NEW YORK, June 15.-The Republican

Independent Republicans, the members of
which before the Chicago convention were

which is to be presented to the general CON-
ference at meeting next week:
New YORK, June IA, 1884.
To the Republican conference.
The committee appointed at the confer
ence of Republicans from various States held
in New York February % last report as fol-
lows;
the success of the Republican party that the
character, record and political associations of
the candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States should be such as
to warrant entire confidence in their readi-
ness to defend the advances already made
toward digoreing the public service from
party politics and to continue these advances
till the separation has been made final and
com plete."
kn
the spirit of these resolutions by bringing
the views embodied in il before the various
conventions by correspondents with every
delegate and through representatives of this
committee who attended the Chicago oon-
vention. We did not attempt to press the
merits of any special candidate, but rather
to prevent unworthy nominations, and to
secure union upon any prominent Repub-
LEANS whose character, record and past
sociations would have insured victory for
the party.
Regarding the gentlemen who have been
chosen as the Republican candidate, 1t was
distinctly represented in advances to the
delegates that their records were open to
SO much criticism as to make their defeat, if
nominated, well nigh inevitable, and that
such nominations wsuld not only repsl In
New York and in the other Republican and
doubtful States, but would for time at
least drive out of the party ranks great
body of earnest and lifelong Republicans.
In the first circular issued by this committee
of date March 4, 1884, 1t was stated as
one of it's aims ito establish such communica-
ton between Republicans throughout the
country, and especially in the doubtful
States, as will enable the committee to lay
before the convention, with authority, rep
reservations of Republican sentiment fitted
to prevent nnwiss nominations, or, should
such be made, to impose the resp visibility
for the defeat of such candidates on thos
who instructed them"
This committee now leaves the RESPONSE
bility for defeat where it belongs, on those
who nominated the ticket at Chicago. Hav-
ing reached the expiration of the term for
which we were appointed we now leave
further action to fresh organizations.
The committee now adjourn sine die.
