In .national polities, in .so far as I am able, I shall endeavor to strive for the success of the principles embodied , in the progressive national platform. Therefore, I shall oppose the policies of the presentadministration, which I regard as deeply injurious alike to the honor and the interest of the American people. - v “But in this state the prime need is a good citizens movement, a union movement, to save the state from the bipartisan control of Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy, precisely like the good citizens movement last yearr "when by union the city of New York was saved from the domination of Mr. Murphy. I hope, with all my heart that all independent citizens, whether progress sives, republicans or democrats in their national affiliation, will stand shoulder to Shoulder for clean, nonpartisan government in the state at large this fall.”
