REPTRLTC4yS AyD REFORM.


Due allowance must be made for the
bOasting Of an agent seeking 10 impress
his employers when Buckley writes 10
Sheldon that IL is easy for him Ito tie
UP measures" or when ne explains how
he Influenced the formation Of insurance
committees. But still the letters contain
sufficient truth 20 suggest the attitude
which al that time prevailed in Albany.
II was felt 10 be a reasonable and leglti-
mate thing that interests likely TO be
affected by legislation should have much
10 say about the naming Of the commit
tees which were 10 handle that legisla-
ton. II Buckley was the accredited
representative Of the insurance inter
csts and he opposed or favored the ap-
pointnTent ef a certain legislator To the
Insurance Committee, his opposition or
support probably had altogether too
much weight. not because he was Buck
ley. as he seems 10 have tried to make
his employers think. but because OF the
interests he represented.
Nor is il just 90 denOunce this notion
as characteristic of the Republican
party. or 10 say that an alliance vita
business interests was peculiar 10 that
party The idea and the alliance are
both older than Republican predOmi-
nance in this state One party took mp
the relation where the other laid il
down, Business interests watched
which way political conditions tended
and made their arrangements accord
iEgly. How many times has il been
brought out that campaign cOntribu-
tiuns went TO the dominant party"
and that in cases Of doubt they often
went equally 20 both parties: Which
ever won. the Buckleys were on hand,
reminding II IF past favOrs and holding
ont hopes Of more, and telling of what
this interest expected IN the way Jf
legislation and that one in the way Of
committee assignments. Whichever
party won. there were sure 40 be Sen
atOrs from the insurance companies, As
semblymen from the bridge companies
and members of both houses from the
gas and trHction companies.
Instead of this treachery 10 the peO-
pies interests. this peTVersiOn Of Il repre-
sentative form of government. being the
exclusive characteristic Of the Repub-
lican party. as some accusers would have
il, il is 10 the lasting credit Of that party
that far as the system has been bro
ken down and 50 far as realization OF
the shame i'm il has not only spread
