The State Central Committee appeals for support of Wilmot Millward Veech and Lewis, arguing that electing their slate would curb Democratic policies, reduce state debt, promote public works reform, and oppose slavery driven by party leaders and Yale-like hierarchy. They contrast this with Packer and his allies, claiming their victory would reestablish slave interests and undermine labor and industry.
