The morning call., 1892-11-06
THEIR PURSE is CLOSED.
" Republican" Managers Give
Up the Fight.
THEY ARE DEMORALIZED.
They Dishonor Their Own Order for Advsrtis-
ing Because Newspapers Generally Advo-
este the Non Partisan Candidates.
THEY ARE DEMORALIZED.

The following statement appeared In the
Pacific Scandinav of the Sd inst:
The Republicans have given up the fight.
They see that only defeat awaits them
everywhere.
They have shut up the purse.
NJ. A Dorm, who has the man anagement of
their advertising, had hard task by means
of half promises 10 get the papers 10 adyer-
tise the party candidates and at last has
put the papers off by refusing to pay for
the advertising done.
He has so far been quite equal to this
difficult task.
Mr.. Dorm promised to be responsible for
the payment Of the Republican advertising
in this paper and now sends us letter in
which he repudiates his obligation. unless
we will take out cur advertisement of Nom
Partisan candidates.
The meaning of this ac ton on the part OF
the Republican" campaign committee is
clear.
AS the Pacific Scandinav so tersely puts
1t: "They have shut their purse; they have
given up the fight"
In all previous campaigns 1t has been
held necessary to advertise the candidates
of the Republican party eide by side with
the ticket of any rival parties, In order that
readers might judge between them.
But the records of this years "Republ-
can" cand idates, as creatures Of the bosses,
have been so healthfully ventilated by The
CALL that the mere appearance Of their
names is considered by Republican"
managers as impolitic.
If the candidates merely masquerade as
Republicans they may deceive the people, but
once mention "Dbble" and the waste-paper
scandal Is thought Of; once mention "Blatt-
ner' and broken pledges are suggested !;
once mention 'EastOn" or any OF b fellow
nominees and the names of Crimmins, De
YounsE Kelly and ''the gang" arise, like
Bauquo's ghost. to condemn the "Republi-
can" ticket.
So Dorm and the other managers of the
Republican" fiZZle. not being lacking In
certain class Of worldly wisdom, are with
drawing the publication of the candidates.
SO suggestive of bosses" and dives" and
criminal intent to plunder.
Incidentally they may dishonor their
orders, but what is the use. they think, of
throwing good money after bad?
The editor Of the Pacific Scandinay, a
paper OF wide circulation among the thou
sands of Scandinavians on this coast, has
correctly gauged the sentiment OF his people
ana makes manly aud straightforward
stand for bis right TO present tire popular
Non Partisan ticket unconditIonally.
He said yesterday to a CALL reporter:
''Mr. Dorm has sent us his ultimatum.
After advertising his party ticket for
would be responsible for its payment he
has written to say we must take out our
advertisement OF the Nom Partisan ticket or
he will not pay US.
He also says we must take out our ad-
vertisement for A. G. Freese. the Demo-
cratic nominee for Public Administrator.
and substitute the name of the 'kepublican'
nominee for that Office.
1--WE sent reply that we would not take
out the Non-Partisan ticket nor the adyer-
tisement for Mr.. Freese nor make the SUBJ
stitution he requires.
last Monday we appeared before th e
executive Republican committee, and there
MI, Dorm refused TO approve our BILL
I'VE wish TO warn every body not to have
any dealings with the Republican County
Committee or the Republican party or its
representatives-Mr. Dorm or others-unless
people are prepared to meet with the same
nwarrantable treatment that we have re-
ceiyed al their hands"
