You must by this time be convinced that
so far as the primary elections were con
cerncd there was no excuse fer any repub-
licap TO have refused his support to tie
nominees. As a matter of fact. however,
we have abundant proof that several hum
dre1 rppublic9rg deliberately banded to-
gether in secret conclave to knife the ticket
and did whatever thew could do TO con-
tribute to the election of the fusion ticket.
They did pot limit their actinn to often i've
candidates but they went for the fu ioa
ticket nearly from ton to bottom.
Why any republican in Omaha, whatever
may be his factional relation. should have
refused to cast his vote for Manoah n
Reese, still remains a mystery There was
not the slightest provocation or excuse FOR
such action. and vet hundreds o. repub-
licans deliberately knitted him and to the
scandal of the party be ii said that the
greater part of those were people who are
on the pay roll either of the United States
government or the county, and receive
their positions and hold their positions at
the hands of the national republican ad-
ministration and of the republican voters Of
the county You doubtless realize with me
that there are some people so Constitu ei
that they follow the principle "after us the
deluge;" they have held the offices as long
as they could hold them, and seeing that
some other republicans might step into their
shoes they conclude they would rather have
democrats take their places If that policy
is to be pursued from now on it is not much
use to nominate republicans to any office.

war of determination. Let us now take
look backward and see who inspired this
organized effort to defeat the party

We're told that quite number OF republicans

federal ofhceholders and men who were

spectacle anywhere? (Appiause). Would II
DOT have been more sensible to ask repuD-
lican ofhceholders to exert their influence to
pacfy the outside people, these who were
discontented because they had no oppor-
tunity to get office or patronage? Why was
it necessary to pacify Cadet Taylor and his
custom house deputies and subordinate5 in
the United States postotlice building? What
right or excuse had they to foment discord
and organize defeat for the party? Why
was it necessary to pacify John Mcdonald
