chairman, was delivered to Postmaster
Hugh C.'Brownc, chairman of the boil
ter Republican State Committee on
January 10, and was published in the
Morning News and the Sun of the next
day. 1t was dictated by, and is full Of
the spirit "of honest compromise" 1t
covers fairly every point at issue and
comedies all that any fair minded ana
under like circumstances.
This offer Of compromise from the
authorized representatives Of the ma
jority of the Republicans of this State
was made, is still made, to a minority
of the Republican voters ,and simply
provides for n return to the only right
and fair rule of deciding disputed ques-
tions Of party policy, vote of the peo-
pie and acceptance of the majority de-
cision made at the ballot box. At the
date named the boilers were claiming
the authority of the National RepubIi-
can Convention for their continued di-
vision of the Republican vote Of this
State, and upon that claim they scorn-
fully rejected the proffer made them.

was then approved by the National Or

icing an eminently fair and honest prof
Ter Of compromise; the refusal of the
boters to accept this profcr at the sug-
geStion Of the National Republican Con

aims to recognition b. the convention,
