A Fair Warning.
The Philadelphia Press calls a halt to
the party managers in this sensible vig
orous manner. They will do well to heed
The Republicans of Pennsylvania
ought to be uuited and harmonious this
year, both in their Convention and their
campaign. There is no legitimate occa
sion or just reason for any division. If
any controversy shall come—as we ear
nestly hope there will not—it will be be
cause it is needlessly and unwisely thrust
upon the party. The long contest over
the Senalorship last winter happily end
ed in an adjustment in which ail sides
came together on an equal footing; and
that auspicious result ought to be a
pledge ol mutual respect and deference
on the part of Regulars and Independents
and an assurance against any present re
vival of its issues. More than that, un
der the shadow of the calamity which
hangs over the country and which should
still all strife, any passionate contention
would be as unseemly as it would be un
justifiable. The representatives of the
party should readily reach an agreement
in obedience to the public voice.
Since the declension of Senator Law
rence, the public exprfssiou has cleariy
and decidedly pointed to Senator Davies
as an acceptable candidate for State
Treasurer. Senator Davies is a gentle
man of large ability, irreproachable in
tegrity and high public standing. lie
has shown himself in the Legislature to
be one of the most sagacious and prudent
of the Republican leaders. Though a
man of earnest convictions, he has been
moderate and discreet, and there is no
good reason why he should not unite the
whole party. If public sentiment indi
cated any other man of equal character
and reputation, he ought to be accepted
as the candidate; and since it seems to
point to Mr. Davies, why should it not be
respected in the same way? For a long
time it looked as tnough this wholesome
principle would be adopted and there was
general expectation that lie would be
nominated with little or no opposition.
But within a few days it is publicly
stated that some of the leaders or mana
gers have decided to oppose Mr. Davies
and have brought forward General Bailey
as their favorite. The reason assigned
for this determination is that Senator
Davies participated iu the Independent
movement last winter and that he must
be punished for this obedience to public
sentiment and this fidelity to his constit
uents. We should be very sorry to be
lieve that there was any such purpose or
that it had any such motive. It would
be grossly unjust to a great body of hon
est Republicans, Incalculably hurtful to
the party and utterly disastrous in the
end to those who should unwisely pursue
such a course. It a prescriptive policy
is to be proclaimed, it can hardly fail to
provoke retaliation. If an honorable
Republican leader is to be struck down
because he followed the dictates of his
own independent judgment and the voice
of his district, the people who are tram
pled on in the person of their representa
tive will ask whether they should sustain
this assault upon themselves. United
there are enough Republicans in Pennsyl
vania to make a successful party, but not
divided. If they are to go on winning
victories, they must stand wioulder to
shoulder; and they cannot stand together
without fair play and equal rights.
General Bailey is said to have been a
gallant soldier and is doubtless a very
estimable gentleman. But his only rec
ord in civil life is that of mustering in
Grant's column of 306 at Chicago and his
name has not been associated with the
nomination for Treasurer until it was
brought out in connection with the move
ment against Senator Davics. The fact
that he stood for Grant is no reason for
debarring him from public honors; but
neither is it a good reeson for selecting
him if it be the only reason. it cannot
be pretended that there has been any such
public sentiment .or expression for his
nomination as for that of Senator Da vies.
There is no popular strength in the move
ment. Ifhe shall be named it will not be
in response to a public demand but be
cause there is power in the machine to
consummate it. On the other hand, if
the Convention be left to the free, un
trammelled representation of the popular
will there can be little doubt of the result.
In plain terms the only reason for oppos
ing the selection which public sentiment
would make is because public sentiment
found him true to it last winter; and it
would not be prudent to make that issue.
We have 110 personal choice or care in
this matter. We speak only in the inter
est of the Republican party. In all can
dor and in a friendly spirit we admonish
the managers against the mistake of un
dertaking to proscribe any Republican
for exercising his indvidual judgment.
We do not believe the Independents care
to hold an aggressive attitude; but they
would be less than men if tliey did not
resist any attempt to ostracise or crush
them. They stand ready to co-operate
in securing a united and victorious party
and for this purpose they concede to oth
ers all the rights and consideration
which they claim for themselves. The
leaders and managers will be wise if they
meet the representatives of the other side
in this frank and just spirit, and they
should lie warned against a blunder
which will inevitably recoil upon them
selves.
