STRENGTH OF THE ANTI MACHINE MOVE.
MENT.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The anti-machine movement appeals very
strongly to that independent and intelligent class
Of Republican voters which. to a large extent has
been of late years kept outside the regular or
ganization Conscious OF the rascality and dishon-
esty which prevailed within the old machine. these
men lost heart and confidence in the interests of
the party. and added immeasurably to the great
"stay "a home vote from which the Republican
party has been steadily suffering for many years
back. A splendid opportunity Is now afforded for
enlisting the sympathy and services OF men OF
that stamp in the organization which has
completely thrown of the shaclles Of the old party
leaders, and whose birth has already been hailed
with the enthusiastic plaudts OF 1900 Republican
voters. In this new party there Is no boss; there
Is no machine. The fashion of presenting a slate
as a matter Of form for the heelers TO shout their
approving aye. ayes to. will not exist In this or
ganization. This is not party OF cuckoos. 1t Is

question or critcise when they believe 1t for the
interests OF the whole party. Repubcansm has
