MAJOR C. b. HUBBARD, CHAIRMAN EX-
| lNl ecutiye Committee, Citizens Organization:
l have observed in the Bee of last night a
letter signed by yourself with reference 10 the
anticipated action of the Republican County
| Central Committee, to counter the movement, of
which you are the head, TO defeat certain can
| didates on our ticket-that is to say. that the
| Republican Committee will demand that any
| individual nominated by the Republican Con-
venriOn will be required TO stand by the colors
of the Republican party, and not permit him
| self to be made an instrument to aid in the de-
| feat of some of his fellow candidates.
The authority vested in me as Chairman of
| the Republican Central Committee came from
| the unanimous assent of convention of Repub-
and acted, and l assume you gave 1t your &C.
quit scence.
] did not hear your ssenting voice, during
the deliberations OF the Convention, TO any OF
its aetions The committee that called that
primary and convention were body different
from the resent SO i@r as composition was per-
sonaly concerned and ,enaIeYer may nave
been their acts, neither the present. committee
nor the candidates nominated by i.se Conven-
ton are responsible for, yet will say .uacrse
as Republican everything they did.
In the call for primary election that was
held on July 10, 1890 in their resolutions they
declared: That the qualifications required of
voters at said primary election, in addition TO
those required by law, shall be that tie voter
belongs to the Republican par.y, that he voted
for the Harrison aDS. morton electors at the last
Presidential .eetion, or would have so voted if
he had been permitted to vote, ans pledges him
setf TO uote The Republican ticket at The coming eec
ton
am not aware that you voted at the primary
; election; am, however aware that you sat IN
the Convention, in the same delegation with
myself and other gentlemen. and participated
in its deliberations, and am surprised that you
have disregarded the pledge that you yolun-
| tarily took.
NV vote in the Republican Committee will be
to make a straight fight and to require the can
| didates that you, with others of the Republican
| Convention, have placed in the hands of the
| committee, OF which am the head, to stand to-
| gether.
Iregard it this way: That the action OF the
| Republican Convention was not farcible, nor
| was it the action of men who were corrupted.
| l cannot believe that over 200 men, selected
| by the Republicans of this county at open pri-
| maries, were the instruments of any boss. If
| SO believed, would not for a moment further
| exercise the functions of Chairman of this Com
| mittee.
The proceedings of the gentlemen associated
| with you are secret; the action of our commit
tee has been always open, and there has been
| nothing we have done that is not the subject of
| the scrutiny OF the people of this county. We
| have endeavored to discharge the trust reposed
in US by the Republican Convention with
/ fidelity. and will continue SO to do. In an ad-
dress signed by yourself and others, observe
that you charge generally that our Courts and
juries are corrupted, justice is defeated. crime
| goes unbridled and unpunished." If l under
| stand it right, you address this charge to the
| city and county Governments 1t is rather
| broad and would much like if you would par
| ticularly specify what Courts are corrupted.
II you mean any Court that will be presided
| over by any Judge nominated by the Republi-
| cans, come out squarely and say who he is.
| With relation to the candidates against whom
| you gentlemen are striking respectfully invite
| you to put upon paper your objections to their
| integrity and ability in so specific a way that
| the people can understand it, for they have q
| right to know, and will assure you if you can
| convince me as a reasonable man that the Re-
| publican Convention have made any mistake and
| have renominated men not entitled TO public
/ ticket. Otherwise l will assure you l will not
| do injustice and will respect the implied wishes
| of yourself and the other members of the Re-
| publican County Convention.
