be siding to secure the defeat Of our party
in the o.ty, ~ the Republicans lost Ohio
last fall, aud the Democrats their eandi.
date last fall Ia Nav York, and also endan-
gering the success Of our National ticket.
l, therefore, Indicate to you, and to the
committee, my views, and do protest that
no step be attempted by the committee to
dig up and TO continue Old matters, Old
issues, or any question Of which CON.
mittee ia right or wrong, and particular.
~ protest against any address, believe
that the committee should adopt the basis
Of agreement for Joint action, There are
doubts OF our regularity. We can avoid
hononsbiy now any conflict for the future
by accepting the proposition. Ia the In
terest Of the party itshould, Ia bay iudg'
ment, be done.
This would destroy all chance for divi-
sions, and would iesveaail questions to he
settled by the whole party, when assem-
bied under joint calls. We cannot have
two or three Republican parties in st.
louis without destroying 1t. Let all seek
the majority rule and abide by il. We
want no one TO attempt to rule the party
but the party itself. Neither do we want
any act Of ours to destroy the party As
men, and as true Republicans, we should
not be afrsidto submit 70 the voice, will
and decision Of the whole party Let us
all refer TO the whole party all party ques-
tions and differences, and abide by the
result.
Otherwise we will lose the whole city
ticket next fail aud next spring, and have
Farreileys in every city Office In the City
Hall and Court House.
Let there be no elimination upon our
part as there has not been upon the part Of
the other committee CT committees. Then
there will be no recrimimtion.
II thsre is, we Will be held responsible
for fature party divisions and defeats.
The Republican ma5srity in the Convex
ton can be relied upon to control the
party aAdto settle ail disputes. There are
too many rseks ahead 10 split upon il we
keep up division.
Already the Foerste Committee have
the advantage BY their prompt unanimous
acceptance. ..h e..
No fairer proposition ever emeuated from
any condisting committees. Only joint
