FUEsDA1 MORNING, JUNE ~, 1889.
The Herald upon the Duty Of Republicans.
The Herald has three-quarters column
article headed The Duty Of Republicans"
From this, il would naturally be supposed
-thst the Herald was going to tell them
what was their duty Not at all That is
not The Herald style TWAS never known
s get 70 give a decided opinion, and it is now
nOn-oOmmittal as usual. In its very first
paragraph it says that it does "not only
not propose to answer the questions the
Republicans are asking themselves, but
.Udoes not intend to advise in regard to
sthsh.e Why then don't it keep still alto
gether2 Some persons, in the Herald's
condition, have gained reputation for
wisdom by a judieiOus silence. It is a
hard lesson for such persons to learn, we
admit, but the end in such cases is GER
taiHly worth the sacrifice of garrulOus-
ness,
But the Herald pretends to give secret
history Of the Union movement, and says
thatwhile the people inaugurated the move
ment, the details were managed by men
who had axes to grind, and then it says
that the LEADER n the organ of these axe
+ grinding men. It says contract was
made to elect David Tod as Governor and
Mr.. Wade as Senator. The Herald says
STo accomplish this, the State Republi-
can Administration Of Gov. DennisOn must
be abused without stint, and without re-
gard 70 truth. BY so doing, Gov. Denni-
son could not be re-nominated for Cover
nor, and no Republican could be-
If the Herald means to charge that the
LEADEE ever gave itself to abuse of Gov
Dennison, for the accomplishment Of this
or any other purpose, it is a malicious, de-
1iberate and unqualified .faIsshood, as the
readers Of the LEADER very we'll know
The same insinuaton-whichw we can char
acterize as no less than a contemplate lie
lis repeated in the Herald's article.
"That clique openly bOasted that it pro-
cured the nomination of Mr.. Tod, and now,
because the second part Of the contract has
not been fulfilled, that clique, through its
organ, the Leader, of this city, repudiates
the Union movement"
..a We never knew Of any contract ofthe
kind; this charge is like the last in foun-
dation and spirit.
The Herald, as the special champion Of
the Plain Dealer, takes up our reference
to the positions which two men obtained
through the Union party, and says we
make it one Of the most serious charges
against the Union movement That is
also false. We spoke Of it as an incident
Of the campaign, and as one reason Why
the Plain Dealer had been and is 50 fast
for the Union. But the Herald is sensi-
a. tive upon this point. It tOuet t,es it upon
the raw, )" to speak of Office Seekers. for. ru.
ismor hath it that certain wire-pullinq
ssmanager of the Heyald clique is to be .
sseandidate for Congress-, and that he aad
,s his. organ depehd upon the Union move
nent to put him there.
Our object is to call the attention o
The people TO these things that they may

their own pockets"
OF course we will not intimate that tn,
Herald cries q stop thief to dwarf iLa at
tepfion Ofthe people from its own peoadil
loes, Il has nothing to do with Ofie'
holders or seekersI Oh, no. Its two pO
.-litical editors didn't 90 to Washington af
e ter Office, andnot getting it, come home an'
abuse Senator Wade and Representativ,
RiddlsI Of course not. They are honor
asle men, who wouldn't, one of them, tax

"a bit oft. 5
1--WE insist upon it that the Union move
ment never was started in order to ad
vance this man or that. Mr.. Delano, thu
main competing candidate against Mr.
Wade last winter, is as good Union mai
and as good Republican as there IS Z

We do not wish to impeach Mr.. Delanc
but then we remember that he made siren
uous efforts to compromise with tn
secsssionists,an and cried peace too long
suit the popular taste Of Buckeye Re
pubIieanism. I
We speakEfrOm no personal grounds Ehe
we oppose the Union movement. We spea
for the good Of the country first and 0
the party second. The Herald itself says
'eThat the movement has not realize
what its originators hoped is so true as I
need no argument"
1t also says tha the people were the orig
5nators Of the movement. It has acknowl
edged, therefore, what we asserted on SAT
urday morning, that the Union moYemen
has not satisfied the people. It viii not salts
fy them this year, nor any other year. I
is an unsafe, unwise policy, and will nc
be sustained by the mass of the Repu bli
cans Of Ohio.
