SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.
REASONS WHY DEFEATED BOSS SHOULD
RESIGN OR BE DEPOsED.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir The Republican party Of NewYork State
and Of this country have plainly indicated that
they will not submit TO bosssm The Citizens
Union was simply revolt against the system.
II other parties will stand 1t. the Republican ele-
ments OF the Republican party will not. lie II
good policy to have a boss who Is splitting the
party in twain. making Platttes and anti-Plattltes
and dividing up Republican ward associations into
factions where otherwise harmony would prevail?
Results show that the system Is going TO ruin
party. II continued
What is this system? II is this. viz: That
man wants men elected whom he can control. To
do this he necessarily get pledges from these
men in advance Of their nomination election
II they elected. what is the result? 1t is this
That they care work for bill or vote for a bill
iii they have seen the boss and got his approval
But where do the citizens and electors come In and
what becomes Of government by the people under
such a condition? We had a right here in
Mount Vernon at the last election, where boss rule
deprived OF our Assembyman. simply because
he had favored bill and advocated bill In the
last Assembly which the boss approved, but
which the people disapproved Is bossism which
loses us an Assemblyman benefit to the Repub-
lican party? And this is only one sample OF many
such cases.
Republicans tired OF II and disguised with It,
and suggest that every Republican association In
our State pass the following resolution at It's next
meeting and forward II 10 the chairman OF the Re-
publican State Committee. leader who creates
characterization in the ranks which leads to
defeat should resign or be deposed Mr. Plat
knows-even II he does not deserve it-that his
continuation leader or boss Is detrimental to
the interests OF our party. and II he loves the
G. o. = he should sacrifice his ambitions to the
interests and success of the party. IL we have
got to have boss let us at least have one VINO
has not led us 10 defeat But our regular organ
izatIons are all the leaders we want We want no
oneman power. whether he is called leader or boss
II our organizations 10 be dictated to and led
by one what Ia the use OF them7 simply
talking will accomplish nothing. Action should be
taken by passing this resolution, as suggested:
Resolved That the continued recognition OF
Thomas c. Plat as the leader OF the Republican
party will prove runous TO the future success OK

THE JEWS AFTER THE EXILE.
CANON cHEYNE's FIRST 1.EcruRE-rHE Low
TIDE OF RELIGIOUS LIFE BEFORE THE
ARRIVAL OF NEHEMIAH

The Rev Or. Thomas X cheyne. oriel pro-
lessor OF the Interpretation OF Holy Scripture at Ok
ford and canon OF Rochester. yesterday afternoon.
at the Union Theological Seminary gave the first
Of six lectures Jewish Religious Life After
the Exile" 10 an audience which filled the Seminary
chapel.
The title OF yesterdays lecture was Religious
Life In Judea Before the Arrival OF Nehemiah"
He said at the start that the Old Testament could
not hold its position II regarded as mere collec-
ton OF tales and said that he would trea, the books
historically. The Jews under Haggai and Zecha-
ran were poor specimens OF religious humanity
the weak remnant of Judah needed stirring up
from Haggai; the religious spirit had grown much
In the time OF the so-called Malachi.
The Book OF Lamentations is regarded by Canon
Cheyne as a collection OF songs for fast days The
idea OF jeremiah sitting down to write monod!es Is
100 romantic 10 be true. There were three writer's
or the Book OF Isaiah. according TO the lecturer.
VINO wondered that the viruent attacks made In
chapters XIV and XVI have ever been ascribed to
the writer's OF the other parts OF the book
Emphasis was laid upon the division OF the Jews
from the Samaritans under the harsh measures of
Nehemiah, and upon the helpful influence OF Manas-
sch upon the Samaritans, after his expulsion by
Nehemiah.
Dr. Cheyne closed with strong plea for a bolder
stand in theological research and Biblical criticism
He compared the attitude OF the modern Bible
critic with the attitude OF Christ toward the Jewish
law.
The second lecture will be tomorrow afternoon
at 4:3O o'clock. The Reconstruction OF the Jew
lsh and Samaritan Communities"
