Assurances were given yesterday that if a

the party would be so satisfactorily represented
upon IL that II could not fail to win the united
Republican support The Rev. DR.. Parkhurst
such a ticket In preference to the ticket OF Good

jects of the reform movement was to compel the

Tribune reporter: 81 have been criticised for
making such declaration. but felt that there
had been a grievous mistake. The clubs were
not formed with the idea OF becoming political
party and yet the action Of the convention was
such as to make us a political party. 1t Will
have the effect TO segregate the votes of per-
haps 100 good citizens If there is no indorse
nent Of the ticket by other organizations, and
that Will allow another Tammany victory. That
is just what the enemies OF good government
would desire The convention will meet again
on Friday evening and l still hope that it Is
not too late TO withdraw some of the candidates
en- the ticket and form combination with other
organizations If that is not done will have
ticket of good men who were the choice Of
nine of the Executive Committee and it
cannot be supposed that such ticket will re-
ceve the support Of all the good citizens who
have been disposed 10 support the clubs"
