A CorrsspOndens Wants TO Know
what has Become OF the White
MANS Party.
Special Correspondence Of the REPUBLICAN.
MooRToE, Del, August 81, $50.
I write 10 ask, what has become OF
the "White Mans party" in Delaware.
We have not heard from II since the
Cincinnati Convention when the Dem
ocratic party endorsed the XIII, XIX
aud XIV amendments toIthe Constitution.
And now our Delaware Democracy In
their late State Convention slso virtu.
ally endorse all the amendments
and the results Of the war and not a
word is said about the White Mans
party. The dear old "DslawareAn, !"
the party and the family organ Of
Kent, even favors 'nigger' equality. II
thinks clubs ought to be organized and
II they wont work successfully separ-
ately mix them together. Now the pa
per that gets this "Off'' is the Dslawa-
rean, the very sheet that run the
"White Mans party as long as 1t was
run In this county.
So far as my interests 90 In politics,
have no objection to the Democratic
party Of Delaware advocating negro
equality, but l hate to see the dear
old white mans party 90 down at this
critical moment when it Is In full
bearing. A glorious victory is to
perch upon the banner Of some party,
and II is q shame for the white mans
party to, Withdraw from the field and
continue to advocate negro equality
without waiting to see who the victor
shall be.
1t looks as II some queer thing was
to turn up in Delaware politics this
fall and the Democracy see this as
readily as others. The Democracy fails
to organize thoroughly for Hancock
and English. There is = large element
in the party, sick Of the situation, who
ran away from Republioanism for pro-
lection from the negro. They And now
that the white mans party, Is no white
mans party at all, and the Democratic
party has got to advocating negros equal
ity. The element referred to feel that
they must vote for true Union SOL
disr for President, and they will sup
port the one put forth by the party that
fought to save the nation from de-
struotion, while the Democratic party
with which they have been identified
fought TO overturn the best government
in the world.
These men now have just as fair 3
chance to get back in the party as they
had In the Greeley campaign and they
will avail themselves Of the opportu'
nifty. The Democracy see this anG they
fail to conceal their real feelings.
Ny Democra attic neighbors think that
am using strong language when l say
they fought TO destroy this government.
Well cannot help 1t. There was q
mighty army combined against the
Union. There was not solitary Re-
publican in 1t.
They were all Democrats. l well re-
member when this same Democratic
party refused to allow. the old flag to
float over the State House at Dover.
aud they refused to walk under it in
the streets.
1t was . dirty rag then, and 1t was
the rag that huttered above Hsnceck's
head when they shot him down st
Gettysburg, but 1t Is . precious EN-.
blem now, and without repenting OF
their sins, they rally around 1t.
But Mr.. Editor, what has become OF
the white mans pArtyf Cannot you
get some information from your neigh
Dor the GaEsttsf think the editor
might be induced to give us chapter on
the white Mans party Of Delaware.
