party are honest and true. They want honest and intelligent government When their party fails to give 1t they know that the time has arrived when their duty and also their intellectual 'self-respect requires them to vote with the opposite party. To keep govern ment up to the mark one party should not be kept in power continuously II would be fortunate for us if our po- litical parties In state and nation were more evenly divided, so that one party could be put out and the other brought in.
 While the long standing corruption was being revealed from day to day in Albany last winter many intelligent republicans made up their minds that 1t was time to let the democratic party come into power for awhile for the common veal and they are of that mind still.
 And happily, MT Dix Is man of such integrity and fitness and, let me add freedom from objectionable in fluence, that there is no reason for any fair and intelligent man to cast a mere party vote against him.
 Good Service Rendered
 "The democratic convention did a service to honest politics by refusing the alliance offered to 1t by political ScalupS WiO HdfC no Wioii u oAo iAi good government but only had theii vain and selfish ambition in view, and for that alone the ticket, which 1t squarely and fairly nominated, should have the hearty good will of every one.
 "The assertion that MT Dix was se- lected and his nomination forced by a political leader hereabouts, I know o1 my own Knowledge to be false. It Is | <t.. .%n <r .+x~rx or.s then thunp 1t over and that is what some distinguished republican or new nationalist campaigners seem to be principally engaged in, but they will learn on election night that the voters of the state know man of straw ol scarecrow when they see one, at least as quick as crow does. Very truly yours, w. J. GAL NOR.
 GIynn's Speech
 Martin H. Glynn of Albany devoted most of his speech to an attack upor Theodore Roosevelt and charges of re. publican extravagance in both state. and county administration. ..s
 MT. Glynn was prominent candi- date for the democratic gubernatorial nomination at Rochester. Many of hii arguments were supported, he said, by figures obtained while he was state comptroller He predicted that the his torian of the future will refer te Colonel Roosevelt as "Th heodore yea an( nay"
 What he affirms today he denie. tomorrow" said MT. Glynn.
 "At Saratoga he spends a day fight. | ing for what he calls decent citizen ship everywhere else he spends all hi. time in the indecent crusade agains bearing false witness against hi neighbor +*
 MT Roosevelt has probably told MT Stimson that there was no estrava- gance at Albany but yet the records of the state comptroller's department show otherwise. They show, that MT Roosevelt In his personal expenditure. for fare and cab hire was one of tho most extravagant governors ...is state ever had. These bills show that ths state paid for trips of MT. Roosevelt not only throughout the state but tt Washington and Chicago, and that hi. 1 carriage hire was not merely an. Alban, bit but that it was pronounced wllei he spent his vacations at Oyster Bay Perhaps the magnanimity of New orl state in paying for these jaunting tripi to Washington and Chicago cultivated In him the habit which prompted hin | to accept free transportation from tn, Pennsylvania railroad aggregatinf $100,000. The records in the office O. the state comptroller show that as gov ernor MT. Roosevelt had the indelicat, | habit of approving executive mansion expense bills some unitemized, and oth CTS without vouchers. If bills had beer rendered in that form while I wa corrtroller they would never have beer paid"
