quenty made In the public press had ade
quate conception Of the magnitude and enormity Of
the frauds ano Irregularities which have been per-
petrated In connection with the Republican enroll
ment and the recent primaries until the investigation
OF the enrolment in several OF the Assembly districts
had been made and the results tabuated
In view of these results there can he no
escape from the conclusion that the present
ment IL rotten to n degree never before
paralleled in the history of the party, and
that the primaries and conventions in many
Assembly districts based upon IT. by which
delegates elected to the County Com
mittee for 1896. unworthy of serious
confederation.
An organization based upon such Wholesale
frauds cannot command the confidence of the
Republican party nor of the public.
We therefore, urge that the organization Of the
County Committee for 1896 be not effected until
reasonable time has been given to complete the
investigation now in progress and to secure ads
quate relief.
Primaries the foun tn in-hcad of NIL rep,
resentative government. and the primaries
necessarily spring from the enrolment. II the
latter is fraudulent the entire party struct-
ure is tainted and unworthy of confidence
and respect This IL "a subject in which every
Republican. whether his name he upon the
rolls or not. is Interested. for all look to the
organization of the party to secure honest
conventions and truly representative NOM
nations.
For the foregoing reasons. and in the interest Of
the harmony and efficiency OF the Republican party,
We earnestly request that no permanent organza-
tion OF the County Committee be effected unit. the
