DECOY DELEGATES.

lf the plans of the Ziegenhein gang
bear the expected result, citizens will
see the triumph of a legerdemain that
needs only the light to reveal the pollt-
ical dexterity now being exercised by
the ringsters.
Republicans Of the better class have
been demanding an early primary.
Gentlemen asking for this concession
have been put on by the Central Com
mittee with an exasperating evasiveness
that should be fair warning to every ele-
ment in the Republican party hoping for
reform within the organization.
There will be no reform within the
party. The scheme I'm the delay about
primaries is indicated in the refusal Of
the best Republicans TO run for office.
No Republican who can measure up 10
the standard set by the Democrats will
consent to run on ticket named by
delegates chosen by the gang.
Realization Of this plight In which the
party finds itself does not in the least
disconcert the ringsters. This is where
the legerdemain comes In so handiiy.
Much talk of representative conyen-
ton In which City Hall employees will
not predOminate Is made. LET no EN-
ploye of the city make his presence in
the convention conspicuous" is the word
that has gone out from the Ziegenhein
bosses, and then. with great show of
reform. Republicans who have taken the
bait in other days are given TO under
STA MI thar tho uomiuaoe ~ Tho ..e.,,,..,,
ton will be by. for and of the people.
All Of which is bOsh cooked up for the
gull'ble. Promise and performance are
two distinct things. When this word of
a free vote in the convention was passed
along, no member Of the gang thought
for minute that the end of machine
rule inside the party had come. Every
ringster realized that the convention
would have to be composed of stool
pigeons controlled by Ziegenhein. In
this way only lay the success Of the
gang.
But the right sort OF stool-pigeons
won't serve. This is the real reason Of
the delay in calling the primaries. Re-
publicans Of prObity and feeling do not
care to be identified with a convention
having the brand Of the gang on the |
As soon as enough nominal |
Republicans will submit to the dicta- |
ions OF the gang. then the primaries |
will be called, and not a day sooner.

First. by Imperial orders published in the
