licans wisely refused 10 disgrnca their State
and in}urc tho Republican party by becoming
the toole Of lot Of dissatisfied machine
politicians; and they rofuscd to nocods to tho
demands of tho 1mpfacabte newspapers to
paas resolution condemning tho Presidents
policy before 1t had been tricd. Thoy fol-
lowed the adviee Of conservative and fair
minded men like Senator k1nKvoop and tho
Hon. JAMES F. W1LsoN, and declined to pass
any personnl resolution either condemns
ing or approving tho Southern policy.
