MR.. TAYLoR's LETTER.
Col Quinn denounced the report OF
Town Treasurer Allen. which did not, as
required by vote of the last financial
meeting, keep the disbursements OF the
present administration separate from the
unpaid bills OF its predecessors.
Col. Quinn then. read a letter OF ac-
ceptance from William II Taylor who
has been nominated by the Democrats for
senator as follows:

important positions I'm our state | cannot
allow private considerations to determine
my action, With profound thanks and
appreciation, l accept the nomination.
The conditions In this state have
grown so intolerable In recent years that
IL would seem only natural that every
self-respecting citizen must revolt against
the control OF our state by a man who
by ways and means that are well known
10 us all, sits in his office and directs all
legislation OF any Importance.
1t is a well-known fact I'm this state
that Charles r. Brayton makes and un-
makes the Officers OF this commonwealth,
which the people are supposed 10 control.

states senator a matter OF barter and
sale. You know. and every man In this
community knows, that without the con-
sent by Brayton. II IL impossible unless
by accident. 10 achieve the appointment
or a Judge or dog catcher.
My position in politics has always
been that OF an independent, voting for
men and principles. which according to
my best Judgment. would best carry out
the interest OF our people In the pres

one course to follow for ahy sclf-respect-
ing citizen. viz: fight for the parties who
have the courage and manhood TO stand
for great principle the elimination OF
boss rule, and the redemption OF the fair
name OF our state.

magnate; n man or vast wealth suddenly
acquired. who bases all his hopes OF
reaching the senate upon his ability to
bring TO bear upon the Brayton machine
those influences TO which alone IL is sus-
ceptlble. There are already too many
men OF this stamp In the United States
senate. and their election should be
fought against by every fair means at our
command
