REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE MEETING-At the
meeting of the republican city committee, held

tremendously discussed in its various bear
ings, and the following address was adopted
with great unaumity:
To me Republican Toters Of the City Of Worcester:
The city committee chosen in yOurprmarY meet
lngs to represent your organization during the
rent political year feel it their duty, earnestly to
call your attention to the impending municipal
election. We have to congratulate ourselves upon
the result of the state election. 1t has disappointed
the hopes of our enemies and chcered the hearts of
our fri nds.
We maylnow move forward with unbroken ranks.
assured of success to the great national contest of
the coming year
But it Is most important to this great end that
avoid all internal dissensiOns and in way af-
ford aid and comfort TO our defeated, but ever vigil
liant opponents.
For many years the republican party has admin.
istered the affairs of this city We do not claim
that it has made no mistakes in this administrations
but we are willing to compare its record with that
of the democratic party IN cities which have been
under its control.
The public expenditures may have been large, but
the growth of the city has been correspondingly
large, and no dishonest hands have been able to
find their way into the city treasury.
We are able TO see no argument why the Tepubi-
can party should surrender the government of the
city, winch is not equally applicable TO the state
and the nation Are the republicans of Worcester
less capable and honest the democrats of Wor-
cester more capable and honest, than their brethren
esewhcreS
Ii able men are to replace those who weak,
can we not find them within Onr own ranks2 If re-
form and retrcnchment are required, must we en-
trust their accomplishment to the democratic rath-
er than to the republican party? To these questions
there can be but one answer from those who have
stood by the party from principle rather than from
policy, in storm as well as IN sunshine. We make
this appeal before the nominating caucuses that no
one may have to say that, though neglect, lncom-
petent or improper candidates have been selected.
We hope that the masses of the party will re-
spond by full attendance upon the caucuses and
the selection of men who shall wOrthiy represent
the intelligence, the morality, the business interests
OF this great ana prosperous community Let not
the tmld, the selfish the time-servng hnd any ex-
cuse for def elton in neglect to give them candi
dates who can serve the city honestly and ably
Let us join hands, close up the ranks and put Wor-
eeser IN position for the great campaign Of seventy
two.
