Republicans in New York think they
see way of settling their differences by
submitting them to the arbitrament and
decision Of new enrolment Of the bona
fde Republican voters. The regular or
ganization expresses a willingness to go
out of business when another properly
constituted organization is ready to step
inc it's place. and the different factions
will appoint committees to confer on
the subject Of a new re-enrollment. 1t is
proposed that the test of strength be set
tied at the new primaries, and if this be
done, it is hoped that they will be such
honest primaries as to leave no doubt as
to the true wishes and expressions of the
greater part of the qualified Republican
voters. Then when the majority has spo-
ken, let the minority gracefully abide by
the decision regardless of where the
laurel Of victory shall chance to fall. What
is fair and right should hurt no one.

Secretary Merriams report was exhaus-
tive in its treatment of matters pertain
ing to his duties and work during the
present year. The document was consid-
cred a valuable one to the associati ton.
Among other correspondence touched upon
is that on the question of tablishing a
tariff bureau, as a part of the national
government, to take charge of all matters
affected by the tariff laws and regula tie
them, and so to take such questions out
Of the field of politics. Another one is the
idea that, in view of the agitation and
business disturbance which is caused
every four years by the election of a Pres
ident, the presidential term be increased
six years and the incumbent be Ineligible
for the second term.
