F. W. Dunton

New York, 1895

We used Mr. Dunton's name in connection with the Senatorial nomination wholly upon our own responsibility. Our opinion of him is too well known to require stating. No selfish motive can be charged to those who hold him in high esteem and so express themselves.

He is the logical candidate for the office, but if such was not the case he is the man who should be placed in it. This statement applies with equal force to every person residing or having interest in the First Senatorial district. There is no other man in either party concerning whom such a statement could be upheld, and, barring party lines no one will dispute it. We believe that he would accept the nomination, that he could be elected, and he certainly would disappoint no one in his treatment of affairs pertaining to the office.
