leans who have connected themselves with il 10
declare against it and TO present il in the true
light as the ally Of Tammany and the enemy OF
every cause which good citizen should hold dear
i on the other hand it will abandon rs third
ticket idea and abandon the effort 70 force the
nomination of a particular individual, ana seek
with Us TO fix upon that platform and those can
diGaCies which promise TO bring about the com
pletest possible union of the anti-Iamnany voters
We shall welcome its assistance accept It's iileho-
shin and extend TO it our cordial cooperation. The
first step in this sound and patriotic course IS the
resembling by its Committee on organization OF
the Potts resolution declaring the Unions purpose
70 nut a third ticket in the field While that reso-
luton remains in force the Republican party can
make no distinction between a member OF TAM
many Han and a member of the citizens Union.
They are equally hostile and equally out Of place
IN the Republican organization, and the attempt on
the part of either to vote at our primaries Is
penal ofcnse, punishable by fine and impr!son-
