Union Republicans or the An.i-Addicks
Republicans are recognized by the IA
tional Convention at Philadelphia, but
whether the Republicans of the state,
majority OF the voters, OF
the Democrats, representing minority
of the voters, snail win at the polls IN
November. Tha. is the vital ISSUE
whether the safe government, with all
ttia implies, stall be Republican OF
D .mocratic after the election OF 1900.
That the action OF the National Con-
yen.ion may make or mar the result oil
Ithe election in November, from Re-
publican view point, is probable. The
Morning News, speaking for the Anti.
Addicksites, makes the recognition OF
their organization the vital issue Of the
ca npaign and threatens the defeat OF the
Republican party if what they demand
is not accorded them. The probabilities
are, as the News intimatea, that what
they demand will not be accorded
to the Auti.AddcSites, and that
declaration, assuming that the News
speaks for enough voters to make
defeat possible, makes the defeat
OF the Republican party probable.
Plainly and without qualification the
News says: No agreement made by out
sders or By tew in the state can be
held as binding upon those "no have
taken their stand upon principle and de-
mand that right shall prevail There
. can be but one Interpretation put upon
that, coming from where il does, and
that i, that unless the Anti-Addicks
bolter delegates from this STATE are &C.
I corded seats in the natioaa. convention
as the only Republican delegates iron
this Sta.e, the Ani.Addicksites will boil
: from the decision OF the convention anc
e refuse to vote with the Union Republi
e cans for the defeat OF the Democrats
! ! That ia the plain english OF the News
j. position.
II Taking this position the News mus
Q allow the Union Republicans the sam
- right to refuse to accept al adverse de
ciaion, TO their claim, by the Nations
Convention, aud more, j. must e1pec
e that refusal. Therefore when it ssyE
IN "No agreement made by outsiders or b
or a few in the State can be held as binc
T. ing" it simply declares Tor the defeat
- the Republican party. No expresse
wish f1r "a union Of forces" can qualii
that declaration. The News and i
Anti-Addicksite A following are workir
os for the defeat Of the Republican party
:, the coming election.
