To the Editor of tlie Sun : Sik - Having rooeived of late sevorul invitations to addreHS political meetings, it seems to me iny duty to doolare, for the purpose of avoiding all niisunderstanditig, that the principie and polioy laid down in the Democratie platfoim, and the letters of aooaptanco of Tilden and Hendricks, are in accordance with the views which on many occasions I have expressed and defended, privately and publicly. I should be faithloss to myseli by not upholding and defending thein now, in the hour of trial, and therefore nhall give my support in this eleotion to the Prosidantial ticket adopted by the Democratie Conven tion. In taking thig step, I desire, however, to add thdt I shall not renounce independent aotion in political mattors relativo to our own State and city, wlionever questious of uational poliuy of paramnunt importance are not involved. By publishing thiscard you will oblige Yours, very respectfully, F. Skjel. New York, Aug. 8, 1876. riGHTINO JOE HOOKËK TO TUK l'UONT.
