Abstract

A Word for The Poor State

October 29, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

There is one serious omission, both in New York and in Pennsylvania, in all the Republican and Democratic addresses, speeches, and manifestoes which call for a state victory in 1891 in order to help the party ticket at the Presidential election next year. This omission is the failure to indicate the time and manner in which state or municipal abuses can be, without danger to larger interests, attacked at the polls. The utterances of the signers of the address to the Democratic and independent voters of the State of New York were on this point absolutely hopeless, and yet among these signers were such thoughtful politicians as Charles S. Fairchild, F.C. Barlow and Stephen A. Walker.
