" ""iENTLENES:-fou several letters have
been Received, md the Executive Commit.
tee Of the Republican State Committee
have given them full consideration. We
are also in receipt Of the accompanying let.
ter from our candidates, which we for.
ward as part OF the general proceedings.
All the communications which YOU sent
diiier in their conclusions and can.
not be reconciled with each other.
The difference between your candidates
are so wide that they practically bar
any further attempt at negotiations on the
basis proposed by them. Our action in
submitting the four propositions which
embodied NIL the methods and principles
ever asked by those whom you ure called
TO represent, exhausts the powers entrusted
to us by the convention OF June q, which
authorized the Republican State Commil-
tee TO "adopt NIL honorable means to har-
monize the Republican party so us to secure
success in November"
The letter Of the candidates is us follows

elements OF the party. Without accepting
any OF the propositions submitted by your

mendation on the part OF the writers
thereof, to declare that in the event
calling II new convention, we will severally
forbid the Republicans OF Pennsylvania to
call upon us for our services as candidates
for the various positions to be filled BY the
people at the coming election. To say that,
in the effort TO determine whether or no.
our nomination was the ireeand unbiased
choice OF the Republican party, we must
not be candidates is simply the big qucs-
tlon at issue. We have no desire to dis
cuss this question in its numerous bear
ings. We have placed ourselves unreserv-
edly in the hands OF the Republicans Of
Pennsylvania. We have pledged ourselves
to net concurrcntly with your committee

remotest approach to feeling OF this
kind toward any person. We iraternize

pure Republicanism,un with this declara.
ton We submit the whole subject to your
deiibeartc judgment md wise consider
