CINCINNATI, Oct. 27.—A number of prominent German citizens recently ad- dressed an Invitation to Hon. Carl Schurz to deliver an address in Cincin- natl. The following reply was received to-day: NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 1599, Dear Mr. Rattermann: It was a matter of re- Bret to me to be unable to accede to your re- quest to deliver a non-partisan address on in perfalism in Cincinnati on my return trip from Cnicago. This was partly due to my anxiety to reach home and also because a non-partisan discussion of this question is no longer recog- nized. I would be pleased if this question could be taken out of party politics, because If this is not done the only choice that will be left us next year will be between a party present- ing imperialism and sound money and another party which, in opposition to imperialism, will combine with it an unsound money issue. This alternative can only be avolded If the !mperial policy is removed, and the first step necessary to that end is not alone the cessation of hot tilitles by a victory of our arms, but the re- liuquishment of the Philippines. It the Fili- pinos are not granted their independence then imverialism would Le the main issue In the Presidential election next year, crowding all other lesues: iuto the background. The signs are already apparent and I see that the Cin- cinnat! Volksblatt warns us as follows: *‘Practtcal peopis are of the opinion that Mr. Schurz could be of greater service to the coun- try it he would come to Ohlo and again fight the silver gwindle instead of working Into the hands of the free coinagers by placing annexa- tion into the foreground. For it is a fact that free colnage represents a greater danger than annexation.” I am of a different pattern. No one can say of me that I undervalue the danger that may arise from free coinage. But I hold that I perialism ls decidedly more dangerous, for means the ruin of our free fustitutions. then, we could not opp 1t e imperialism without working Into the hands of the free coiners, as the Volksblatt says, what then? It means that three years ago in good faith we elected a Presi- dent to solve the money question, who, in- stead, has burdened us with imperialism. In this connection the warning to speak of some- thing else sounds peculiar. Of what do the speakers who have been called into Ohlo really speak? Did Governor Roosevelt, for instance, dilate upon the'wilver Question? He was principally occupled in cai ing us to hold up our heads in answer to an imperialistic arguments. orators do lkewise. 1f under these circumstances T would, by the agitation of the silver question, ald the Repub- licans of Ohio to victory I would be convinced that the administration would construe such a victory and make unlimited capital out of It, Toward such & result I cannot consclentiously contribute. £ T am of the honest conviction that the grea est danger that now threatens the republic is imperfalism. I belleve that it s our highest patriotic duty to set aside all party interests and to do our best to avert this danger. It was to this end that last year I opposed the candi- dacy of Roosevelt for Governor in this State, I did this although I was a personal friend of Roosevelt and worked with him for civil serv- ice reform. I believed then, and still believe, that his defeat, with his imperlalistic pro- gramme, and in spite of his new-earned fame, would have frightened the administration in Washington from the annexation of the Phil- ippines, and in this manner the danger would have been greatly minimized. Meny of my acquaintances here, Who were then of a con- trary opinion, agree With me now that the re- sult of the sacrifice would have been well worth the price. The situation this year ap- pears to me to be exactly the same. If the fall elections result fn a manner that the ad. ministration and Congress are encouraged to further progress on the path of imperialism, then, uniess unlooked for events should inte Vene, the main question that will confront us next year in the Presidential election will be imperialfsm, and to save the republic from her greatest danger will require unpleasant sacri- fces. Such encouragement to the administra- tion should be withheld at any cost. . We are in the midst of a crisls in which every good citizen should regard it as his highest duty to make the least important subservient to ihe tmportant, according to his knowledge and conscience, and not permit himself to be governed simply by party considerations.

PHELAN HURLS A BOLD DEFI AT THOSE WHO OPPOSE HIM Mayor Phelan boldly defied the people of this city last night in a speech before the Monticello Club. In words that left no room for doubt as to their meaning he in- timated that {f re-elected he would use the charter for Phelan and for Phelan’s friends. No others need apply. The meet- ing, which was held in Metropolitan Hall, was not given for the purpose of further- ing the interest of any particlar candi- date.- The members of the Monticéllo Club take an academic interest in politics and had Invited Mayor Phelan and Frank- ss them in a general Mr. Lane kept ered a very within the bounds and del r interesting and instructive address. No one was given a hint, from anything he said, that he was a candidate for office, or that San Francisco was going to have a municipal election within a few days. With the Mayor it was different. He got started off all right, but toward the wind- up he could not resist the temptation to talk about himself, about his charter, about his Democratic party and about his San Francisco. Referring to his power of appointment he said virtually that no Re- publican who was not a Phelan Republi- can during his campaign would stand a ghost of a show of receiving any of his political favors. £ “‘The charter provides,’” said the Mayor, “that as many Republicans as Democrats must be npfmlnled on the public commis- sions; but 1 want to say right here that it any Republican expects to be repre- sented on those commissions he must come from the ranks of those who meet us on an equality. No traitor to the char- ter—no Republican who has dared to at- tempt to force national affairs into our k‘)ca campaign will be given considera- tion.” g DR. VOORSANGER ANSWERED. Majority of His Coreligionists Will Support Horace Davis. Editor Call: There has lately appeared in an evening paper an article by Rev. Dr. Voorsanger favoring the cause of Mr. Phelan. The reverend doctor would per- haps resent the charge of having dispar- aged Mr. Davis. But he has, to say the least, ‘‘damned him with faint praise.” The reverend doctor’s good taste in thus descending from the pulpit into the arena of practical politics is not here the ques- tion. Upon that point perhaps Americans are universally agreed. But the doctor, whatever the merit of his article. the truth of his observations or the propriety of his action, occupies a position that gives to his utterances an added weight derived entirely from the persons whose spokesman citizens at large have a right to presume him to be. That he is author- ized to voice the political opinions of his coreligionists it is our present purpose to deny. He is at liberty to express what opinions of his own he sees fit, and noth- ing but a sense of propriety and the dic- tates of good taste can exert an influence to prevent him. But in his article he should have clearly indicated that he was voicing kis individual opinion only, and he should not have used the columns of a sectarian religious Jjournal to pronounce a panegyric upon a political canwdate. Rev. Dr. Voorsanger's views are dia- metrically opposed to those of a large number if not the majority of persons whose opinions he is erroneously pre- sumed to voice. Common candor and fairness should have prompted him to make that plain. Those whom the doctor presumes to represent are overwhelm- ingly Republican, and we venture to say | find in Mr. Davis a candidate worthy of thelr support. Whatever of praise for civic virtues applies to Mr. Phelan applies with equal if not greater force to Mr. Davis, and such being the case it is scarcely to be.supposed that those per- sons whose natural inclinations as well as materfal _inter: favor Republican doctrines will from their alle- glance. .
