To hs Editor Of TAs NJ T'ibr..
SIa: In the name Of the German Radical Republi-
cans VIC beg most emphatic protest ssans the
following statement in your paper Of yesterday
"A good many Of our born citizens who cherish an
yet devoted to the Freedom OF Lager They would IKE
TO impo the Human Progress but hy must have their
collision between their habits and tho fundamental laws Of our
State This collision has taken about 5000 votes from Coy
h ing d aST n Of about 10 S We PROBABLY he
defeat Of three Il no, four Republican candidates for Congress
with other local disasters"
The sys,ematea abors OF this Central Campaign Club and
the most scrupuou Investigate into the state Of tho German
Republican party Of this city has given the proofs that but
ucr small percentage Of IL deserves the stigma OF having
abandoned the of Freedom Of Man for the Freedom OF
Lager"
Tho noise made by the interested leaders Of the lager beer
party had no doubt deceived you and many OF follow c!
CONS about their number Had you have the bund
rods OF faithful German Republicans who attended the nume
Gus meetings throughout the city during the campaign did
you know do the still greater number OF those citizens
Who without going meetings devoted to tho cause OF
liberty and who voted for yesterday you woald not have
spoken Of 5000 Germans OF the city desorng the Republican
banner ave justified in saying that not one fourth OF this
number has betrayed the party You put the 5000 deserter
exclusively upon the side Of the German Republicans Is it
Iuss in accordance with the facts to do sol You know
that not alone the Exoso law has caused tho dissatisfaction
hold OF by the Democrats your own paper has repeat
% shown tho opposition made to the measures OF tho Board Of
Health Among those who In consequence Of tho pssewor
thy action Of this Board became hostile TO the RePucan par
IT, viz butchers soapboers &C. there undoubtedly as
many II not more Americans than Germans. 49,
say furthermore that 10 these 1000 German Republican
desrters probably the defeat Of three If not Of four
Repbioan candidates for Congress let apply your
ton In the With Congressional District
Brooks received II 6T against 7 given to
Col IL Grand Cannon According 20 your calculation at
half Of assumed oO German deseers ought all
resided In that district in order 10 defeat the Repub
can candidate Bat Sir IL distribute your assumed German
descers among the seyer districts in which according to
they the Of Republican defeats tho arithmetic
will show the groundessncss OF statement On the
contrary we would state that Of the % i3 Republican votes
cast yesterday al least 1909 cast by German
Americans a. far a. the latest returns show. Gov.
FentOns majority will be about 5000 Had therefore the
Germans Of this city been fathess 10 the OF freedom
Gov Fonton undoubtedly would have been defeated wo who
have faithfully and 1ealousy worked for the cause OF freedom
and progress adopted country and will continue to do
have right to ask Of American fellow citizens just
appreciation Of the sentiments and the actions OF the great ma
jOrty Of tho German Republicans In this city.
Relying upon your yell sense Of justice we respect
fny request tho publication OF this statement In your TO-
morrows issne Very respectfully. FREDBRIcK ScBrIA
