We have no doubt that the Democrats
OF this state have not forgotten how the
chairman Of the New Castle meeting ia
May last appointed the Democratic
Executive Committee Of New Castle
county needless OF the expressed
wishes Of the Democrats from the
several hundreds contrary To the
nsages and customs of the party /,
in other words how he enforced
the much.talled Of unit rule Neither
have they forgotten the fact that
a very large number Of the men who com
posed that assemblage withdrew there
from and organized a second committee
in accordance with the party customs, nor
have they forgotten how these men
constituting the second committee, after
considering well the matter, subordinated
their grievances TO the welfare of the
party and dishnnded in the interests of its
success. They regarded the supremacy
oftthe Democratic party in this state Of
infinitely more Importance than the re
sentmant Of the violation of mere party
usage that would involve the triumph OF
the Republican party and its obnoxious
doctrines
Now let us see what the Delawarean
said in respect to the action of these men
who organized that second committee,
Here is the Delawarean's own language,
written by its boiling editor:
"IFhey ought to be ashamed of their
action and they should come back into
the party and redouble their efforts to
achieve Democratic victory. Their ac-
tion is certainly censurable, and will re-
ceiye the condemnation Of every true
Democrat in the state but no man who
loves the Democrat party, its teachings
and principles, and desires success, can
or will support either them or those who
are apologists for them. They are boilers
and disruptionists and as such they viii
merit the severest condemnation of Dem.
ocrats IN every section of the state.
There are anumber Of good Democrats
who were induced and influenced BY
those whom they had heretofore loo lSed
upon as leaders to withdraw from the
meeting. We hope and trust that they
will lose no time in publishing to the
world their intention Of returning to the
Democratic party Such action on their
part would put them right before the
public, besides itlwould be.straight forward
and manly, and would rebound to their
credit, and give them proper standing
IN the party in the future
Il will be seen that the Delawaresn
said concerning those men that ''they
ought TO be ashamed Of their action and
they should come back into the party and
redouble their efforts to achieve Demo
cratic victory" Ought not the present
conduct Of the editor and owners Of the
Delawarean to bring the blush of shame
TO their brazon cheeks and cause them to
redouble their efforts to carry the party
10 victory which has given them all the
prominence which they have hitherto
enioyed2 for they have said (and who
shall have the audacity to challenge ito
that their present treacherous conduct
will receive the condemnation Of every
true Democrat in the state. The editors
and owners Of the Delawarean know now
as they knew then, that those who love
the Democratic party its teaching and
principles and desires its success. can or
will support either them or those who
are apologiSts for them, for they are. in
the language Of the same editorial Dol
tiers and disruptionists, and as such they
will receive the reward their treachery
merits
