Mr. streeter-I dissent most heartily from the report
which has Just been read do not believe that It's ado
ton will tend In the slightest degree toward the accom-
pshmen of the objects which this Association has been
aiming at for the last two years We claim to meet here
as Republicans; that If the honest sentiment Of the
Republican party of this State can be heard it
will be exactly with We claim that we
are not faction in the party, o disgraceful
minority but that are the Republican party, that s
the portion of 1t that represent. Now to my mind,
for in petty way in any way, to refuse to send
delegates TO the Emira Convention is to acknowledge
that Just what the State Convention for the last
three years has declared to be. believe and think
know that the course pursued by the State Conventions
has been one of injustice, and that the course
pursued by this portion OF the party hiss been
in the main right; and believe that If adhere to the
principles have professed for the last two years we
shall ultimately triumph in that Convention. 90 not
believe the time has for split in the Republican
party. II do not send delegates to tho Elmra Con-

we to get our support but from the Democratic party
and God knows do not want to wait for support
from that for know that in past years 1t has proved
itself unworthy Of any confidence IT, then we go into
the field with two candidates, and the Democrats with
one where shall we be We shall ourselves with
Democratic President over u.s. If wait little while,
we shall SEQ q consolidation OF the Republican
parry and grand Republican triumph
at the coming election believe that the
true way Republicans act is to act with and with
the party, and not to go out OF IT, We should stay
inside the lines and fight our battles there; and be-
leve that every of common sense will admit that
we have now that other faction on the hip; we have
demonstrated our strength, and already the columns
that have supported that faction far are beginning TO
totter and the whole, framework OF the fabric
will fall within the next two months They know
and acknowledge all hands where they speak honestly
and In private that they cannot and dare not into the

ported for the last two years. Already what little
