performed that duty by unanimously selecting true Demo
craic Wing, devoted and unyieldng friend OF Henry
Clay an honest faithful and capable whose personal
reputation aud past services TO the people constitute su
hcen, testimonial Of his abilities and merits, aud Of his
high claims public confidence The Convention present
TO the people, as the Whig candidate,


DUDLEY SELDEN,


in whom the whole community will recognize Whig re-
nowned for courage fidelity eoquence and high principle,
worthy of all the and emneny capable Of all the
duties Of the office Of Chief Magistrate OF the greatest city
Of the New World.


For such man. who In honesty energy and knowledge
Of duty be by denied be at least equal to any
previous candidate for the Office demand the votes OF
all sincerely protesting themselves Wings and WITH them
the votes OF all who truly seek the establishment OF just
vigorous and economical city government, vSiant po
municDll affairs the prevention
Of obbng and corruption the preservation OF the health
and peace the community the maintenance oil law and
order, the exclusion OF religious controversies from poll
tics and finally the retrieva and ultimate success OF that
great National whose claims on us as on our ass1c
throughout the State and the Union, can only be
strengthened by defeat.


With this brief and simple presentation Of these practi
cal nconestibe truths the Convention might be content
in reporting their action 10 those who commissioned the
N the old Whig party of New-York uutcd on
the ground OF their faith But the fatal divisions Of
the last eighteen months have forced upon our knowledge
the melancholy fact that the Wings of this City, before
united in purpose tremendously energetic In acton so
honorable wise and justly proud
ceeat have brought dissenson among themselves, ruin
the nation, and destruction TO the hopes of the aye by
the attempted Introduction Of novel; eNtrnneous, local is
gues TO which the party pledged, and which
foreign and hostile 10 It's original purposes.


party originated In this city, IN the year 1873,
among poron OF tho Loco Fecos who dissatisfied
with Tho appo of Office and patronage TO foreign
ors by Common Council elected by Themselves and was


ostcred and enlarged by religious contests and local excite
nents shared by many Hhgs. In November 1913. that
party the polls $500 ballo-suiicient TO reduce
tho Wing to little than 1900 and the Loco
Foco little less than l50G0 The abstraction OF
whg vot, enough defeat the Whlg candidates FOR
tho Legislature and for local offices with two exceptions
Had 1000 of those Wings who united with the seeding
-TOcos remained true TO their original principles
party weud have elected every candidate


In the spring OF 1914, tho Native American party
seuted themselves with candidates for every office Ut the
Charter Election. To the original Joco-Foco nucleus Of
that party half of the Wing had then annexed them
selves animated by the hope of securing efficient reform
in the City Government under the administration of
Common Council entirely new. and proicssedy ignorant
alike Of general politics and City affairs.


The Wings the Election brought forward lis: Of
candidates, against whose competency and integrity no
breathcd murmur. To those candidates vote OF
more than 900 secured until within twentyiour
hours ohe Election. But between the rising and the set
ting the Election day the adherence of Loco Foco
ism and the dread leaving the City Government another
year to the painful experience oLoccFoco corruption and
incapacty made tho instrument of transferring to the
Native ticket the 5000 Wing votes which elected it
sacrificing the Interests the State and the Nation the
peace OF the world and the liberties of large portion OF
the human race for cectoneerng promise of clean
advantages of the exclusion from office of all who had
Inherited the rights OF citizens OF thus country by the acc
dent OF their birth In 1t.


The result of our Charter Election, thus produced c
significant 1t Of the real character Of the issues
then presented and decided enough 10 create party
OF tho and character In Philadelphia which,
om the irritation created by repeated riots collected such
force that by coalition with the Wings In October it cf
feced change OF 6000 1000 votes In favor Of the Wg
candidates. compared with the result in 1910. The In
telgence Of that result and that coalition Immediately
struck from the Wing force this than 10000
voters OF foreign birth Romsh faith who were before
Arm and ardent In their devotion to HENRY CLAY and
Whig principles.

Boston. where ater dsorganizng the municipal govern
