MANENT sECRETARY-A SCHOOL DIS
u. TRICT SYSTEM.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: It Is encouraging sign when Republicans
of every shade Of Republican opinion unite against
common enemy. and 1t is particularly encouraging
when they give expression TO their individual opinion
through the medium OF tho press. Tho remarks re-
Gently made by Edward NJ. Johnson in The Tribune
were read with much interest in Queens County. for
we remember that some Of the best work ever done
by our State Committee performed while he
the secretary. viii you permit me to make a few
suggestions to the future organization of the partv
I'm this Statel
First-I think the plan Of Mr.. Johnson good one
that there should DO one committeeman for each
county.
Second-There should be permanent secretary with
an office In NewYork City, who should receive salary
sufficiently large to enable him to devote his attention
exclusively to this business. He should have such
ofceroom as will be needed to receive Republicans
from all parts of the State at all times and the rooms
should be so attractive that Republicans Will be glad
to gather there.
Third-After the State Committee has organized. and
not more than ten days before election the committee
should be called together and the chairman and sec
rotary of each county committee should be invited to
attend and to report in person upon the work done
in each county. In 1884, secretary Of the Queens
County Committee, communicated with the com
mitees of every other county. and nearly every
commended this course of action. l then went with
resolution to that effect to the State Committee and
they unanimously adopted it. but for some reason 1t
was never carried into effect
Fourth-The organization, outside the cities at
least should be upon the school district system sug
gested by Mr. Skinner, and the canvass should be
made at least twenty days before election in each
district
Finally. each Republican should constitute himself
"his brothers. keeper and resolve himself into COM
mittee of to get every voter to the polls. We
need more snap more vigor, more backbone trust
Il may never be needful for us to fight the devil
with his weapons. but we want spirit OF reso-
luton instiled into each which will make political
thievery impossible and intOerabe 10 the thief who
attempts It, We are having the full benefit Of what
the Democracy are willing to undertake. The Hill
pattern Is the which, 1t appears. is the popular
one with the majority OF Democrats and the Union
the aw-abding people of 1s01-'02 need to buckle on
their armOr to contest revolution they did In 61
When this done there will be place in the Empire
State for traitors and revOlutionists. -
