Will Not Correct Its Report.

great deal of surprise and indigna-
ton is being expressed by republicans
here because of the fact that the Spokes-
man Review refused to correct the report
sent by their correspondent here, regard
ing the proceedings at the republican
county convention. The report as sent
out was totally misleading and has been
damaging to the interests of the party
and to the persons who were pushed into
notoriety. Believing this, the following
letter was drafted, signed generally by
the republicans the leading signatures
being those of Messrs West and Garby
who were maligned by the article in
question. The Review refused to publish
the letter and still maintains its OBJ
Jectionable correspondent. Below is the
letter.
GENTLEMEN:
Referring to the report of the republican
county convention of Nez Perez county
published in your issue of Sunday, April
2Sth, we wish to say that the facts as
stated are wilfully and maliciously false.
Further, the allegations that "bitter
warfare is being waged in the United
States land Office between the register
and receiver" is lie from start to finish.
The truth is, these two officials of the
land office have always been, and are to-
day, the best of friends; both enthusiast
tic republicans, laboring in common for
the success of the party whose principles
they advocate. Nor did Mr.. West at
tempt to control the convention as al
legged in the communication in question.
There was no attempt on the part of any
one to do so.
The report sent in by your correspond

WASHINGTON, D c., March "a
Especial correspondence. The
developments of the week have
proved disappointing to the demo
cratic leaders who hoped to gain
some temporary advantages from
the discussion within the repubh-
can party regarding lines of policy
with reference to the islands with
which we have come into closer re-
lationship, and especially Puerto
Rico. While the Puerto Rican mat
ter has not been finally adjusted,
it is probable that it will result i'll
the adoption of Puerto Rican tar

Rlcans the trifling Sums which may
be collected OH a few articles, thus
adopting practically the original
proposition of the president and at
the same time prevent the estab'
lishment Of a precedent by which
democrats can assert or demand
that the republican policy shall be
one of free trade with all non CON
uguous territory over which we
may have control at any time, and
by that process bring the labor OF
those islands into competition with
the agricultural and other ploduc-
Ing and laboring classes OF the
United States.
