II was found that the business of the asso-
citation had suddenly ended. and The editors
seemed to be delighted thercat. Elitor John
l. platt. one Of the few editors who arrived
early. made n speech in which he advocated
unity among Republican editors. He wanted
them TO drive together on one limo iastsai vi
scattering their fire. and pointed to methods
employed in Samuel J. Tilden's time to show
tho value OF such work. lie said that the
very arguments used Ivy Republican editors
were often turned by tho enemy into weapons
against them. The Democratic papers con-
centratod their power on one point. with the
result that the people we're kept thinking and
talking about one thing. 1t was this policy
that produced victory. The campaign OF 1892
illustrated the effects Of this work. Concern
ing the Hawaiian affair Mr.. Plat said:
What arc tho Democrats doing now7 Look
at the awful plumbers made by Mr.. Cleveland.
and now by force OF numbers and unanimity
OF action the Democratic papers are making
everybody believe that Minister Stevens Is re-
sponsible for 1t all. and We are not denying IL
as we should"
Editor Murat Halstead OF the Brooklyn
Standard GHion pointed to what he called tho
Republican revolution in Brooklyn by which
Democratic majority OF 20 900 was changed to
a Republican majority OF 30. 900. as an Illus
trntion of what could be done.
Tine only other feature OF tho business pro-
gramme was the theft OF Editor william J.
Helms overcoat. Editor Klein comes from
Amsterdam. which. as no says. is a very dull
town Just now because OF tho Wilson bill.
Overcoats are overcoats In these times. and
when lie found his silk lined beaver missing
from tho room he thought that reform should
begin right there.
The editors were received at the Republican
Club at $50 Fifth avenue from until o'clock.
