ADDRESS TO REpUBLICANS.
TO the editor of The sun: / desire t
address the following 70 Union leuhl
cans: 1T has come To my knowledg
that u most indecent proposal has bee
made sou by Il reckless gang Of \,
called Republicans. This proposal
am informed. looks to the holding
common primaries in one county {
your State. and, therefore. In, namili
of two separate tickets i'll the Otht
counties.
This is one Of the basest PROPOSE
ever made. II is Il proposal an hole'
man would Indignantly reject. II is
proposal, dishonest both to the Hcpubl
can party and to the intelligence Of Il
leaders thereof. 1t is Il proposal whit
il accepted will suhorn the party
politician suicide. 1t is small. mean al
c0ntwnptable and it could only original
in the brain of some one desiring Il
defeat Of the Republican PRESIDENT
ticket
rhe only possible motive the make
of this proposal could have is rcvcng
Revenge for their being turned down
the convention III Philadelphia. Tht
expect. with your aid, to retain #
themselves all the pickings in New Ca
tie county and they further expect
split the party in the other count
thus allowing the Democratic ticket
win.
Let me ask YOU: Let me implore yn
4 not To help these party wreckerS III
& thicvin= politicians. II you enter tn
vile conspiracy you will deserve 70
anathema: to be outchsts from the ranl
of all honest men forever. Let them II
mislead and deceive you. Stand fas
DO not scuttle. Make no deals. 10 I
to the end steadfastly and even thout
