and enforce this appeal


The Representatives Of the People of the State Of New
YORK disoaIdug al political dvi,iOns and waving for the
time being all party platforms and traditions assembled in
Convention at Syracuse the 10th September 1881 and
nominated candidates for the approaching State election
upon the single and simple basis Of unqualified support of
The National Administration in its efforts to suppress rebellion
end to restore the supremacy Of the Government in every
part ofthe United States.


Ia sid ofthe loyal effort thus initiated the Convention in.
voked the uuied Of all citizens Of the State repeet
i've Of previous present political ties preferences and
recommended the Delegates from the different Districts to
take suei action within the limits of their several consttuen
ees might be necessary organize the Peoples Union
movement and to insure success.


In pursuance OF this recommendation and at the call OF
their Delegates the Peoples Sse Convention the electors
of the city and county meeting the Cooper In
ste the evening Of Sept 25 1861 and after unanimously
r log the State Ticket took further action resulting in ap
painting Committee Of sixysix persons compOsed Of three
Dolegaes fom each Ward and elected to an
equal representation of the three political parties known

A, al tbe n
deayored faithfully to discharge They have assumed that in
this great popular the voice Of the People of the
Sse Of Ne-YoIk, unmistakaby demands that during the
present struggle all party interest must and shall be
senoed ssle that long the question Of onr ma
tona existence nation is a, stake there IS no neutral
goand upon which party issues and party preferences can find
place while many Of our eow-czen have taken up
rs the defense of the Government and many have
fallen in battle sealing their devotion to the Of their
ooany with their blood the least that be asked Of those
who are not the field cheerful and unsesh surrender Of
ali pIsn preferences the sake Of the great object
the preservation Of the Constitution aud the Government and
the enforcement Of the laws.


We believe tia. the tickets presented 10y the Peoples
Uron State and County Organizations fairly embody this pa
toic sentiment The candidates have been selected from
the cal parties after conference with other Noui


oe Convcbiions upon Of their personal integrity
capacity their tried devotion to the Union and the Con
suOn and Of their fitness to represent before the people
The great principle involved In the present Crisis


We appeal to ell fellowczens TO rally 10 their
support to discard all party ties, and by earnest organized
and gnng effort the election Of the Peoples ticket
by overwhelming majority There many considerations
relating State aud local interests which might properly
be urged in behalf OF united aiming as this does
to elevate the standard Of qualifications for places Of trust to
existing abuses growing out Of bad leg'aiiOp and to
the services Of good in public ece These should
not be sight Of and they enter into the grounds Of our
present appeal We nsst upon honesty in every department
of the GOvement-economy 10 public expenditure-Tedue
ion Of public burdens and strict accountability on the part
public But the paramount and controlling motive
spiBgs from the peril Of free institutions and thss regard
the safety Of the Republic which, ia popular Government
should be the supreme law individual well Of national
sction This regard be tested by the support Of
candidacy epesentsDg this simple issue. The right Of free
suffrage always OF inestimsble value, invested
with sueb dignity aud responsibility this moment when
is TO be exercised the organ Of individual prefer
political opuions but in defense Of 81 the most
cred rights and interests Of human freedom.
