A MORAL ISSUE.
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II appears from recent newspaper reports
that effort is being made by Republican leaders
in various parts of this state to impress the chair
of the Republican State Committee and others
in positions of power and influence with the idea
that the preponderance of Republican sentiment is
opposed to the denomination of Governor Hughes
It would be interesting know from what sources
such information is obtained. If. is probable, It
comes from the subservient tools of those same
leaders, it is simply echo Of their own senti-
nents and utterly worthless index of the
real popular feeling.
One upstate politician is reported saying that
the people viii generally express their desire at
the primaries and the state convention will be
governed accordingly He doubtless winked at
the local boss when he relieved himself Of that
subtle irony. Every at ali familiar with the
ways Of the primary knows that resolution call
ing for the re e1oination Of Hughes would be voted
down with practical unanimity if the boss or
dered, in a district where nine out of every
ten Republican voters, outside of the primary, IA
vored its import. The lesson taught by the Fol-
ger-CIeveland campaign is not so distant in the
remote past to be forgotten
The organization then disregarded the wishes Of
the rank and file of the party, but TO counteract
the effect of doing it gave the Republicans of
this state better candidate than Cornell. from the
standpoint of the very men who were calling most
loudly for his denomination. So far the result
concerned he might we'll have been a third
ward wire puller, The people resented the ar
bitrary action Of the organization 10 the tune of
20 COO Democratic majority. Human nature has not
changed in the last twenty-five years TO any ap-
precable extent. The writer not in favor OF
MI Hughes for the Presidential nomination. neither
is he an enthusiast for him Governor but be
lieves that the great mass of Republican voters
throughout this state are making his denomination
a moral issue. and that he cannot be turned down
by the organization without the gravest peril 10
the Republican state and electoral ticket.

HUGHES Or DEFEAT.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The popularity Of Governor Hughes with
the respectable element Of society, which IN
cIudes both Democrats and Republicans (and 1t
sweIIs one up with pride TO be able 10 say that
they are in the majority in the State of New YORK;
is based on the simple propositions of right honor
and justice. unaffected by the clamor of those
whose pernic0us interests adversely affected
Show me- where Governor Hughes has sacrificed a
right principle TO gain popularity. Then search
your mind for other high public officials OF whom
the same can thfully be saio.
This country has had a few of them who have
assed away. and they occupy a large page in his
tory. Governor Hughes stands for higher. bet
ter and honester system of state government. and
60 do a ma jorty of the voters in the State OF New
York or they would not have elected him Governor
The machine favors the old plane The
machine in convention must nominate for Governor
q man that the people want and desire to honor or
the Republican party will be defeated. Enthusiasm
is contagious and so is indifference. When PreSi-
dent Harrison renominated the people wanted
Blaine and rebuked the machine by defeat. Is it
wise To ignore so recent and pertinent lesson
The Republican party ncver turn Its back on
I0gress and reform with success.
