He Has No Idea Of Going Over to the
Kelly CrImmlns Gang,
John c. Quinn was very stern and angry
man when interviewed by CALL reporter
yesterday in reference TO the insnuation
that he was about to take leap into the
Kelly and Crimmins fold and that he was
to be read OUT of the Republican Ali
ance.
de said You can put me on record as
stating that any suggestion that would affil-
late with the Kelly and Crimmins combina-
ton is utterly baseless ard untrue. The
whole thing Is as foreign to my nature as
that oil and water should mix"
After describing the circumstances under
which the Republican Alliance was formed,
namely, the recognition by the respectable
leaders and workers Of the party that the
methods pursued by tia Kelly Crimmins
organization would disrupt the party and
lead TO Its defeat IN the city and the
State. Mr.. Quinn continued: We
aimed TO show the machine politicians
that the respectable element OF the Repub-
lean party were alive TO the dangers that
threatened them. They came TO the PEG ple
at the last primary and spoke with no nn-
certain sound, with the result that the
keiiy-CTimminS faction were completely
routed, and although out Of the ITO delegates
the Alliance seated but 81, still il was gen.
orally conceded that we had legitimately
won 70 out Of 10. In view OF the fact tn at
the Ihird-street TeOple controlled all the
machinery of the party. having taken it up
where Higgins left off, and that they had
al the city patronage, this was considered
quite a remarkable result
1T was found that the Alliance had the
sympathy of the people in the country. as
the results Of the Stockton convention will
show, for every measure taken up by the
Alliance was supported by the country dele
cation and carried out successfully.
Some slight misunderstanding have
arisen between few of the leaders of the
Alliance, but they are entirely of a personal
nature. At no time have these misuuder-
standings had any influence on the work of
the Alliance, which has gone steadily on.
Our forces have been steadily gaining
strength IN all directions We are at pres
ent in better shape for a campaign than
when We last went 10 the polls
This talk about reading any one Oa8 Of
the Alliance is all bOsh. The little trouble
between Colonel Burns and myself has been
given more publicity than il was entitled TO.
l have met Colonel Burns since the State
convention and we quietly and deliberately
discussed the future work. ! viii say that
we are all working in harmony, and there
is no disposition on the part OF the Alliance
or Of any individual to read out any mem
Der.
II recognize in this movement. for which
l have made great personal sacrifices, an
underlying principle as broad and as deep
as the principle Of the Republican party
itself, and l cannot reconcile the undeTmin-
lug OF principle and Doodle with the doc
trineS to which / have pledged myself.
while / recognize also thar the affairs Of
the party are in a disturbed state. much to
be regretted still there seems to be az the
present time 10 unrayel the tangled skein.
and the leading Republicans Of the city who
have been the RarhoTses in the past are
unitedy coming 10 the front to assert their
prerogatlye-that is to say, their right 10
take up the matter and steer the ship safely
