REPEELIC1N REORGANIZATION


The Tribune has entire confidence in the wis
dom and discretion of the five gentlemen TO
whom the Republican State Committee has re-
ferrcd the questions which have arisen between
the two rival organizations in this city. They
are 10 meet today. and we presume ih'y VIII
give to both a fair and candid hearing. and
thereon decide the disputes between them III the
manner best calculated to promote harmonious
action and bring ont the full strength OF the
party AT the November election. II is unforu
nate that some of our Republican friends IN me
organization engineered and controlled by Colo
mel George Bliss have permitted themselves 70
indulge I'm angry threats in connection with the
action Of the Committee. For really ther" j.
nothing in the situation 10 justify such ebulli-
lions OF temper. Much allowance is 10 he made
70 he sure. for indiscrcct and perhaps intern
peratc language on the part of some OF the Ola
leaders. who have not been accustomed 10 hav-
ing their will opposed. their authority disputed
or thc,r MANAGEMENT criticised Nor are some OF
those associated with them who have enJoycn
unusual prominence from the connection ana
perhaps built up hopes of further promotion 10
be held to too strict an account for hasty "X-
pressions m resentment toward those who as
sent from their views.
The Committee would not. we believe, In any
circumstances be swerved from what they con
ccivcd TO be their duty to the party by threats
or attempted intimidation. They do not need TO
be told that Indulgence in that line OF argument
IS a pretty sure sign Of weakness. In this case
a fcw-nnd they are only few in number, though
rather mutitudinOuS in nose-of the 100 ar"eh'
supporters of Colonel Bliss have put their own
cause at a disadvantage. Ivy proclalmlns dr'iui
consequences To the party If they are not per
mitied 10 have their own way. Ihey nave
placed the Committee in an embarrassing posi-
ton. since those gentlemen cannot now concrd'
III. demands made by Colonel Blisss organZa-
ton without laying themselves open 10 the SuS-
picion of having been bulldozcd and browD'a,-
en-. II Colonel Bliss friends have any discrc-
ton left they will not approach the Committee
today with brass knucklcs or clubs or inilina-
tioIs Of future dynamite.
II Is perhaps unnecessary 10 say that when
Colonel Bliss's organ. The Newlork Mail ana
Exprrss" undertakes 10 tell what fifty thou
sand enrolled Republicans demand and must
have AT once and out Of hand. adding that they
have submitted 10 one pOstponement and are
lin no temper 10 submit to another" IL Is emit
ting s,lperheatel NONSENSE That very estimable
newspaper is under too high pressure As. a
matter Of fact. pretty much all The Republicans
who are lin no temper 10 submit have been
heard from IN the newspapers There are not
many Of them, and they VIII feel better present
". The vast majority Of Colonel Blisss own
enrolment have no sympathy whatever with The
desire of that gentleman and few Of his active
associates to assert their absolute control 81 HE
party by putting their heels on The ncckS 81
fifteen or twenty thousand earnest young Rcpub-
Leans. who think they have a right TO be heard
In the councils Of the party. The enrolled Kc
publicans in both organizations are perfectly
calm and free from excitement The temper
they are In Is II determined one 10 carry the next
election; and 40 far they take an Interest III
the local dispute their only wish Is that some
Of the statesmen who have been doing so inurh
work with their mouths lately should take rest
and let things simmer.
