Every person named, It will thus be
seen, Is closely identified with the Ring,
and all but two of them are office holders

In lieu of any comment Of our own on
such action we present the following
communication received from an active
and earnest Republican, commenting on
the action Of the meeting
Editor Of State Journal IF the citi-
zens Of Wilmington need further evidence
of the intention Of the City Ring to conduct
municipal affairs In their own interests,
they have 1t IN the makeup Of the city
nominating committee Of the Republican
party. To the Republican party in this
city they simply say;
ave control you TO our dietation and
management you are committed beyond
appeal our will is law, our interests the
rule of party actions. We name ward
committees. They name candidates, yoI
must vote for them and elect tnem, Oh
forfeit the name of Republicans You
fealty TO principle is but a dead letter
Principles, In fact. are needless. We ar
the party, and the party Is lnfalllble."
To this kind Of usurpation the intelll
gence and honesty Of this city is to sub
nit, and upon II comes the odlunl ant
guilt inseparable from such doings, AM
we are free to say, deservedly so. Will
they continue to stand aloof, and wasl
their hands In criminal negligence of tn
duty to seek reform In, and to reeommi
their party to q decent regard for tn
interests Of the whole people, they deserv
defeat.
