Kernan, Francis, Utica, New York, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1874 September 19

He is aware that McMaster is not partial to his candidate for governor, but nevertheless he takes the liberty to write to him with reference to the candidate. In 1872 when Kernan allowed his name to go before the Democratic nomination because of his creed. Mr. Samuel Tilden stood up against any such objection and said he should be nominated to vindicate religious freedom and equality. He thinks their candidate will make a good governor. He will feel grateful if McMaster will omit to say anything against him in the canvass. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
