Where there Dr. "a division ih she party

possible We are aware that Some Re
publlcans conscicntiously believe that
new -comcrs could do better work FOR
the party without the aid 81 the old
timers and that n point could be made
with the natives by excluding from the
responsible work Of the Republican or
ganlzation an those who had led the
I 1898 fight for Americanlsm. Events
have proved. however, that an element
large In numbers and with the pre-
ponderance Of wealth cannot be safely
dragooned out OF the party Of their
choice and that the attempt 60 so dra-
COON them only results In confusion
and bad blood without In the least i'm
pressing the natives. SO far as we have
observed the natives care little or moth
ing for either Of the great American
parties but they are not deferred from
the Republican fellowship by the pres
ence OF men like Mr.. Castle or from the
Democratic party by the leadership of
that sturdy and early champion OF an
nexation, DR.. McGrew. Their objec-
tons to American parties are not per-
sonal. We hold that nothing can be
gained for Republlcanism from the ma
tives by playing upon an alleged preju-
dice against the white annexationist,
especially at the instance OF men even
though many of them are comparative
strangers, who yet proclaim that they
are as good annexationists as anybody
else. This being true what Is to be
gained by widening the line OF cleavage
which appeared In the Republican or
ganization meeting at the drill shed
and later at the primaries? Why nurse
unnecessary feuds? Why not proclaim
harmony, abolish factions, welcome
every man who wishes TO be Repub-
lican and cement the party, as soon as
possible, at Mckinley ratification
meeting and by a conciliatory organiza-
tlon of the body to whose hands Re
publican campaign management has
been entrusted.
The latter point is most important
II the Committee should be organized
exclusively by the Sewall men-and we
use the term I'm no offensive sense-then
the Dole men would have reason to
complain and might make their sense
Of injury felt at an inopportune time
for party success. Conversely If the
Dole men should organize 1t to the eX-
clusion of the Sewall men the results
could not fail to be equally unfortunate.
We hold that the true way Is to elect
the representative of one side as chair
man and the other side as secretary
and instruct both to labor for n better
understanding all around. In such
work the Advertiser would be much
more pleased to lend a hand than to
be put on the defensive even in bat
tie where, from the superior numbers
of those who agree with It in local Re-
publican politics, it might obtain fac
tional victory.
