OF this ambitious plutocrat was
the spontaneous. unsought, unanimous nomi-
nation OF that brave, brilliant. honest. un-
bossed patriot, Charles Evans Hughes. As
one OF the many thousands whose lives are
insured in the life insurance companies Of
New York, | owe a debt OF inexpressible
gratitude to him as the noblest public bene-
factor in this State. Your business and
your homes will be the safer with his firm
steady rand holding the helm and keeping
the keel Of our State Government true in all
weathers.
Good friends, we have one other sacred
duty next Tuesday besides putting honest
Hughes in the Governors chair. It is TO
put an able and ~incorruptible judiciary on
the bench. ! entreat every one Of you to
work night and day for the election OF those
n~on-partiss3 Judges whose names are pre-
sented by the Citizens Judiciary Nominators
The coming election will be no boy play OF
football: IL will be a tremendously hard fight
in which a deluge of money will he poured
out by an INSCRIPTIONS plutocrat who is
playing for the stake of the Presidency. and
a deluge Of his lying newspapers Is flooding
the State. During the civil war Republicans
and Democrats stood shoulder TO shoulder
