The Bowden Republican executive
committee of Norfolk county. is maxi
ing great efforts TO re-establish peace
and harmony in the party ranks-a
peace. perhaps, more in the nature of
truce. which shall last until after the
election, and harmony to the extent of
getting every Republican in the district
| to vote for Wise
The committee has issued a circular,
| in which it styles itself the only organ
| ization which has been duly recognized
| by the State and National Committees.
| The circular breaches such forEetful-
ness of past differences as will induce
a burial of the hatchet for a season..
| On the subject of permanent reconcile
alton the circular Is silent. In view
| of it's claim to monopoly in the recog-
milton line the committee has modestly
| put itself in the position of being the
best qualified body TO preach peace on
earth, and II does so to the following
extent having first touched upon the
national aspect OF the election in strong
! colors:
1T is also of vital Importance" the
circular proceeds, 'tnat we should have
Il Republican House TO uphold the acts
| of the Administration, and as the
House Will be very close II lis necessary
to elect Republican from this district
There is only one Republican candidate
and that is the Hon. Richard a. Wise
You can materially aid us in this can
VaSS by casting your vote and inducing
your friends to vote the Republican
ticket. Not having any campaign
funds to make.a systematic canvass we
make personal appeal to all Rcpubli-
cans to give the Republican ticket an
increased majority this year"
Wise faction Republicans are dispos-
ed to regard the circular as a manifes-
tation of IL complete tumble" an ex-
preston which one of them used in ref
erence to it yesterday. ut is one of
these sudden conversions" said the
Wise man. (which deceives no one. and
could only have come from somebody's
seeing a great light"
This view of the case seems proba bic
from the fact that n leading T3owdenite
is said to have declared only n week
ago that he could not support DR.. Wise
under any circumstances.
1t is said that Republican ofIicehold-
ers throughout the district have re-
ceived personal letters from the private
secretary of President Mckinley. in
VIII ich is rected the Importance OF
keeping the House of Representatives
| under Republican control. and asking
| every man who holds an Office under
the government to work and vote for
DR.. Wise. Failure to do so it was in
| timated would be displeasing to the
President. This use of the party lash
will probably have salutary effect
in keeping officeholders in line. II
would be interesting to know whether
or not the same argument was employ
ed in the conversion OF the Bowden
committee.
