also resigned. No republican can read
of these designations without a sincere
feeling of sorrow at the steps taken by
these gentlemen. To their united efforts
is largely due the grand success achieved
in the last campaign. The letters OF
resignation were rendered at the meet
ing of the committee in Washington on
the 10Th instant:
WASHINGTON, July %.
Hon. 7. Sloat Fassett, secretary or the
National Republican Committee-DEAR
SIR: This is to appraise you that have
today forwarded to Hon. William An
drews, chairman OF the Republican
State Committee OF Pennsylvania, my
resignation as a member of the Repub-
lican National Committee from that
State.
Yours truly,
NJ. S. QUAY.
Upon motion of Mr.. Clarkson the fol
loving resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, That we accept against our
judgment and with much doubt as to
the wisdom and expediency of it for the
party's interest, the action OF Senator
Quay in his resignation as chairman and
member OF the National Committee. In
submitting TO it with so much reluct-
Rnce and regret We deslro to express from
our own knowledge Of tho facts his
prominent service TO the party, our
sense OF deep obligation under which he
has placed the republican party and
the cause CT good government and pat
riotism in the United States. He under
took the leadership of a doubtful Gauss
at time when the repub- lean party was
disheartened and the democratic party |
confident in the power or the supreme |
control IN The government and nation, |
and when the odds of the contest were |
against our party; and by his matchiess
power, unequalled skill and resources, |
genius to command victory, he won for |
his party an unprecedented victory in |
the face of expected defeat. We know, |
as no one else can know, that the con- |
test which he waged W6s one as much |
Of honor and fair methods as OF invinci- |
ole power and triumphant victory, and |
that it was won largely by the power of
his superior generalship and unfailing /
strength as a political leader. In the /
great contest of 1888. in the months of |
severe effort and during years OF close |
personal association with him We have /
learned to know the nobility OF the man,
and we desire in this CONSPICUOUS man
ner 10 place on public record for the
present and future, as an enduring an
swer 10 the partisan assaults OF q de |
feated enemy, our testimony In 8ppre
citation Of his public service and person
al worth.
The auditing committee reported that
after a thorough inspection all money
was found fully accounted for and re-
that the treasurer's sc-
counts be approved and the committee
express to him its sense of great obliga-
ton for faithful and efficient services.
The chairman than read the following
letter, dated at Washington:
To the Executive Committee OF the
Republican National Committee-DEAK
FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES: Inasmuch as
you are about to reorganize the execu-
tive committee for immediate p-epara
tory work pending the approaching pres
idential election of 1892, and as my busi
ness engagements will demand all my
time and attention during the coming
year, ara compelled TO Eeyer the pleas
ant relations which have existed and
till exist between US. / therefore ten
der my resignation Of the office of treas
nrer of your committee and of the re
publican Mt oral committee.
Respectfully yours,
ISigned w. w. DUDLEY.
The committee Immediately adopted
the following:
RESOLVED, That while we are left by
Mr.. Dudley's own wish no other course
than to consent to his retirement from
the committee, we feel that his action
1eprives the committee and the party of
the invaluable and loyal services Of one
tho has proved himself one OF the ablest
and most faithful public men Of his
time, in every field of honorable contest
and patriotic purpose. AS O soldier
winning in his boyhood the stars OF
general OF the union army; as public
official serving with equal fidelity his
in prominent places; IN the pol
tical field, with like ambition for the
nations good, he has proved himself
always worthy OF the respect and ad-
miration OF his countrymen. In his whole
public career, in his unselfish services,
and with generous nature he has given
freely time and labor, never thinking OF
private profit or personal emolument.
His whole life is a generous proof OF his
manliness Of purpose and patriotism as 1
a citizen. Speaking from what we know
Of his rare abilities and unusual devo-
ton to party and country, we would ex-
press this grateful evidence OF what we
know the republican party owes him
for his services in so many Of its contests
and especially in the memorable struggle
of 1888. We part with him officially
with sincere regret, and in doing so wish
to put on the record OF the committee
this expression Of the party's gratitude
and personal friendship in which We
know he is SO worthy to be held.
The designations of Chairman Quay
and Treasurer Dudley were formally ac-
cepted and laid on the table, subject to
approval OF the full republican national
committee at the next meeting.
Mr.. Clarkson WAS elected chairman OF
the executive committee, and Mr..
Hobart vice chairman. The chairman
was authorized to select treasurer to
succeed Dudley. The committee then

publicans will look largely for direction
IN the next presidential campaign.
