For the Republican.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:--I am very sorry to
see that our young editor Of very
young) paper, generally supposed to be
a Republican organ in this city, has
seen proper to take the side Of faction
instead Of standing up for q pure Re-
publican party, void Of sectional or fac
tional spirit. The State Of Delaware
contains but three counties; they make
up in total but one election District.
II matters not where the delegates come
from in said District. What we want
is earnest Jealous Republicans who
have the success Of the state at heart.
Men, who are not bound up by county
lines; men, who stand by the honest
nominations of their party.
The editor deems it an insult to New
Castle and Sussex that Mr.. A. or Mr.. B.
was not chosen delegates from within
the county lines of said counties. Has
this young editor forgotten, or is he too
young to remember that when Eent
County ten years ago presented the
name Of her favorite son DR.. Jump as
their choies for Governor, at a time too
when New Castle and Sussex County
had both conceded that Kent should
have the nominee for Governor, that o
handful Of men from New Castle
County said Kent may have the Gov
ernor but not the man she asked for
but that they would name the man
she must takel And they did it.
This, was done too, by the very same
men that Mr.. Conrad now thinks have
been so grossly insulted. "Oh consist.
ency thou art a jewell" Kent was then
ignored in her choice for Governor, but
now, when the people of a Congression-
al District does not name as deleg
the choice OF q minority Of the Delegates
in Congressional District, then, gross
injustice has been done from his mar
row-mindsd and factional stand point.
We want no isms and factions orun
the Republican party in Delaware.
Mr.. Mills knows no factions, and yet
when his name was unanimously pre-.
! sented to the Convention through Mr..
Fraim, Chairman of the Committee on
permanent Organization, a gentleman
small of stature, from the Seventh
Ward of this city, whe can make
great deal of noise and bluster in pro.
portion to his size, had the extreme
courtesy to get up, and move to substi-
tute for Mr.. Mills as the permanent
chairman, the very man who had been
defeated by Mr.. Mills, by q good major
ity, when he was elected temporary
chairman.
Our young editor fails to see this act
Of his friend when he is writing his
factional editorial in this mornings is
sue, and perhaps he refrained from
mentioning it, fer fear that gentleman's
part taken in the election of Mr.. Nc
Menamin over Mr.. Tindal, in the Sixth
Ward, but few years ago, might be
brought up for discussion as to his
loyalty to his party's honest nomination
in said Ward. Does not our young edi-
tor know that our Seventh Ward friend
(above referred toy labored earnestly
also to defeat the Sixth Ward Republi.
can nominee on that occasion, and fur
ther that he advised the defeat of Mr..
McMullen, a conscientious christian
gentleman, who was the Republican
nominee of the Fourth Ward also.
This presume the editor thinks they
had perfect right to do. But the ma
jority Of delegates elected in Congress
sional District, according to his views
have not got the right to select from
any portion of said District such men
as the majority may choose to send as
their delegates. A more bitter and
factional editorial than the one referred
to in this morning IS issue could scarcely
be produced, and yet he wants har-
mony.
How does he want harmony Why
on his own terms. Letting the minori-
ty Of the delegates of a District
make the choice Of delegates to a Ma
tional Convention, which is just as
reasonable as the proposition made by
the little boy who had bought a cake
for a penny, when he had eaten the
cake he wanted his money returned
because he then had nothing to show
for the value Of his money. Such arti-
cles as these in this mornings News are
calculated to stir up strife and bitter
ness, and unearth unpleasant recollec-
tions of the past. Men who live in glass
houses should he careful how they in
dulge in throwing stones.
VIII at we want is to discard all fac
tional sentiments; ignore all County
lines, and present united unbroken
front against the Democratic party in
this State. It is gilmore vital importance
to secure Delaware to the Republican
party, than to have Smith or Jones sent
as delegates to a National Convention
to nominate National ticket. trust
that no more such factional and preju-
diced statements as those published in
the "Morning News will ever again be
promulgated by paper callingits sci +
Republican Organ.
No FACTION BUT SOLID COLUMN.
