Response by The Tribune.
Mr.. HoIies Imagination, however lively ard
erratic, did not misead him in the premises.
We inferred that he had "gone over to the
a. Tammany Democrats from the simple fact
that he was coDsortiDg and coeoguing with
them on strect-corners and in their private
junketings-was largely boosted of by their
blowers On a great accession to their camp-hls
name was blazing on their handbis in letters
as large as n stove-and he was about to make a
speech at their great City meeting Was not
this enough-apart from the fact that he had
recently been Republican candidate sue
cessvely for two important Offices, and had
failed to secure either-tO justify our inference
that be had gone over to Tammany Hail.
Mr. Hoxie says we have urged the selection
Of candidates in this National crisis without re-
gard to party politics. You never spoke a
truer word, old friend aud do you happen to
know why candidates are not so selected Our
Republican State Committee, representing a
large majority of the people Of our State, in
yted the Democratic minority to meet us in
State Convention and select ticket of good
aud true patriots for State officers regardless
Of party politics. Their intent WINS to have
this principle carried through all our elections.
But they we're repealed by the Democratic
General Committee, in which Tammany Hall
was and is ropresenied-their courteous and
generous proposition not civilly declined but re-
jected with Insult They held a party COnven-
ton, wherein Tammany Hall was fully repre-
sented, and not merely nominated a straight
party ticket, but passed the following resou-
tion
Re,oivd, That while admit the necessity Of summary
processes and martial law smong insugcu populations and
