Daily national Republican. (Washington City [D.C.]) 1870-1872, 1870-04-15


objected 70 tho "snap Judgment" In our
opinion the manner Of making the nomina-
tlon was neither Wise nor expedlent. The
cards Of Messrs. Crane and Cushing, which
We publiahed yesterday, have not tended TO
convince us that the Union League meet
Ing acted wisely. sHH 0.."H
There ls doubtless much reason Ia the sug-
gestion against going Into the convention
with the Bowen meni but admitting this, II
does not follow that portion OF the anti
Bowen Republicans should get together
unRnnounoed 70 make a nomination without
public notice to this effect, and common
invitation for the reform Republicans to at
tend. Certainly, there should be some
show OF regularity about II, and some COM
mon centre, whereby the voice OF all could
be expressed. Individuals or clubs can take
any course they please; but IL success is Of
any account, some regard should be paid to
the means through which II may be accom-
pllshed. a.HH ra.rH..... ...
We want II distinctly understood that our
criticisms do not grow out OF the least op-
position 10 the candidate selected. This Is
not our point, but It Is the mode by which
II was done. We are quite free to eonccde
to Mr.. Emery all that Is claimed by the
meeting which nominated him. We know
that he Is good man, distinguished for
high manly qualities, unblemished personal
character, good Republican, and enjoying,
in high degrcc,the confidence Of his fellow
citizens OF all parties. This Is high praise,
and we'll deserved. II requires no sacrifice
for us to endorse him. We do so willingly
and cheerfully. II he Is to be the general
choice, 1t only remains fer all good and true
men TO rally to his support, and he will be
triumphantly elected.
Bat We speak for the people. We demand
that they shalt be heard 10 this matter. The
Union League Hall meeting was composed
Of good and true Republieans-men who
stand high in this community; but they as
sumed responsibility which was entirely
self-lmposed, aud, under all the circum.
stances, we do not feel justified in recogi
mixing this nomination as binding.
We believe Mr.. Bowen can and will be de
feated, aud that the City Hall ring will b,
hurled from power bat let this be accom-
pllshed by fair, open means. Let the reform

The demonstration tonight In honor oil
the ratification OF the fifteenth amendment,
and In favor OF the proposed change In the
form OF government for the District oil
Columbia, promises TO be one Of the grandest
Affairs ever witnessed In this city, aud will
undoubtedly be participated In by the eitl

county generally. The object ofthe parade
