1t is particularly gratifying that the Repub-
lican party. in the good work that has been done
in recent years, has had the support and has
largely been able to accomplish that work
through the support of patriotic members or the
Democratic party. who respond quickly ana en-
thusia stically to call upon good citizens. Ana
throughout the state nothing has been more
gratifying than the action OF old line Democrats
ceedings of the Euffalo convention They have
thought more of the principles of their party
than they have Of their candidate. They have
thought more of true Democracy than the pre-
tence and the masquerade which they were
asked to support.
LOVES TO SEE CONTENTED HOMES.
There is widespread feeling through the state
that we should have the freest opportunity on
the part Of our electors to choose those VINO VIII
represent them, and am glad of it.
| love to come TO community like this where
so much of the benefit of our prosperous life has
been shared by the people I love TO see the
contented homes love to see the people happy
and full of brotherliness and kindly feeling This
is no country for malice and bitterness ana
hatred and envy.
So far as in me lies I propose that shall
have a clean and honorable administration.
propose that shall have. so far as it is within
my ability to secure 1t, departmental action and
action by the Legislature in accordance with the
just VIII of the people. propose that we shall
have, so far it is in my power to obtain IT,
legislation promoted and legislation advanced
only by fair argument and to put stop to
every means Of corruptly influencing the Legis-
lature any member of it.
believe in having the law enforced without
reference to persons or things except to deal
justly with both.
believe in having the laws that have been
put upon our statute books for the protection
of labor adequately enforced.
l want to the government economical, 1
want to ii efficient.
| desire to see our election laws simplided. so
that 1t will be most easy for the voters to eX-
press their wishes and most difficult for the
wishes Of the majority to be defeated.
l believe in seeing 20 it that man who is
elected should get the office to which he is
elected.
believe in making it easy for the popular will
TO. be expressed in connection with candidates..
Now we have got things to correct. We have
got abuses which must be stopped. We must
equaliZe opportunity. We must prevent these
corporations that get privileges from the public
from ignoring their obligations to the public We
must TO 1t that government control is ef-
fective in securing for the people what theg have
a right to have. We must see to ii that there is
no evasion of public obligation We must see TO
it that the law is enforced, and that there is no
power above the law.
But, above all, we must see to It that
main natriOtiC American citizens. loving
country. and putting down once and for all the
attempt to create a class feeling, feeling Of Bit
terness and resentment and the attempt to make
the State of New York camp from which selfish
ambition can march upon Washington.
OFTEN INTERRUPTED BY APPLAUSE.
Judge Gleason. referred to in Mr.. Hughes's
speech, was the father of Lafayette B. Gleason,
secretary of the Republican State Committee
Frequent Interruptions of the speaker showed
the deep interest of the audience IN what he
was saying. We'll elect you by 800 000!" cried
one enthusiast
After the meeting Professor Wood took Mr..
Hughes over the familiar scenes at the Della
ware Academy and into the old law offices Of
Judge Gleason. There was more "reminiscing"
and it was o'clock before Mr.. Hughes got
back TO the train in Bloomville. The special
train pulled right out for Oneonta
The car was drawn directly into the Delaware
& Hudson station, disappointing the reception
committee and a large crowd at the Ulster &
Delaware station The committee, with the
band and carriages and most of the crowd
rushed TO the other station and bore Mr.
Hughes away to the Windsor Hotel, where he
rested before the meeting
The story told to-day in the flying trip was
the same heard in other parts of the state-the
Republicans holding their own, with only now
and then detection to Mr.. Hearst whereas the
conservative Democrats are going strongly for
Mr. Hughes. One man from Stamford, Della
ware County, said he knew of one vote only for
Hearst in the town
G. W. Fairchild, Republican candidate for
Congress in this district, the 24th. who has been
with the party most of the day, says he believes
that the normal Republican pluralities in his
district Will be exceeded this fall He does not
go SO far as to say that Schoharie, the mainstay
Of the Democratic party in this section, will go
for Mr. Hughes but some of the other campaign
managers are predicting it.

Republican ranks over nomination for county
judge. but both sides are for Mr. Hughes The
Democrats have nominated for county Judge
