Who will be.the Congressional nominee2
For several weeks, IN fact, since the Chi
cago convention many Republicans have
urged upon Charles H. Treat, Esq. that
he allow his name to be presented at the
state convention Mr.. Treat yesterday
consented that his friends might use his
name, and as Sussex has not had the
honor Of Republican Congressional
nominee for twenty two years. or
since 1866, she will 60 to Dover on
Thursday, September 20, and question tho
declaration, it is kent's turn now. 1t
is the turn Of the Republican party to
nominate the strongest and best man
This is q live and an active campaign
with an issue in which the people are in
terested. There is no man in the state
better equipped to discuss that issue and
to whom the people will give more earn
est heed than to Charles H. Treat For
over eleven years Mr. Treat has been en-
gagged in manufacturing in Sussex county
He is the head Of the G. H. Treat
Manufacturing Company and the Sussex
Manufacturing Company, located in this
town, and employing $50 hands He is
identified with the interests Of the farm
ers and fruit growers, being the county
lecturer of the SUSSEX Pomona Grange,
and one Of the leading spirits in estab-
fishing the Delaware Fruit Exchange
Mr.. Treat is a liberal aud progressive
man in every respect. and was one Of the
strongest advocates for the erection Of
the new and c0mmodious school building
here, although the largest tax payer in
the town and without chick or child" to
receive direct benefit from the school
Mr. Treat canyassed this county for con
stitutional reform as presented in the
state temperance platform two years ago,
drawing larger audiences than any other
speaker Of either party in that campaign.
IL nominated he will go into the work
this fall with zest and zeal that will
surprise and captivate the people. If
the young Republicans of Delaware, by
whom theymust be redeemed fromBourbon
Democracy when il is, consult their inter
ests they will nominate Charles II. Treat
in whom they have strong and true
friend in whom they may have eandi-
date who knows no faction, and no dis
sensions, but a united party and a united
leadership against the common enemy
What answer New Castle and Kent2
The Georgetown Republican Club has
rented a room more central than was the
one occupied and fitted it up as head
quarters, where all Republicans and re-
pentant Democrats viii always receive
cordial welcome
The sun is shining brightly this morn
ing, the first time for ten davs The
gloomy and rainy spell Of weather has
cost the people Of this county thousands
of dollars Tons of tomatoes, thousands
of baskets Of peaches and much fodder
have been ruined and lost. Sunlight was
never more welcomed
