TILE CITY CONTENTION.

The Republican City Convention last evening
was evidently dominated by strategic purpose.
1t was in no sense a convention of fnalies. but
frankly avowed that ii was putting up ticket
TO I've used if possible in future negotiations for
an anti-Tammany union. General Tracy in his
address made no cOncealment Of the fact that
he reluctantly took the nomination with the in
tenton of relieving himself Of the burden IL he
should find ii possible TO do so. and Mr. Qusg
declared in debate that the organization leaders
would not hesitate 10 advise any candidate TO
retire in the Interest Of harmony So while
separate Republican ticket has been put In the
field, and the foes of Tammany are apparently
ranged in two bodies with nharmonious plans
the task of bringing them TO work together for
victory is yet by no means hopeless.
The situation which controlled yesterdays
convention WAS most unfortunate. We cannot
think that the Republicans did wisely in going
into conference and answering the appeals OF
the Committee Of Fifty and the Purroy peo-
pie, who have done nothing to make IL hum
ating TO take their advice. with the ultlmaUm
that the nomination Of Seth Low could not he

cd more TO party welfare and prospects OF sue
cess 10 have taken NJ. Low. whose indepen-
dent strength IS unmistakably great. The blind
stubbornncss Of the leaders and the meek sub
mission OF the followers Is 20 no regretted. And
vet It need no. BE- wondered ~. The deplorable
lack of harmony is not the faux of the enrolled
Republicans nor entirely the fault Of the or
ganiza.ion leaders. However much 1t was to
he hoped that the follies Of a few rash young
men IN the Citizens Union would not be made
the occasion for complementary foolishness on
the part Of the Republican leaders, there is no
use denying the fact that the Citizens Union
made possible the present complications. Then
the organization leaders. bent more on consorv-
ing their vanity and personal power than Oh
furrheriDg the interests Of the people, met petty
proyocaton with retaliation and, working on
the partisan feelings of their followers, were
able to make the stand they did las, night.
From the logical consequences Of that act they
may yet be saved by the good sense and patriot
ism OF their candidate for Mayor. He invokes
n spirit Of harmony, and puts himself In posi-
ton to enforce it go far as the Republican or
ganlzaton Is concerned He can withdraw and
lead the party to such union as seems best 20
him. He should be met In the same spirit OF
Cancellation by those outside Of the Republican
organization who desire the defeat OF Tam
many. Since straight nomInations were bound
to be made, probably the best course possible
was taken In the choice Of candidates. General
