AN oLD-TIME REPUBLICAN WHO WANTS TO SEE
THE PARTY TAKEN OUT OF THE POLL
TIcrANs' HANDS.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir; VIII The Tribune give space to the follow
ing suggestions organization from "A veteran
Republican who was active In the party counsels
during the decade OF its foundation. from 1850 to
1850? The party was formed by the Wings and
Free Soil Democrats In opposition to the slavery
party OF the South and their dough-faced partsans
NJ the North The question OF spells was
ondary then The dominant factors in Republican
faith were patriotism and honesty As to Office
holders the rule that the Office should seek
the man. and not the seek the office
The struggle now going on is to rid the party OF
.ts boeses and restore 'he management OF party
affairs TO the rank and ii.e. doubt whether this
can be done so long the organization comes
from the politicians who are on top Instead OF
from the bottom, where the rank and file are on
ton on this point my suggestion II that the plan
OF choosing the State Committee ana the county
committees should be radically changed
Outside OF the cities in the rural districts let
the Republicans OF each school district meet and
select one OF their number az a member OF tho
town committee. these delegates to meet and select
one OF their number as member OF the county
committee This will give each town representa-
tive on the County Committee. Then let the dele
oates N the County Committee from the towns
meet and select one of their number as a member
OF the State Committee In cities let the enrolled
Republicans in each ward meet and select three
delegates to the City Committee. These ward
deieeates then would meet and select delegate to
the state Committee for each l00VO population
which tho city contains according to the last pre-
ceding census. 49,. -, Ia. -.
mittees and the State Committee Will be selected
bv The votes OF the members OF the party In each
town and ward in the State. and cannot fall 10 De
a thoroughly representative body IN whom every
honest Republican would place entire conhdence
This plan would draw into the party the best
elements of all parties now antagonizng the Re
publican party. notably the Mugwunps and anti
Tammany Democrats.
With such an organization OF the Republican
party in the Empire State other states would fol-
low suit, and the Republican party would soon be
come inyincible as the party OF principle ana
honesty There would he no further necessity Tor
the costly existence OF Good Government clubs
Republican clubs. Reform clubs. O'Bren clubs, etc
The bosses would disappear like mist before the
sun and the power OF the people would come 10
the front to command the respect and confidence
Of all men. ,,, -,
A few intelligent and patriotic Republicans could
bring such result about in short time by organ
izing a bureau In this city similar to that estab-
lished by the late Samuel J. Tilden when he was
planning to be elected President. ii. d. II.

mine. The bargain must be contaminated at the

sentative in regard to the proposed project He

I'VE are not ready to make anything public as
vet about the formation OF the syndicate l. VIII
admit that there is something In the wind and the
reports as you have stated them may be in the
main correct Our plans are not yet completed. l
will say. however. that in whatever steps may be
taken by proposed syndicate for the acquisition
OF the Anaconda mine, Kuhn. Loeb & Co Will take
the lead We have still some time left In which to
conclude the bargains.
He declined to tell the number of shares his firm
would take or Just what part the Rothschild Ex-
ploration Company will play In the proposed COM
binatiOn.

AN IMPORTANT RULE OF THE ROAD.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In your issue Of the 9th inst you published
an article Of much interest to wheelmen upon the
laws Of the road Wheelmen as a class travel
faster than horses. and the law in regard 10
passing when going In the same direction Is pos
sibiy OF more Importance TO them tran that in
regard to- passing an approaching vehicle. The
law is to pass the left in going and II wheelmen
would always remember to do this accidents
might often be averted II Is only natural That a
horse should shy when gttering wheel sud-
denly flashes past him from behind and when he
does shy it Is always away from the object which
causes his fright. by coming upon a horse from
the right there is danger of his shying TO The
left side Of the road. possibly In front OF some
one approaching from the opposite direction BY
passing to the right of those whom they meet;
and to the left of any one they may overtake. and
by being considerable enough TO go at a moderate
speed so that drivers may have some warning of
their approach. they will come within the spirit
as well as the letter of the law
