In fifteen words former Gov clynn clearly and accurately describes che financial sitnauon of New York State We do not need more taxes, we need less expense more ye,ong and less log-rolling
 This the policy that Mr. Giynn followed while he was Governor and it is the policy chat Mir. Whit should have loioewd
 No other Governor since Samuel J. Tilden so thor oughls understood the financial affairs of the State Martin Fl. Gyun and his handling ol the State tnan. ces was the most praiseworthy work of his Administers. ton

 Why should a Governor undertake to oyerrun every- thng his predecessor did merely because he belongs Co another political party?
