" Republican City Nominations - Hugh Curry, for Collector, is also a good nomination. He has been a resident of Ogdensburg for thirty-five years. He is one of our sterling Irish Republicans who inherited the principles of '98, and believe in universal liberty the world over. No man has a keener sense of right or a higher appreciation of true honor. He will be elected, and discharge the duties of the office faithfully." [2]
