want to know what is proposed. l want to
know what will happen If he is elected; there
fore I asked him these questions-and l shall
continue to ask them until they are answered
or his silence becomes more eloquent than
words.
There are great many critics that have not
any real basis for criticism because they don't
do what they can 70 prevent that which they
crIticise But we have the machinery and the
method Every now and then time will arise
when the voters want to speak and they should

in the party and the choice of the best men.
Therefore, desire to see adopted in this state

The Governor will leave here tomorrow noon
to speak at Rome. Oneida and Canastoga with
big meeting at Syracuse at night
