IV. CONVENTION ELECTIONS

you to favour the public with the whole of the Anti-Federal ticket from
Albany county, together, as I think one of that respectful nomination
(who has very near double the number of votes for convention, than
the highest number of the Federal ticket, for the city and county of
New-York amounts to) very much disgraced in having his name placed
at the bottom of the Federal ticket in your paper of yesterday. The sit-
uation is rather degrading as no real patriot can possibly acquire either
credit or reputation by being connected with those, who, at this crisis,
stile themselves the well-born. You may also assure the public (notwith-
standing Mr. Q's assertion) that only one of the members for convention
from Richmond county is federal, and even that one declares himself
open to conviction, which by the buy is not the character of a fed.
New-York, June 6th 1788.
rm The above shall be inserted on Monday next.
