REPUBLICAN DUTY AND OPPORTUNITY.
A LETTER FROM Ex-ceNsREssMAS MOORE. OF
TgXNEssEE-yEw-YoRK. NEw-JERsEY AND con-
NyCTiCUT THE BATTLE FIELD.
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: am aware Of the profound personal regret
at his withdrawal of the hundreds OF thousands OF
those who confidently beloved in Mr.. Blanes ability
to carry tho next Presidential election voted Tor
Mr. Blaine at the last election aud VIII do so again
II he shall under any circumstances be yet again mont
uatcd; but cannot believe 1t to be wise policy to
continue 10 press his name claims in that conuec-
ton. He has Just enough enemies In New-York and
New England and elsewhere In the Republican party
to defeat him in 1885, as they defeated him In 1854
Assuming therefore, my position to DO true, what IS
the wise course to pursue In the coming campaign
IL seems TO mo that there is only unmistaka-
bly, plain policy for our party to follow Our danger
lies in the superabundant and almost sUperfiuous
riches of our candidatial material We have not less
than dozen competent and eligible men who can,
with united Republican support, easily defeat the
great Bourbon free-tradc,' "one-term" advocate
in words and opposer In acts of Civil Service REFORM
public Office IS public trust etc. etc. We should
at set about seriously to seek the candidate who
can most certainly carry New-York, NcwJerscy and
Connecticut On these three States, as it looks to
me here, hinges the success Of our next national
election. Some Of may reluctantly have to give
up our personal choice. No matter. In the cstab-
shment Of the great questions Of protection to our
homo industries, living wages to our laSorcis, me-
chanics and artisans the right Of every legally quail
fed citizen to cast and have counted one honest and
unobstructed ballot say these principles as against
the Considerable, freetrade, bulldozing Bourbon bal
lot-box stufnng, hypocrtical Mugwump party, are
the ono supreme object which should now seek our
most popular man to champion.
We stand upon the threshold Of imminent political
and economic dangers Our narrow Senatorial margin
Is now all that prevents from fatal precipta-
ton into the Confederate theories of state sovereignty,
free trade and national humiliation. Who carry
the three States above mentioned and thus prevent
these Democratic dangers now alarmingly threaten
ing the country This Is the only problem Just
70 settle Tennessee has her views and would naturally
10 glad TO their adoption. She will not however,
stand in the way Of but will support whosoovcr may
appear to be the general choice Of tho Convention at
Chicago. She herself IS now about ready, with wise
management reasonable assistance and proper energy
to contribute her electoral vote to the Republican
candidate on the great questions OF protection and
national aid to education What We want is merely
q untod Republican effort. Mugwuhpery, led by
that brilliant and strangely inconsistent gruublcr,
George william Curtis has already gone over, body
and brceches to free-tradc, bourbon Democracy We
| should waste no time with them. They did all they
could against us in 1894 and then defeated
by only LOAF votes Let US mako no calculations
for their support assistance. They are now, by
Democratic ranks, where let them rcvel In their con
genial company We cannot afford to cOddle a man,
no matter how antecedently honorable, who VIII go
to conventions and after saying probably worse
things Of his antagonists than anybody else, go i'm.
medaely homo and devote his entire time and talents
to the party which the best years Of his life have been
spent In denouncpg. Let therefore, specially and
emily select candidate for the Republicans and Pro-
English interests. We have many Of this sort, but
we should diligently put forth the strongest Of them
