Chairman Republican State Central Committee
Dated at Madison April I'd 1886.
Mr.. BooTH, of the Free Democrat, in his is
sue of the 4th cuts loose from all party association
in language follows: "Henceforth let Us be eoun-
ted soldier Of freedom, on our own hook" We are
not surprised at this dete animation the part Of Mr.
b. He is not constitutonally capacated to wear
party sIackles. Understanding and comprchendng
clearly the end aimed at, impulsive and enthusias-
tic, he can neither understand tolerate the slow
and sinuous movement towards tie end which is
inevitable in all parties, made up as parties are OF
every shade of opinion inside of the grand idea. Mr..
b. cites divers causes Of grievance. lie does not
like the recent call of the state central committee for
delegate convention at Madison to appoint dele
gates to the National Republican Convention. He
fears Know y othingism, and thinks mass conven-
ton is necessary TO prevent the Know Nohings from
having control of the republican movement. He
thinks the republican party Of 30 is not was that
of 81 The latter was ono of principle manifesting
confidence in the people the former puts its trust in
politicians, rather than the people and its original
principles are fast passing away. Upon the whole
the prospects of republicanism look gloomy to Mr..
b., every thing in that line appears TO him to he go
ing straight to the bugs, and hence without aba!ing
one iot of his devotion to freedom he denies oil par
ty fcalty, and sets up on his own hook.
There is no necessity for the despoudcnce mani

not look at the matter phos OFFICIALLY. To our eye
