THE BOSS IDEA A SOLECISM.

70 REPUBLICAN REORGANIZATION IN RECON
c1LIArIoN WITH TIE BOSS.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The boss idea, in a republic. is a pol!ti-
cal solecsm. Indeed, bossism in any form OF
human society is inimical to mans free agency
no less than TO his moral accountability for the
right exercise OF his judgment and conscience
Especially is boss in the Republican party
Of this country a monstrous iEcorgruity and an
iniolerable affront. That party had it's origin
in a moral idea which drew 10 it the best men
OF the Nation; the educated, the moral ana re-
iigious classes at the first, constituted It's prln-
cipal adherents and its leaders were for the
most part statesmen and patriots. That such
a party, still retaining the allegiance. though
somewhat slackened, Of those high classes,
should become the victim OF boss vastly in
ferior In every respect TO the men who have
given 10 II ali its dignity and influence fills one
with alternate Indignation and despair.
There is a molal aspect of bossism which. 10
minds, IS more appalling than its political
aspect ]. is the exhibition OF an ambition
which, thrusting aside every thought or mans
final accountability 10 God. presses Forward

The Tribune is charged with splitting the

best described as splitting the boss. One word
more. II the reorganization Of the Republican
party which is now proposed is effected on the

his stick, but the game went merrily on
and nothing was gained during the time
1t took him to replace 1t. Several of the
in the air and Null Smith improved his
batting average by catching several with
his stick on the fly. About this period Of
the game the ball ran the way the Tigers
desired, and goals began to pile up in reg
ular order. A goal made by Bone was fol-
lowed by one made by Hobe on drive
from the side, and then Cunningham gave
place to Leydon. The popularity of this
player was manifest from the fact that he
was given cordial reception by those who
knew that the game was lost to their ia
vorites. Leydon came on like a man
shooting the chutes and was in the game
from the time the referee blew his whistle.
The last goal scored was on a clever scoop
of a drive from Bone, by him.
Regarding the game there is not much
more to be said. During the final period
the Tigers outplayed the Grays, and during
the game every man on both teams made a
deliberate foul or two, but 1t must be said
that the referee in the calling of fouls used
very good judgement and called only those
that affected play for goal. Had he called
every foul made he would have been very
busy man, but the game was clean one
and the only foul tactics indulged in were
holding. After the Providence men started
this sort of work the Tigers followed suit,
and honors were about even in the matter
of fouls. The audience was large one and
the number of Pawtucket people who wit
messed the game was large. The summary:

River team last night. Everetts feet had
not healed sufficiently to allow him to
play, and he was left at home. Connell
was sent In to take his place and "Speedy"
Monroe was on the rush with Russell.
Monroe was fast and that was all, not
accomplishing anything aside from max
ing one goal. The home team was full of
ginger, and played game fast enough
for any team in the league. The work of
the two goal tenders was gilt-edged, and
that of Curley remarkable from the fact
that he had no support whatever. The
summary:

The Salems play in New Bedford tonight,
and II they play with the same snap they
did last night, should win, especially with
the "Kid" out of il.
There should be provision made which
would make IL serious offence for player
to strike at the ball when il is the air. In
the majority Of cases another player is
struck. Instances OF this kind have been
numerous this season. Polo was intended
to be played on the floor, and not with the
ball in the air.
