The record-union., 1899-02-13

way out is for the Republicans TO enter
a caucus and choose good man speed
lily.
A. E. Fox, dairy goods, 1883 Broad
way-This battle between Republican
aspirants for Democrats present sta
ton should be transferred to the caucus
chamber.
B. H Swan, electrician-For the good
of the party and of the country some
thing ought to be done to settle this
Senatorial difficulty. If the delegates
from the county come back without
having a decision in this matter it Will
not be something to be proud of. They
ought to have a conference. They ought
to elect a Senator. The Pondinky Club
is in favor of the Republican party,
first, last and all the time.
E. Weidler, Constable-I am in favor
of settling it and having the Legisla-
ture get down to business. There ought
to be a caucus and then the matter
would be speedily fixed up.
w. J. White, advertising the
deadlock at once and elect a Senator.
Let the best man win. Those are my
sentiments.
NJ Citron. clothier-By all means hold
a caucus. What they are doing now is
only baby play. They should settle
the squabble one way or the other.
We have had enough of this farce Of
trying to see who is the strongest by
open voting. Let the Republicans come
together and unite upon some candl-
date. The matter must be settled and
they may as well get at it. l am thor
oughly tired of reading about this con-
tinual deadlock.
W. M. Muller, druggist-Anything to
elect a Republican Senator by fair
means. We certainly should have the
fruits of the sweeping Republican vic
tory in the last election and the legis-
lators should consider the wishes of
their constituents first, last and all the
time 1t is certainly to be regretted
that the deadlock should have lasted as
long as it has.
D. A. Fleming, tailor-They ought to
get through with the business some
way. The matter can certainly be de-
cided by holding a caucus and they
ought to have done so long ago. Let
them get the Senatorial fight off their
hands and then they can get down to
earnest legislation. They have been
fooling long enough.
Welles l.. Sabine, manager F. II.
Bushnell-The Republican Legislature
should lose no time in electing the best
man available to represent the State
in the United States Senate The dead
lock should have been broken long ago.
The present condition of affairs is ridic-
ulous and should no selection be made
the effect Will be very detrimental TO
the best interests of the State.
Jacob Fibush, tobacconist-Have a
caucus by all means. Let them put
an end to all this fooling. I don't see
what they expect to accomplish from
what they are doing now. Why don t
the Republicans take a vote and let
the best man win. This balloting day
after day without change is becoming
exceedingly tiresome. Not alone that,
but much good time is being wasted
that should be devoted to legislation.
John Rohan, merchant-The only
thing left to do is to hold a caucus and
settle this matter. The Republican
legislators ought to meet and reach
some decision There is no need to
wait any longer, for this delay can do
no good Let caucus be held at once.
n. H. Lussier, manager for G. Ches-
ter-Of course. I would favor having a
Republican Senator by all means. The
Legislature should not neglect this op-
portunity. as the next session may not
be Republican. Something should be
done. They should all come together
and make some kind of terms and not
let the thing pass over. That would
be bad for the State.
c. F. Murdoch, City Wharfinger-l
think it is time fer the Republican Leg
islature to devise some method to elect
United States Senator. This dead
lock may result in the loss of a Sena-
tor to the Republican party. I believe
it is a crime for Republican Legislators
to waste their time in taking useless
ballots when they have so many good
men to choose from. Let the Repub-
lican legislators act like men of sense
and Judgment Let them have eau
Gus and let the majority rule. I am
heartily sick of this deadlock. 1t is a
shame for Republican legislators to act
this way. They are derelict in their
duty when they continue this deadlock
/ repeat that it would be a crime to al
low this deadlock to stand.
w. T. Hyde. druggist am not in
politics. but having the interests of the
State at heart 1 desire to see our rep
resentatives in the Legislature take
such steps as will result in the election
of a Republican Senator. I can see no
reason for not holding a caucus, for
that would surely prove true test of
strength.
F. T. Pladwell. clerk-The only prop
er way to end the matter is for the Re-
publicans to hold a caucus. That is
the only way out of the difficulty that
/ can see.
E. J. Fitzgerald, haberdasher-A lot
of good time is being wasted at Sacra-
mento. 1t seems to me that the only
way to break the deadlock is for the
Republicans to come together and set
tie upon some man. do not see why
they should postpone the matter any
longer They do not seem to be ac
complishing anything by their delay In
my opinion the sooner q caucus is held
the better. 1t will certainly put an
end to tiresome fight
H. l.. Osgood, druggist-Whyo of course
I am in favor of having caucus. Let
them get a Senator elected and then
get down to business.
A. w. Bishop, Assistant Secretary
Republican City Central Committee-By
all means the Republicans should COM
bine and select a Republican United
States Senator.
G. A. Blank, merchant, 965 Broad
way-It is not question of whether
Grant or Burns or any other candi-
date deserves the office of Senator, be-
cause he has given time and money to
lis canvass. but the issue that con-
