THE EDITOR OF THE NETWORK AGE" GIVES
HIS VIEWS ON REORGANIZATION.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. | heartily concur In the Anti-Machine move
ment and approve the course being pursued by Mr..
John E. Miholland l believe that the Afro Ameri-
can voters of New-York have confidence in Mr..
Milhoand and approve the course he is pursuing
and has pursued in opposition TO the men and the
methods which have brought the party TO such IA
condition OF DISCRIMINATION in Nev-York County
will not say that the men who have controlled
the party machine in New York city have worked
into the hands of the Democratic leaders. but 1t Is
evident to the Republican voters of the county
and the country that the methods have become
antiouated and unrepublican, and that in con-
sequence the leaders of tho machine have lost that
confidence without which victories cannot be won
If for no other reason than that the machihe
leaders have lost the confidence or the voting
masses Of the county and the state tand uoh
think this will be disputed by any one) there
should be reorganization of the party in TINS
county and the adoption of methods OF manage
mont more in accordance with the science or politi-
cal management and the demands Of the Repup1-
can masses. who while they believe that machines
organization necessary TO the e'iectiNe 'oH-
due, Of a party will not tolerate such bosSism aS
takes from them entirely a wise and judicious
par,icipation IN the management OF the party NO

the Republican party in the State or the NATION
