A QUESTION FOR cUNNEEN.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The spectacle of Attorney General Cunneen
abusing Governor Odell and Lieutenant Governor
Higgins and charging them with gross frauds In
the matter of the canal improvements is disgusting
to say the least. II these charges are justified.
why did not Mr.. Cunneen. a member OF the
canal board. institute legal proceedings against
these officials at the proper time? He has grossly
violated his oath Of office. He surely expect
any one to believe in these charges this late day
I sincerely trust no Republican will let his re-
marks influence him in doing his duty election
day for the Republican State ticket At the out
set of the campaign inclined TO diStrust Mr..
Higgins and had nearly decided TO vote against
him hut after hearing him and reading his speeches
l intend standing by him. Mr.. Hgginss forcibe
manner in delivering prepared speech should
convince any fairminded of his sincerity and
character. He said IN his speech at the Madison
Square Garden that II he was elected he would be
his own boss, auG that no man held mortgage
on him I believe him. His record Lieutenant
Governor has been splendid one. and all of
Republicans should do our utmost TO elect him.

ANOTHER UNFoUNDED CHARGE.
This One Relates to the Expenditures by
Socialist Party

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Among his many reckless assertions OF late
Judge Parker has made regarding the present
campaign of the Socialist party. He charges that
it is expendng great OF money, and that
this money comes from the Republican party
am not q member of the Socialist party. but 1
know enough Of its methods principles and prac-
tees to know that It is not expanding great sums
of money. and that It is receiving nothing. direct
Iy or Indirectly. from the Republican or any other
political organization
Its expenses are betrayed entirely by contribu-
tons from persons connected with the Socialist
movement. 1t is the only party. SO far as 1 know,
that charges admission to its campaign meetings.
1t must needs do or else hold no meetings.
At the two recent Debs meetings in this city the
price of tickets ranged from 10 to 90 cents, and no
Members of the party pay monthly dues. and
committee The national committee also sells
campaign supplies to the local organizations ana
tons from members and friends of the party.
These receipts are all published Item by item IN

From this oficiaI report it appears that the re-
ceipts for September were as follows:
Campaign and other supplies ............:.. 2450 80
Total So 115 20
total OF $5,075 49,
There seems TO be a general msapprehension re-
garding the principles Of the Socialist party in its
relation to other parties. That it is fundamentally
different that it stands for complete reOrganiza-
ton of the social order. and that therefore it could
not, without stultifying itself engage in any bar
ter or understanding with any other party seems
overlooked that the merest suspicion within the
party that of its official representatives might
countenance such deal would result in party
revolution.
In this instance Judge Parker added only an
other to his Ions list Of utterly unfopnd@d aSSer-

THE REAL RACE ISSUE.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: We see the issue referred so much
in the Democratic newspapers that while we may
understand II politics" with them, yet It
looks though the term misnomer. Race
issue does not mean with the Democratic party
that the black shall not vote or the white
shall vote because there are many white men
with dark skins and many black men" with

ATTACK ON CoRTELYoU LATE.
All the Facts Available for Months Before
Any Criticism Was Made.

To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: Tho Cortelyou case has now tapered down In
the columns of THE New-York Times and THE
Brooklyn Eagle and other Democratic newspapers.
and also in the speeches of Judge Parker, to the
proposition that his original appointment to be
chairman of the Republican National Committee
scandalous. because he possessed knowledge Of
guilty secrets Of corporations, which knowledge
rendered him a dangerous man for those corpora
tons to dispease by refusing to contribute to the
election expenses of the committee.
But the very newspapers which inaugur-
ated and have mainly maintained the case against
Cortelyou never thought OF this view until nearly
three months after the original appointment which
they denounce as scandalous II the PONY
had been valid, somebody would have thought OF
It in June. at latest in July but IT was not men
toned by anybody until after the middle OF sep

in June as they known in November.
Moreover. 1t does not appear that Corteiyou mas
any knowledge of any guilty secret or or any other
secret of any corporation that has been asked Tor
any contributions that has given any contrlou-
ton to him his committee. And no eVioence
has ever been presented, or even stated tnat ne

other man might not have possessed or useq;

QUESTIONS PARKER MIGHT ANSWER.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The World" asks a number of questions
that 1t demands to be answered by the chairman
OF the Republican committee. Why does The
World" not ask equal number Of questions OF
the chairman OF the Democratic committee, viz:
How much have the Silver Trust and the free
coinage of silver advocates contributed the Alton
Bunco Parker election corruption fund.- How
much has the Tobacco Trust contributed to said

Democratic States How much has the Whiskey
Trust contributed to said fund.-" How much have
