SETTLE TAKES BOSTBOrV (Continued from Page One.) knowlnely at least, those persons whi are ben. upon its destruction, but th' invita'ion Is thrown fur and wide ti those who believe in its principles am who support its nominees. It Is said by some of the gentlemei who criticise the action of the repub llcan Bttae executive committee ii calling a republican convention, tha' they should have called some othei kind of a convention, one of a mon grel description, that It should have been 'neither fish, flesh, fowl, or Rood red herring.' It is further stated b some that a quorum of the committee was not present and therefore that It! action was and is a nullity. If this be so, why do not these gen tlemen Ignore the action of the com mittee entirely: that Is the way in which acts that are null and void are usually treated. Is it not something of an inconsistency for them in one breath to say the call is unlawful, and the action a nullity, and in the next breath to say: "We will stand at Mecklenbnrs, And battle for our rights?" This attitude shows that they them selves have no faith In their conten tion that the call is a nullity. The doctrine of estoppal, both in pais and of record, applies to them here In Its full force. They say that Mr. Tucker's resolu tion offered as an addenda to Mr. Mott's resolution was doctored, in thai Mr. Tucker nor Mr. Jenkins recall wnether the word "national" was used by Mr. Tucker. Do these gentlemen deny the committee the inherent, the fundamental right to amend a resolu tion offered by a member? Kurely not. They are simply talking without think ing. But suppose something which it Is very difficult to suppose, suppose the absurd position that the committee hadn't the right to amend the resolu tion of Mr. Tucker, and suppose Mr. Tucker did not use the word "na tional," what difference would it have made, or does it make? Do not these gentlemen know that any court on earth, even though terrified with the menace of a "recall," would be com pelled to decide the Tucker resolution null and void if it could not work in harmony with the preceding part of the resolution, which provides for the holding of a republican conven tion? The addition or the omission of the word "national" does not affect the merit? of the proposition. Why criticise the committee for ailing a reptrWtcan convention? vVhat other kind of a conMio,i ould It call ths the kind that irought the committee lUelf into ex stence? Could a committee, the reature of a republican convention, all and report to any other than a epubliean convention without being: ruilty of a breach of trust, and the irsurpation of power and authority? If the republican party In North 'arolina is to disband and scatter, o foreswear Its principles and its 'andldates, are not those momentous jueslions to be decided by the re lubllcans, and by republicans only? Vre men affiliated with and giving .heir support to other organizations :o be given a voice and vote in tht teclslon of these vital questions? ihall wo submit to the democrats o he progressives the question of out political existence? If so we are deaa tnd damned already, so far as theit judgments can be enforced. This call reads no one out of thb party those who go out do so ot their own free will, because the poh cic-s, principles or candidates of so rot other party appeal more strongly tu them. If the candidates, or the poli cies and principles of another than the republican party, either the one or tha other, command their support either as a matter of faith and creed or for any other cause, it is their right to give it; but it is not their right in this event to Jusiy claim to be party men. They may bo mug wumps, or independent voters if they split up, but no spedal pleading or sophistry can make them true party men. A party's national convention Is its supreme tribunal. Its voice is nnai. and binding on party men. Xo ap peal from such an authority lies to the precinct primaries, to the county. district or state conventions of North Carolina, any more than an appeal from a decision of the Supreme court of the United States lie's to a justice of the peace, the Superior or Supreme cOtfrt of the state. As the decision of the one is the law of our country, so Is the action of the other the lav. of our party, and binding on all party men. It is urged and insisted that the action of the Chicago convention lie repudiated, that its candidates lie slaughtered in North Carolina at the precinct primaries, the county, dis trict and state conventions, and also at the polls. All this havoc is to be wrought by those claiming most fer vently and passionately to be republi cans; claiming to love the party, but most positively refusing to be bound by the decision and action ot tin highest constituted party authorities .-mil tribunals. A state, a political party, an indi vidual, possesses the right of self de fense. This is an inherent, a funda mental and an inalienable riglit. Neither a state qr a political party lose this right of self defense be cause the menace or attack comes from within and not without: from alienated adherents cherishing griev ances, and nursing wraen, anu no. tr-nm m.n a nd nvnwed enemies. The attack from within is always more dangerous than the assault trom wiui out. 1. yield to no man in my love for the republican party. My father hris tened it in North Carolina. I have stood upon its plattorms and sup ported Its candidates, when my views and my .'riends had been defeated in Its conventions. I have given loyal support to men who were my un compromising enemies, giving that support not to them personally, but to them as the exponents of the poli cies and principles ot the party to which I belonged. The party commands my support because I believe in its policies ami its principles of government. It commands my support now, in this present campaign, fully, unre servedly, heartily and aggressively, because I believe its principles and Its candidates stand for the constitu tion of my country, and for the per petuation of a free government, pro gress with order, and not for com munism, socialism, or anarchy. THOMAS SETTLE. LEADER TAKES PENROSE GAGE (Continued from page 1.) 1, the enclosures accompanying which I beg to return you herewith.

We think the report is so fair that we will not undertake to suggest any changes. "With many thanks, I am, "Very truly yours, "JNO. D. ARCHROLD." "July 3, 1901.

Wile liatty fitting from every point of view. Tour name as chairman would undoubtedly give to the report exceptional assurance of Integrity and intelligence; you are the ranking senatorial member of the commission; the interests of your state are pre-einlnent in the matter, and lastly, and we may hope not un fairly, we make it as a strong person al reuuest. May 1 venture to ask for an af firmative answer by wire, so that we may do what seems possible to aid in the matter. "With kind personal regards, 1 am, "Very truly yours. "JNO. V. ARCHBOLD." "26 Broadwuy, New York, "November 24, 1902. "My Dear Senator: "I most earnestly hope that It is in the line of your intention and desire to favor the reappointment of Hon. E. W. Smiley as chief clerk of the sen ace of Pennsylvania. His qualifica tions for the position need no word, I am sure ,at my hands. I will esteem it a personal favor if you will aid in his re-election. "Yours very truly, "JNO. D. ARCHBOLD." "September 22, 1902. "My Dear Senator: "It proved that the Butler county gentleman named in your recent note to me is not in our employ, but I have fortunately succeeded in reaching him through a mutual friend, and I am very sure you will iind him in line all right. "Very truly yours, "JNO. D. ARCHBOLD." Has Evidence, Says Van Valkenburg. Philadelphia, Aug. 22. E. A. Van Valkenburg, editor of the Philadel phia North American, who is with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in Wilkes barre, Pa., last night dictated over the telephone a statement, saying in part: "Senator Penrose's evident purpose in bringing my . name into his state ment before the senate is to fore stall the presentation of evidence in the, possession of the North Ameri can that he is a briber and corrup tionist, such as has not been exposed in public life In this country in re cent years." False, Says Roosevelt. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 22. An at tack on Senator Penrose was made by Colonel Roosevelt last night after he had read the senator's statement in the senate. The ex-president quot ed from letters and telegrams which he sent to George B. Cortelyou, chair man of the republican national com mittee in 1904, to prove that no con tributions had been accepted from the Standard Oil company. "Mr. Penrose and his allies and the entire crowd of crooked politicians and crooked financiers who have at tempted to make these attacks upon me," said Colonel Roosevelt, "have made them and are making them, not only knowing that they are false, but because they are -false, and be cause they know that the forces be hind me and which 1 at this time represent are the only forces which the crooked politicians and crooked financiers of the country have really to fear. "The only part of Mr. Penrose's statement that needs comment by me is that portion in which it is asserted that I had been advised of a heavy contribution from Mr. Archbold in behalf of the Standard Oil company to the republican national campaign committee, and that I directly or In directly requested a contribution from Mr. Archbold and his associates Inter ested in the Standard Oil company. This statement is false."
