THE TRIBUNE's OPPORTUNITY.

THE NEWS regrets that the New York
Tribune, presided over by so honored a
Republican as Whitelaw Reid. should
hesitate for moment in accepting the
ultimation of the New York Republican
state Central Committee in deciding as
to which shall be considered, of the two
rival organizations, as the regular Re-
publican organization for New York
city and county. The Tribune has sun
ported the Milholland wing and opposed
1.-The Committee of Thirty" The State
Committee, after careful hearing. de-
cided in favor of the latter organization.
The coming election is the most vital
In the history of the party, and to be
successful 1t must present an unbroken
front. Personal prejudices must be
sunk and personal piques forgotten
This is no time for dissension and those
who persist in keeping up fight
that can but end disastrouslv
invite condemnation and reproacb.
The Tribune is great paper and it has
its influence and that influence should
be exerted in the interests of harmony.
1t may be that all the rest of the Repub-
lican leaders are wrong and Mr.. White
law Reid right, but it is also possible
that Mr.. Reid may be on the wrong
side.
The Tribune has an opportunity to
secure harmony and to aid the party on
to victory. Will it do so, or will Mr..
Reid, like Achilles, sulk in his tent and
help destroy the party that he has
honored, and which in turn has honored
him?
There is plenty of opportunity to fight
the enemy without seeking for cause to
quarrel in our own ranks.

1T FAVORS ENGLISH.
Novel Doctrine Advanced i'm Con-
testing Hilborn'S Seat.
The Word of a Voter Is Considered
Better Testimony Than
His Ballot.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE contested
election case of English VS.. Hilborn came
up for final determination at special
meeting of The Committee on Elections to-
day. The Republicans presented a solid
front in favor of the sitting member and
contended that there was absolutely
nothing in the history of the case that
could justify the committee in deciding
for the contestant. The action of the COM
mittee in giving the vote of Clarks sburg to
Hilborn and ignoring the charges of irreg-
ularities in San Pablo precinct and the
Seventh Ward of Oakland, il was claimed,
left but one issue, whether oral testimony
should be accepted in preference to the
ballots in determining the result In Alta
mont. They said that no charge was
directly made that fraud was committed
in that precinct. for no one who voted for
Hilborn was in a position to commit fraud,
and il any was perpetrated it was done by
his opponents. All the officers of election
who had anything to do with the canvass of
the votes on election day had sworn that
they voted for English. The minority in
sisted that there was absolutely no pre-
cedent in the records Of Congress, and GER
tainly no principle in law under which the
majority would be justified in disregardng
the ballots and accepting the voters word
for their action. Such doctrine was in
conflict with ali decided cases and would
excite general criticism.
The majority of the committee, without
attempting to meet these objections or
offer any explain alton. concluded that the
testimony of a voter was better eviden ce
than his ballot. and the case was decided
by a strict party vote. The full com mittee
is composed of fifteen members. nine Dem
ocrats and six Republicans. The final
vote stood six for English and five for
Hilborn. One Republican. Taylor of
Tennessee, who would have voted for Hill
born, was paired with Lockwood, who
favored English. Two Democrats, Wood.
ard and Jones. did not vote.
Brown of Indiana, il is said, will submit
the majority report. 1t is bound to bring
on heated discussion, as the position is
novel and dangerous. A minority repor,
will be made by the Republican members
of the committee, and a result will be
reached only after fight Hilborn is
personally very popular on both sides of
the House, and will likely get more tha n
his party vote.
