New York Republicans.
Omaha Bee: The Republicans of
New York are nanifesting an interest
and enthusiasm which are an augury of
victory. They are preparing betimes
for vigorous and aggressive campaign.
The state convention of the Republican
league is to be held June % and 80, and
the league clubs are preparing to make
it the largest convention they have ev-
er held.
There is no evidence OF any disaffec-
tion in the ranks of the party in the
Empire state. 1t is true that some OF
the men who opposed the denomination
of President Harrison have not publicly
expressed their acquiescence in the re-
suits of the Minneapolis convention, but
is not believed that any of them in
tend to disturb the harmony of the par
ty, and that in due time all of them will
fall into line and do effective work
for the ticket. The nomination of
Whitelaw Reid for the vice presidency
| it is beginning to be apparent will exert
q wholesome influence upon the dissat-
isfed clement of the party in New York.
But that which will carry the greatest
weight is the fact, recognized and can
didly admitted by the Democratic and
mugwump press, that President Harri-
son is the strongest candidate for New
York the Republicans could have found.
Those who opposed him may be reluct-
ant to admit this, but they will certain
ly be compelled to see it, and when they
do so they will hasten to avoid political
ostracism by giving a hearty and ener-
|getic support to the candidates. No
Republican who in the present political
exigency permits personal disappoint-
ment to control his conduct, and by his
example or influence creates and en-.
courages disaffection, can hope for any
!, consideration from the party in the flu
ture. With the urgent necessity thai
exists for maintaining Republican poll
cies and principles, the demand upor
J, Republicans to remain faithful to the
= party was never more pressing.
The spirit that is being shown by tht
Republicans of New York will have al
inYigorating effect. upon the party gen
orally. A most important task dcvolve
upon the Republicans of the Empir,
j state, and the fact that they nanifes
S an earnest purpose to enter upon tn
work before them vigorously and ag
gressively evidences confidence in thei
ability to win, and the influence of thi
5 in the Republicans of other states vii
be very great. The activity, enthus
> asm and confidence of the Republican
4 of New York is always contagious in
S national campaign.
}. There are excellent reasons for belle,

q garded as doubtful state this year, an
