Show The Tribune tries to cover up the fact that the real object of its bolt was to defeat John C. Cutler Cut-ler and the remainder of the state ticket, including the Roosevelt electors, by claiming that Gentile Democrats are working in the ranks of the new party. That sounds very well, but the fact is that ten Republicans have joined the new movement where a single Democratic recruit has bean gained. The only three Democrats of any prominence who have cast their lot with the new organization are Ogden Hiles, Judge Dininny and P. J. Daly. Neither of these has ever been a strong party man, and Daly and Dininny were prepared to jump blindly into any Independent Gentile movement, even had its originator been a more farcical re-lormer re-lormer than Mr. T. Kearns. The defection of this Democratic trio cannot be considered a loss to tho Democrats, as they are and were primarily and essentially anti-church men. The honorable roll of Democratic Gentiles who have refused to be Inveigled into the Kearns-Lipp-man society is far more formidable. They constitute consti-tute quite a small army, and among these tho following fol-lowing are conspicuous for their unaltered allegiance alleg-iance to the Democratic party: 0. W. Powers, Fisher Harris, J. L. Rawlins, Samuel Newhouso, Simon Bamberger, C. S. Varian, Morris Sommer, H. P. Henderson, John Dern, J. D. Bamberger. J, 0. Loiry, Judge Baldwin, B. A. Hartenstein, J. M. Cohen, D. B. Hempstead, Hermann Bamberger, A. J. Weber, D. C. Dunbar, M. E. Mulvey and enough others to cover the editorial page of tho bolting organ. Tho crafty Tribune easily foresaw this state of affairs when it entered into the conspiracy to destroy de-stroy the Republican organization in this state. |
