mIltee's Action,

| The City Republican Executive COM
mittce of which John G. Baker is chair
man held a meeting last night which
was largely attended and at which the
following short cut to union and bar
mony was adopted.
To the Republican voters of Whining
ton:
The regular Republican City Com
mittee, after its appointment in June
last, met and organized, and, as their
right was challenged, they published
their reasons, and said, "if not in &C
cordancc with the rules of the party
they would adjourn at once All
challengers failed to makeany reply,
and our title WAS good and valid. We
have held on until the present time,
although dissatisfied Republicans have
made overtures, and we have met them
in the spirit OF fairness, and, although
insulted and called rutiians and
rowdies we have passed all slurs by
with the contempt they merited, made
concessions, not because they were en-.
titled to any, standing as legal claim
ants, but because, impregnable in our
position, We could afford to be generous
to them. We found, after their
arriving at conclusions, they will break
faith with us and not keep any con.
tracts. We desire to say, thai reitera-
ting, after mature reflection and care
full deliberation, all our former posi-
tioDs of regularity of appointment, etc,
and fealty to the true interests of party,
and waving no rights inherent in US as
committee, by virtues o: our negoti
atoms of the past with the dissatisfied
ones, but ready at all times to defend
our actions against all comers, we have
to say that for the success of Eepubli-
canism in Delaware, over and above
all personal considerations, and throw.
ing everything in the dead past behind
us, am authorized to make the
following proposition to the people,
viz;
That Senator Edward Belts, Levy
Court commissioner, ChriStiana Fehl-
ger, and Colonel Daniel lanes bs ap-
pointed committee to name a City
Executive Committee to serve until the
Second Saturday Of February, 1888. |
The only qualifications required, that
they be men who do not vote the Bemo-
cratic ticket and viii attend ~ city
business alone, these gentlemen 10 St.
lcCt committee Of six men from each |
ward, who shall serve AS Executive |
for said ward, and that we
will recognize them as such, and clothe
them with all the powers Conferred on
us by the people il town meeting, as
sembled last June. And We call on all |
good Republicans, re c5ularS, dissatisfied
ones, boilers, halt breeds, stalwarts, re- |
formers, rullians, ro Sdies, or by what
ever name you may he called; let US all
rise above all differences, lag them on
the altar Of party unity and let them
b.. consumed, and rallying around the
p.d flag with closed ranks, let Us with
united front charge the common enemy
and redeem our city, county and State
from Democratic misrule.
