HALL CooPERsTowN, Sept sth. 1914.


! Gentlemen Your favor of August 31st only
reached me last evening, and Izhasten, according
Ito your DESIRE TO give as early an answer as Possi-
Bile. II is so much opposed to my habits TO attend
political meetings, that1 have avoided them for the
last quartero of century, attending but one IN all
that time. The exception occurred this very sum-
mer and if any thing could bring me onsthe stump,
it would be 10 help put down the bold and factlous
party that is now STRIVING to place MI Gay 10 tne
chair Of State While do full justice TO the many
honorable men who call themselves wings, say
no more than think, whenI say that regard their
party as whole, as much the falsest and most
dangerous association of the sort that has appeared
in the country in my day. We have had taste oi
their measures, both in this Stale and Washing
ton and it is sufficient 10 let US into the secret OF
the means that will be used TO perpetuate their
power should they prevail in the approaching cleo
/ ton. God send that they may not, as beiieVe
will prove 10 be the fact, notwithstandng all lhel
shoutings for anticipated success. This county,
am persuaded, will do its duty. see Mr.. Greeiy
has set it down as likely TO go Whlg.-i consloei
safe for one thousand democratic majority, Deins
out of the power of the wings to reduce 1t mucn pc
| low eight hundred in 1S40, period when the DIS,
tress that pervade ed ttfe country told heavily agafns
US. Now, every thing looks psomisng and heal tSl
in every quarter of changes from the wing 10 the
democratic ranks. Cool heads among the demo:
crats feel confident that the county will give nj
teen hundred for Polk. l heard prominent Wing
| of the county say that he put the majority IRON
three to five hundred. This was said in New
York, and may be taken as specimen of the man
ner in which your Wings are misled by the exces
sive confidence of theil own people. l mention
these things that you may known what we thiDi
on the subject. l give you my real opinion, with
! out reserve.


1t will not be in my power to attend your meet


ng having business of moment to5keep me al
! home until later in the month. But take tht
r. liberty to recommend that you stand shoulder t
shoulder until victory be assured. New York Il


democratlc, and at this moment our political creet
should be determination to beat the Wings"
is good creed at this particular juncture,an and be
hind titles the security of the State the Preserya
ton of the public faith and the perpetuiY of our In
stitutions, in practice al least, if not in form.


Wishing your complete success, Gentlemen,
/ - remain yours faithfully,


! J. FENIM ORE COOPER.
