To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Eternal vigilance is the price OF liberty"
and the people of Ncw-York have especial need to
be vigant at this time. II the victory over bosssm
gained after so hard a struggle last November Is
TO be permanent. Now ia the time for Republicans
and good citizens generally to come forward and
prevent the bold attempt OF schemng politician
TO ,thwart the expressed will OF the people and 1t
would be done promptly and emphatcaly as to
throttle the scheme OF this wouldbe dictator at the
outset. otherwise II may require Hercuean effort
and another Parkhurst rid us of his domination.
1t hardly seems credible that with the knowledge
of the years OF determined effort and struggle re-
auired to overthrow Crokerism fresh In mind, the
people will meeky submit to the yoke of this man
who, with Infamous effrontery. proclaims himself
the successor OF the dethroned boss II must not be-
and 1t will not be II the people assert themselves.
May DR.. Parkhurst prove In this instance what
he did when Crokersm was rampant-the savior
of his city; and may our Mayor prove strong In re-
ssting dictation as he Is In name. Observation-Disclosures

Sir: r. c. Plat is a milestone around the fair
neck OF the Republican party. and should he cut
loose and in the political OF oblivion. His
name is a synonyme for defeat. His assumed dis
tatorship has always resulted in disaster to the
party and IL he Is not forced to step down and out
by the better element OF the party. the
soiiences will be ruinous. for a certainty the
people will more turn against II In their
wrath and thus will rid Themselves from the Pacha
