liofqiltalltyf When thoyvout through my
liouw last year and found a, condition of
thing which would havo moved tho stoniest
Lrart, what did thoy do! Thoy Molou valu
nlilo autograph allium w hlr.li had Imvii i-ent

nnd then thoy loft tho gatn o)eu o that ihiwv

Now I am asked to mo my inlliicnco in tho
direction of lietter wind hag facilities for
burghm ami n more ivllalilo tylo of rapid
traimlt between tho tax jioyer and tho Now
Jcrumdom.
In yoan pat 1 will admit that I wa run

things that would retain tho burglar vote,
but now I nut llrm In my convlctloiit ami
utpokcu for what 1 dellovo to Ihi right. A

I now propo-io, with tho help of tho Ameri

my part, to shako off thoMurglar and como
out and tako higher ground. Henceforth mj

HuTKlars who may havo voted for mo In

as It U in iny power, diuiug tho reiiuilnlng

tration of capital puiiUhment will noon bo
perfected, whereby a man who hioxccutod by
tho law will not bo entitled to any moro
glory of flowon tlinn one w ho dies of pneu
monia. To that cud I am willing to work.
Vhon that in aecoinpllhod I will ilo vote my
halting powers to tho further amelioration of
our race. Hut tho burglar has no further
political claims on me.
Men who vUlt Now York from a dlstonco
desiring to purehnw greenbacks at forcetl
alo or to obtain gold brickn of tluwo who aro
compclleil to noil them for a mero nong, will
always Ik ameliorate! I oolong ok my good
right arm shall not forget her cunning.
I am willing to do what I can for tho pro
motion of Helenee and tho painless pulling of
burglant, but this 1j as far as I would go.
Moreover, I hope that our correK)iidenoo
will not contlmio any longer, llurglars who
pleased and entertained mo when I was la
politics havo long fctneo ceased to do so. The
truth of tho matter is that while all other
professions havo mado rapid progrc, )Kli
tics and burglary aro Just where thoy woro
100 years ago.
Ono reason why burglary has not mado
moro rapid strides I bcliove to bo because
burglars do not advcrtlso. Thoy roly solely
upon their insight and keen penetration. Tho
result Is that burglars and burglary havo
fallen off. I do not bcliovo in trying to help
a , profession so abundantly ablo to help
itself.
