Item 4.--Let Republicans note that while
the battle between honest and Doodle Re
publicanism in this State as to the admis-
sion of delegates to the National Conven-
tion this month is being waged the morn
ing News" is silent-or virtually so. When
the Republicans win as they must and will
the News will exclaim Betty and l fixed
that Bear"H And strangei they will believe
they did it.
June 2, 1900,)
From Evening Journal: 1T is astonish
ing what an effect a'Sherif~s advertisement
has on the editorial conscience Of the Daily
Republican. Sheriff Taylor is an Addicks
man. The Daily Republican gets his print
ing. That is why it is trimming so indus
triously at the present time. 1t wants the
Addicks printing end it wants the Republi-
con printing. To obtain the first it is COM
PEELED to sacrifice Republican principles and
betray tie confidence Of Republican adver-
tisers and subscribers, but that does not
matter. In its equivocal course it carries
water on both shoulders and blows hot and
cold on Republicanism. If it continues it
soon will lose whatever public respect il
now enjoys, for in an emergency like this,
when every Republican should stand true
10 his principles, il is no time for trimmer
to ply his vocation. Let the Daily Repub-
lican declare itself one way or the other and
not hedge and haw for the mere sake of
few dollars which an Addicks Sheriff deems
it polite and profitable to throw away"
Item 3.-In the opinion Of THE TRANS
cRIPr there is but single difference be-
tween the Republican as to the above mat
ter and the Morning News: The former
may be excused on the plea Of ignorance,
the latter acts deliberately. These papers
furnish a security for the Sherifrs bond,
one first term and the other the second.
This is an excuse 10 get the Sheriff's pint
ing at u discount. Many would say this is
business and all right. But the delib crate
advocacy of Addick sism by the RepuL lican
and the silence Of the Morning News as 10
the vile attacks Of Addicks henchmen and
papers upon honest Republicanism and the
leaders of the party, men of honor and in
tegrity, is where the lack of party fealty
and integrity shows ITSELF The Evening
Journal has done more in one month to
put Addicks and Addieksism on the run,
has struck more effective blows for true
Republicanism in four weeks, than have
the Republican and Morning News for two
years past. Republicans should read the
Evening Journal. The papers in politics
for business cannot faithfully serve their
party.
