The action Of the committee at this time when
the Tammany Hall papers are displaying daily
in big black headlines the announcement that the
Republicans Of this city would not support the
union ticket will probably put stop to thAs
sort of thing. Another trick which the Tammsny
papers have been playing lately. and which In
one instance will probably cease from now out u
the publication Of the expressions Of Republicans
who favored straight ticket, made before tho
Republican County Convention indorsed the union
ticket, as having been made recently. One paper
has taken a paragraph from an interview with
Cornelius N. Bliss. given some time ago. and.
putting his name under it. published IL
as his present views. Mr.. Bliss Is In
favor Qf the Anti-Tammany ticket, and like the
rest of The Republicans Of this city will vote and
work for it, In the following letter, Which he
sent yesterday to Wheeler H. Peckham. chair
man Of the Peoples Municipal League, Mr. Bliss
explains his position clearly:
Since writing brief you this afternoon have
the circular exhibited to me has been widely
distributed among Republican friends, ineosed With
Tammany campaign documents, such - Mayor Grant .
letter etc., etc. Tho interview nom which the circular
was up general expression OF my vtews but IN
the paragraph has been transp6sed and printed -
signed by for present To be dennite tho crcu'
simply political trick, and denounce II - such
whoever Is responsible for its issue.
As YOU know strongly favored . stssiGht Republican
ticket for municipal ocszs, but fans % hsss has nsvs
been quesnoa In mind - to which e the two eekea
ought to receive tho votes 6 Republicans A pfivsss
individual have felt It incumbent me 70 make
public declaration OF my p~ston but In consderseion o.
the attempt nsrepresen me IL Il duo to myself tAst
state you for such you choose to mako q e $40
ment that support present municipal canvass the
regular Republican headed by Francis NJ Scoes for
and afandrq
remaining days Of the campaign business engage
ments will permit.
Mr.. Bliss is going further than this to show
his interest in this campaign. He will be the
presiding officer of the great Republican mass
meeting which will be held at the Cooper Union
tomorrow night All the arrangements for this
meeting have been practically completed. The
