THE SITUATION IN THE REL BIIoAN PARry-DIF
FIRING yILws As TO CANDIDATES.
The situation with respect to the nomination
to be made by the Republicans, at Georgetown
on Tuesday, is simply this There are two can
ddates to be nominated "a Governor and Con
gressman. The present member of Congress
Hon. James II. Lohand, who reside
at Milford, IN Kent county, claims a re-nom
nation, and this claim has the support
30 far as anything appears, of his county
But the claim is also made by Kent County ant
by Mr.. Lofland and his friends that DIR. Isaa,
Jump, OF Dover, be nominated for Governor
thus taking both candidates for Kent, and mono
of course from either New Castle OF Sussex Ii
this county, there is II strong feeling
shared it is believed, by large ma.
ionty of tile Republican voters, that if Kent
she has no claim upon the Governorship, aud
cons deiing that there has been no Governor
from New Castle county for thirty years that
this county contains more than half the people
OF the State and further that the Republican
ma jJrity cast here is depended upon to elect
be. Republican candidates on the State ticket
it is insisted that the Governor should be named
from tllis county. This would be dividing the
honors, as to geographical allotment it would
satisfy the people IN botn counties. and it would
secu,e cordial support of the ticket from diff
ferng sentiments III the party.
IT Is FURTHER INSISTED
BY those in favor of New Castle candidate for
Governor that the question OF Equal Represen-
tatiun Is lnseparably connected with their pi
position. They declare that the opposition to
equaliling representation has always come from
Kent and Sussex counties that as the Repub-
lean ticket II now likely to carry the State those
upon it should not both be from the sections
h.eofore hostile to that act of justice in short,
that If the people of New Castle mean to have
equal rights in Delaware, they must have some
men identified with their demands in the control
ing PORTIONS of the State. They say that now,
when il becomes possible to secure Equal Rep
resentation, it would be less than reasonable for
them not TO desire at least one OF the two cand-
dates.
THE CONTEST FOR DELEGATES
Therefore turns upon the question whether the
candidate for Governor ia to be named by this
county. OF whether both candidates shall come
from Kent. There are number of Republican
voters III this county who favor the latter propo-
rton, among them being II. +. Piokels, Chair
man OF the State Central Committee @. II. Gal
lagher Chairman of the County Committee DIR.
W, ID. NOen, the Collector of the Port and
. herr, including, of course, all those holding
Office or position under them. These parties are
making strenuous exertons to have both cdudi-
dates from Kent county, and thus to prevent the
Governor being taken from New Castle county.
