FooKs' NAME WITHDRAWN.
Jacob Moore, Esq, Of Sussex, was
loudly applauded as he arose to ad-
dress the Convention. "I came here to-
day as q delegate from Sussex County
to serve the best interests Of the Repub-
lican party of Delaware" said Mr
Moore. He came he said as he bell eved
all had come, with a sincere desire that
the actions Of the Convention may be
harmonious and that the nominations
made may be ratified by the people.
He hoped the time had gone by never
to return when factional strife will
show itself in Republican State Con-
vsntion in Delaware, strife in the past
which all must sincerely deplore. He
referred to the bright prospects of sue
cess Of the Republicans and advised his
hearers not to throw away the prospects
by bringing discord and strife into the
convention, The people of the State
want to see the Republican party in
power, and "pardon me Mr.. Chair.
man." said Mr.. Moore, "they don't
care a d--n who gets the Off COS.
Mr.. Moore said he had been Repub.
lican since 1861 and before tn at time he
admitted that he was mean enough to
be Democrat and he looked back to
the time with sorrow. The Republican
party was on its march to q glorious
victory and he would not be willing to
put straw in its pathway to success.
The people are sick and tired of Demo-
cratic misrule and he believed as our
platform WAS right the candidates nom-
mated by the convention would be
ratified by the people and if they unite
victory will perch upon our banners.
After some hesitation Mr.. Moore pro-
ceeded to say that much had been said
as to the nomination of Benjamin f.
Fooks. He had known Mr.. Fooks all
his life time. They were boys together
in the streets of Laurel. He knew that
Mr.. Fooks heartily desired the election
Of the ticket nominated but he had NO
intention to accept the nomination un.
less 1t came with something like unan-
unity. The nomination of Mr.. Fooks,
Mr.. Moore believed would not be the
proper thing to do at this time, and
"my duty to perfect harmony, de-
mands that should as now do, with
draw the name Of Benjamin +. Fooks
as candidate with the understanding
that yield my voice and vote to the
nomination Of Albert Curry of Sussex.
Anthony Higgins, ESQ.,, arose for.
mally to nominate Albert Curry, say
ing that "the day and the hour have |
come when the republicans of Della
ware are to nominate their candidate |
for Governor" and he believed the day
and the hour had come when we were
nominating the next Governor of the
State. Mr.. Higgins did not deny that
many Republicans Of New Castle coun-
ty entertained deep desire to have the
taken from their own county.
They were not insensible to the coming
impulses of reform that are 80 strongly
stirring the popular mind. They be-
lieved that they could give the MAORI.
ty that oonld elect the candidate and
they were ready to name the man who
could bring QUO that majority, but this
was not the time for New Castle. 1t
was the turn fo- Sussex. Twenty
years ago Sussex furnished the only
candidate ever elected Gov.
ernor of Delaware, he came from Sus-
sex county, and today, said Mr.. Hig-
gins. 1--WE drop tear and tri butte on
;he grave of William Cannon"
The Republicans of New Castle be.
ieVe that with one of Sussex's sons for
! candidate for Governor, this great
1attle can be won and the nominaI
ion Is freely conceded to that county.
She has agreed upon her choice and is
lere ready tO confirm 1t. The candi-
late she presents Is one not unknown
% us. A long lifetime of unstained in
egrity and unflinching public spirit
las made Albert Curry known and {
IGNORED throughout the State. One
,etter qualified for the arduous and re-
ponsible position of Governor cannot ]
70 found from one end Of the State to
he other.
He stands before the people irrespec {
i've of party as gentleman, worthy of
he highest confidence. Pledging to I
lin the hearty support of the Repub- I
leans of New Castle county, l beg to
dominate for Governor Albert Curry t
# Delaware, and in doing so believe f
he nomination will receive the fullest L
md amplest confirm alton both from 1
he cause and from the man.
Benaiah Watson, Esq, ofKent coun. a
y eloquently seconded the nomination, o
md said "Let the slogan of the Repub.
lean party from the blue rocks Of the I
3randywine to the pine forest of Sus g
