Address OF the Republican Congress
sionai Committee 10 fhe People OF
the United Sfafes-A Verbose and
Weak Document. z
| Especial telegram TO the Dfspatch.1
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE pronuncia-
mento of the Republican Congressional Com
mittee for the guidance OF the people of
the United States, which was premature
ly made public in the New York Herald to-
day, has been the subject of discussion and
comment both in Republican and Demo
cratic circles in the city. Senator Howe,
who wrote the address, seems to have con-
sidered it duty to make it document for
effective use In bis own State of Wisconsin,
where the currency and Granger questions,
two of. the three living issues recognized by
him as belonging to the mission of the Re-
publican party, are now uppermost.
The document in detail makes about ten
thousand words, remarkable for its verbosity
and weakness. The issue is squarely made
for protective tariff, opposition to recipro-
city with Canada, the complete ful6llment
of the intent of the fourteenth amendment
by appropriate legislation and the solution
of the financial question. No recommends
ton, however, is made, and no policy en-
dorSed. Tbe only assurance given is that il
the Republican party can find the golden
medium, the faith Of that party is pledged to
put it into operation.
The cheap transportation question is re-
gardcd as the greatest Of the issues, and yet
the committee has no policy to commend to
the Republican party. :. In WORD,
the boIdest, and only positive, stand
taken is in favor OF civil.rights. There is a
very suggestive paragraph urging Republi-
cans to elect only Republicans who are such
in principle as well as in name.
This is understood to be condemnatory of
| the action of the Virginia and Tennessee
Republicans in Congress who opposed the
passage of the ciyil-rights bill.
Senator Thurman, who was the first Dem.
ocrat permitted 10 read the address, says that
il ONLY requires moderate amount of firm
ness, very small capital, but boundless unity
in the ranks of the Democratic party, to
make the Forty.fourth Congress as over
whelmingly Democratic as the Forty-third
was overwhelmingly Republican,.
