had to say When Mr.. Brodsky gave way Mr.
Root went up on the stage and spoke in part as
follows:
hope that no Republican in this city will be mised
from the plain path duty by determinations such as
we have just listened to- (Cheers) 1t is an old way TO
reply accusations by making accusations Inc gehe
man represented the With District here whose
manly attitude in shouderng responsibility which 1
believe is not largely his as he is willing to ADMIT
must ADMIRE has nevertheless failed TO answer the charge
made against his organization He undertakes to change
by saying that in this and that and the other
district some else has been faithess to his trust
II that be let deal with that some one else In
his time in dignihed and orderly manner tChee7s)
There is but one question here and that is whether
Republican organization OF the With District Is
worthy Of such confidence that we shall longer commit 10
1t the rcntro Of the Republican party
In that district. CCheers) These gentlemen by their
representative the Executive Committee last night
showed well with what spirit they would come here We
there by a refusal TO unfold the statement
OF alleged facts upon which they base their socaed de-
fence lrst IL would have given an opportunity

IL would have had the publicity which ~ VIII nave

endeavoring maintain their position faithful SER
OF the Republican party, but they are seeking to
emulate example OF Samson who tore down the temple
as he went DEATH (Cheers) But IL understand
temper and the character Of this party party Of
truth and honesty party too long contaminated by asso

by the money Of traitorous enemies and whose
friendship they do out to their political DEATH but
the temple Of Repubcansm. the temple Of that party
which has stood for many years around which

dure for many and many year TO come. (Cheers)
NOT QUESTION OF MAJORITIEs.
This IS not a question of maiorites mnortes. We
arTaign the representatives Of the With Assem-
bly, District because the Republicans in that district
fewer votes for this or that candidate We ar
raign them because. having undertaken solemn trust
because having pledged themselves to the cand
dates OF the Republican party, to the convention
Of the Republican party, to all true Republicans that
they would convey into the hands Of Republican voters

that this is old story. All We have forgiven
than We have trusted professions Of future hde
y many times. but It is time the story ended
We have had enough Of It.
Why Is It that Republican local candidates arc not
supported this cltyl 1t is because this story is
old, and the Republicans who have nothing TO
do with Tho organizations who think that
they perform duty by voting alone have lost their
faith the fidelity OF the Republican organizations l
do how any would have the to ask
his fellow-ctzens support by by voice the
ddates Of party which admits 10 its councils, to votes
IN its conventions TO the control OF its polls the who
declare that they deem themselves justified in selling
their candidates to an opposing party for money We
have reached point where must act way the
other We either put the seal Of disappoval
this conduct in the With District or We must stop
making local nominations.
We must have more County Conventions They
viii otherwise be farce and Our polls will
be manned Our nominations will be rejected with
by all honest and decent men, and rightly and
than THAI. of consequence than that will rank
ourselves by the expression Of sentiments by
