publican Committee In settling the Re-
publican dispute in this state, have been
|mischievously misleading This, how
ever, Is the usual newspaper way Of
treating anything relating to
Union Republican politics. The impress
sion has gone out that the members OF
the committee turned their backs on tho
Union Republicans and deliberately
lsnubbed them in the vote takenup the
Delaware matter. None of this is true
The decision OF the committee was sim
ply that It was incxpedient to bring
any such disputes into the range Of the
committees work, and referred II to
Chairman, Hanna with the understand
ing that he would try to bring about a
settlement of the trouble Every mem
Der OF the committee to whom the
Union Republican delegates spoke,
commended them for their liberal
propositions Among these was Chair
man Hanna himself There was a very
noticeable change OF sentiment in the
committee regarding the Delaware mat
ter This Is true. But in saying il we
are not claiming that the committee
will, or can do anything that Will be
helpful toward Republican harmony
and success. This has been done The
Union Republicans have made 20 the
creature Of the National Convention
which rejected their delegates in 1896,
the only practical plan for harmony.
In doing this they have done every
thing which honorable men can be ex-
pected to do. They rest their casethere.
They have begun their campaign with
the odds in favor Of getting together
