there was an attempt to antagonize the
senator or dispute with him his leader
ship. All thoughts to the contrary were
born of untruthful information and foolish
advice of some of the senator's present
followers. There is not. and never has
been, any warrant for the senator's pres
ent attitude of hostility. The division now
In the party's councils Is causeless, use
less and bootless. It will do no good to
the Republican party Of the state and may
do great deal Of harm to those who are
responsible for 1t. II Senator Quay is
successful In asserting his absolute su-
premacy, what has he gained? No one
disputed that before. II the fight IL fought
to a finish. his supremacy is asserted at
the sacrifice OF party harmony and with
antagonismsf which will rear themselves
at every step In the future. II. however.
the distinguished senator IL not the VIC
tor In the contest. his star will have fallen
as a leader; his power. once shaken. will
be gone forever. He will find. ~ others
, have found. that the magic Of q name
which is stained by defeat no longer at
tracts. and that men who are now his
friends will be his followers no further.
Senator Quay has not manifested In the
present exigency that wisdom and diplo-
macy by which he has become famous.

need be no retreat. The Republican party
demands that the leaders shall get to-
gether and bring harmony out Of the pres
'ent threatened chaos"
Judge G;lkeson has replied to Con-
gresham Jack" Robinsons recent letter
inquiring as to the management OF last
falls campaign and also asking by what
authority the coming state convention was
called for Aug. 2S Mr.. Gilkeson says that
he fixed the date for the state convention
in obedience to the written authority COM
municated to him by l03 out Of the l2l
members OF the state committee, among
them being Mr.. Robinson himself. The
state chairman adds: "ln reply to the sec
ond part of your letter, requesting u state
ment of all the moneys collected. and an
itemized statement Of the disbursements
made by me as state chairman during the
last campaign. I have to say that the fur
n!shing of any statement as requested has
not been in practice In this respect
am following the course of former state
chairmen, to wit: Hon. Russell Errett,
Hon. Henry NJ. Hoyt. Hon. NJ. s. Quay
during his two years of. service), Hon.
John Cessna, Hon. Thomas V. Cooper
during his long period of service), Hon.
William II. Andrews and General Frank
Reeder. and hence l am content to fol-
low the example of my distinguished pre-
decessors."
