SENSIBLE TALK
From a Patriotic Young Republican
Who dominates a Winner
for Congress.

II
My attention was called lately
to a communication in your paper
regarding the Republicans of this
district getting together and max,
ing solid fight in the coming
Congressional campaign. / am not
in the habit of airing my views in
the public press, but as a good and
consistent Republican, and one
who has voted said ticket since the
nomination and triumphant cleo
ton of Jas. G.. Garfield, and who has
voted this ticket, not for personal
gain, but from pure principle, and
on the basis that the Republican
party embraced in their principles
and acts that which has tended,
more than anything else, to make
our country prosperous, that has
ever protected the wage worker,
and under whose various admins
trations since the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln, our republic has been
a prosperous one for all our people,
rich and poor alike.
Having;.,at all times since my
Dist year, aided said party, both
with my purse and voice, under
these conditions l believe you will
be kind enough to publish this
communication. l want to see the
Republican party in the aScenden-
CIV. | believe the people are tired
of the Cleveland regeme, and ara
only too glad to place the Republi-
can party in the majority in our
next Congress. Not only will r.
publicans vote for congre IS men
nominated by Republican con-
ventions, but Democrats, whose
eyes have at last been opened,
will forsake the Democratic ma
chine and vote for Republican
candidates. But, bark you; the
rising young man who is about to
cast his first Republican vote, and
the Democrat who will vote for
Republican, believing that the
principles and platform Of said
party is the only means of killing
effectually these hard times,
brought about by tariff tinkering,
will certainly not cast their bal
lots for professional pap suckers
and chronic office seekers. 1t is
high time these professional poll
ticians were buried, not again to
arise, until Gabriel blows his horn.
While, personally, l have nothing
in the world against Judge Jack
Evans, Hon. G.. w. Ogden, Sam
Johnson and the crew that always
cry harmony before an election, so
that they may parcel out the
officers for themselves and their
henchmen, yet, if you wish har-
mOny, if there are to be no "Lily
Whites" and Ebony Blacks" then
| say that call to our people must
be taken in hand by our young
element Of Republicans who have
not been for years in one form or
another upon the pay roll of Uncle
Sam. With a united party, led by
young men not for greed but for
principle, we can beyond the
shadow Of doubt, elect a
Republican to Congress from this
district next November. The
question now arises who is the
man that can unite all dissatisfied
Republican factions in this con-
gressional district, that can con-
troll the young man who casts his
first ballot, for whom Democrats
will vote and who will protect the
interests Of his constituents, be
they measures brought forth by
Dem ocrat or Republican. have
in my minds eve such a man.
Whether he would consent to leave
a position to which the people of
our city have elevated him time
and time again, Democrats and
Republicans alike, this, Of course
cannot say as | am not authorize d
to speak for him; but il a demand
by all good citizens of this con-
gressiOnal district were made upon
him, showing him the people were
sincere in their love and devotion
to him, that they had full faith in
him, that they wished him to guard
ZealOusly their interests at Wash.
ingtOn, then | believe his love for
the people Of this district would
assert itself, and he would
in perfect confidence place
his faith in the people and accept a
nomination at their hands. re.
fer to the Hon. GEO. II. NOONAN,
that grand old jurist and friend OF
the people, of whom it truly can be
said, he had not an enemy.
Now, you Republicans, who wish
harmony and success upon your
banners, don't you think your
wishes could easily be accom-
plished by placing Judge NoOnar
