should be left undons to secure unity and har-
mony OF the party. and don't think II right to
enter upon canvass without an earnest effort In
that direction. II seems to me that for the pur.
pose or attaining such result all questions
should be submitted anew to representatives Of
the party assembled for such purpose"
CURTIS ON FoLGER's ACCEPTANCE.
Geo. William Curtis, In letter to the
secretary Of the New York civil service associa-
tion, says: Judge Folgsr's ability and character
are not In question, but his nomination Ii.
That nominationwas procured by the combined
power of fraud and patronage, and TO support
It at the polls would be to acQuiesce In fraud
and patronage as legitimate forces In nom
mating convention. Every good citizen is
bound to resist to the utmost such wrong to FREQ
Institutions, and the only effectual way In
which voters can smancipate themselves from
the corrupt and debasing rule Of the machine
Is to defeat Its candidates. This I believe will
be done decisively by the Republican voters Of
New York and Pennsylvania at the election this
autumn. They will see their party defeated
rather than fraud and cor upton of patronage
triumph. Events In both states show that no
graver political peril now confronts the coun-
try than the complete subjugation of the party
by INSCRIPTIONS cabals, which bride with
public employment and pay their way by filch-
ing from the public treasury. This is an evil
which will end In violence unless 1t Ia conclu-
svely rebuked by the people at the polls.
