BLACKBIRD. Dec. 3rd, 1891.
Is i. really a fact that all the cherish
ed hopes of the great mass of Rspubli-
can, Of our State, are to be ruthlessly
crushed by the inexcusab,e obstinancy
of a few over ambitious politicians of
Wilmington, who, TO say the least of
them, If they continue to persist in their
determination TO rule or ruin, are I'M
patriotic and are executing plot akin
to that Of Arnold's. But it cannot be
true that there are enough voters of
this character left to materially change
the result Of an election, if proper means
for reconciliation are employed. Every
matter relative to the present existing
trouble in the party has its cause and
also its effect. There is % cause then
for this constant wrangling which ike
most other differences, might be ad-
justed, ifa suitable remedy WAS APP
piled. We are of the opinion that there
are in your city, men who have sutfi.
cient ability to arbitrate and make n
temporary, if not a permanent settle
ment, of this pleasantness.
When weWeigh the the great import
ance Of speedy compromise, we are
ready to resort to almost anything that
is honorable for its accomplishment.
Let US have peace, should come up
from every heart in our ranks. Every
man who il desirous of overthroving
the minority, though predominant
party, should work fora reconciliation.
And after you Republicans of Whining
ton have exhausted your stock of mild
remedies for bringing il about, and
lind you have failed to accomplish IL,
then, but not until then, rise mp in your
might and Dust them from the party,
aud leave them make good their flight
ID the Democratic party, which they
are and have been fcrding for ten
years, with the crumbs they or mem
bers Of the party (Jo which they claim
to belong) might have appropriated to
their own right.
We are referring to no particular fac
tion, but we are referring to those in
dividuals who are unwilling TO agree
upon some plan, which will bring
about the tranquility that is 80 ardently
desired by every true hearted Republi-
can, throughout the State. Would it
not, pardon me for the suggestion, be
proper and satisfactory to all parties
ii the chairman, OF the respective City
Executive Committees would appoint
two or more good men, who are not
members of either factions, asa com
mittee, or board Of arbitration; and,
should this board find it necessary TO
increase their number, let it be vested
with the power to do 50.
His arbitrating commission should it
ever be created, should be composed Of
men whose desires for the success Of
their party are 50 strong, that they will
be actuated to work tor the good Of the
entire party, Ii it should say that either
of the existing executive committees
should still exist well and good, or,
should it say that both must disorga-
nize, and a new one be created, submit
without murmur. You may think
that we are very meddlesome down
here, well probably we are, but we do
not practice our nature for mere IDLE
pastine, but we are prompted, by pure
motives, to say what we have. We
have thoughts, and still hope that after
J
has ceased at our next State election,
and the smoke Las lifted, we might be-
hold such man as your fellow towns
man, Geo. w. Stone, ESD, seated in
the gubernatorial char. But your ac-
tions have partially bligh:ed tue thought
and made the hope leaden. Unlike you
Mr.. Editor, in your editorial on Friday.
Fun for the boys, but death to the
party" We still think that such men
az stand at the head of your executive
committee are anxious to see their par
ty gather in the golden fruit, which is
hanging within reach. 1t is doubt
less Lumiliating for them to descend
from neir present positions but they
KIN =. 10 be exalted by their party, they
mas irst be humblsd. UNA NoCE.
