Most of these nen have been followers Of Com
missioner Willis and many of them members Of
the Republican County Committee. The list lacks
the names OF large number of Republicans who
are known to favor the Citizens Union movement,
but the withholding of these names is not inter-
preted as a sign OF hostility to President Low, but
rather as an indication that the paper was not as
freely circulated as IT might have been. The paper
was In circulation long before the conference OF
Thursday night was called. and many OF those VINO
were recorded as present in the reports yesterday
were present in spirit rather than In body Inc
resolution of Endorsement reads as follows:
The creation OF the Greater City OF New-fork
has imposed on duties and responsibilities OF the
serious character II that great CITY - Wen
sentative government throughout the world. III its
government nclines to or toward the pohtlcal con-
dered the people in years not remote, then not only
is the greater city made example OF evil, a by
word and a reproach. but the Int egrity or the state
is assaiied the honor Of the Nation furnished and
the principle of representative government dscreo-
fled In its final and its greatest test .
The supreme law of the State by separating iHu,
nicpal elections from elections state ana Nationa
has made broad and clear the teaching that the
government of cities Is to be separated ana extrl
Gated from the problems involved IN the govern
ment of State and Nation. And IT is extremely
fortunate that the first election or the oncers Oh
Greater New-York Is to be made under this ne"
rule and principle.
We therefore pledge ourselves TO use all honoraois
and proper efforts for the union of the elements anu
forces best calculated to give good government "
