U.111.r tho Republicsn Party.

The past dissensions in the Republic
can party Of this city and State have
been source Of constant pleasure and
consolation to the Democracy. While
the Republicans have been opposing
zach other in factional quarrels. the
Democrats, like sly Reynard, always
slipped In and carried off the plum
But now that the factional fires are
diving out and the star ascendant Of the
Republican party looms up shining
brilliantly ss 1t rises with promise OF
victory for the future. there is not 30
much hilsrity and joy in the back seats
Of the Democratic camp. None know
better than they that they are in mi
nority in the city and State, and when
the Republicans settle their little fac
tional disputes they will arise like a
young giant and crush the Democracy
TO atoms. The present successful efforts
being made to heal all past differences
in the party will be discounted by tho
Democratic organs and Senator Bay
ards tail-piece at Fifth and Market
streets. 1t will be to their interest to
keep up these factionaI fights amongst
the Republicans, because by so doing
they open road In which they have an
easy march to victory All true Re
publicans will rejoice to know that the
efforts now being male to unite the
Republicans into harmonious party |
will completely flank the march of the
Democracy, and by way of parenthe.
sis, we would suggest that all Republi.
cans who do not or will not use their
efforts to heal all past party differences
and join in securing a victory over the
common enemy, step over to the en-
emy at once. The Republicans are in
majority in the State and they are tired
of playing into the eneny's hands any
longer. BY the union of forces which
is now being made they serve notice
upon the Democracy that they must 60. |
They have surveyed the field, have
counted their strength and find that
they are are able when united to wrest
the State from the party that has mis-
ruled and misrepresented it. They see
two Democrats in the Senate of the |
United States; . Democrat in the Ma
tionsl House Of Representatives al
Democrat in the Governors chair; gem
orally unanimously Democratic Legis- |
lature; every county Office in the State
(two excepted) filled by Democrats; al
Democratic Mayor and Democratic
police force for the city of Wilmington,
AID We are not surprised that they in.
wardly exclaim, "What fools we have
been, to let minority of the voters O.
the State fill all the Offices and govern
it, while by union Of all eppoaition
the Republicans could have now been
filling all the Offices the Democrats are
filling, and have governed the State
wiser than the Democracy have done"
However these by cones are past not
tO return again. 1t will be for the Re
publicans now to build stronger by the
experience Of the past, and to $50 that
there Is not repetition Of that suicidal
DOliCy which has given the State and
City to the Democracy so long, while
the other eide was entitled to its gov
ornment by the superiority Of numbers
had they been concentrated. We hope
shat hereafter the actions of the
Republicans in all their meetings and
conventions will be such that the posi-.
ton Of affairs will be reversed and that
Republicans will be better pleased than
Democrats at the actions of their own
party.
