Toe Democratic County Committee
William Herbert, chairman, met at The
Court House this afternoon and issued the
following address:
To the Democrats Of New Castle County.
FELLOW DEMOCRATS: At our county
meeting held at Nav Castle, May &c. in sc.
cordance with the rules Of our party, d
number Of men who have heretofore acted
as Democrats, dissatisfied with the ex.
pressed and manifest wish OF very large
msjority Of those present, withdrew from
the meeting to hall previously rented for
tns purpose and there attempted to form
new party.
Do not be deceived. The ma jority Of our
party must rule it's affairs, and it is per-
haps better for us to know our enemies
than to have them lie hid within our
organization. With the "boltersn from
our meeting, it is ''rule or ruin.n and find
ing it impossible to rule our party by q
minority vote. they now try to ruin 1t.
They may succeed in achieving Democratic
defeat at the coming election, but your
committee, legally and properly appointed
under our rules and with the true Demo-
orats Of this county at its back, win do
what 1t can to prevent such disaster to
our party, our county, aud perhaps our
state.
As party we cannot compromise or
bend TO the wishes, or whims OF a boiling
minority. To yield to them means disrup-
tion and defeat: to meet them With flrm
and united front means Democratic success
ard the discoursgeme OK all disruptloaists
and disorganizers
Let every true Democrat be firm and
steadfast in his adherence to cur party and
its glorious traditions and principles: and
let us all redouble cur efforts and with an
overwhelming victory continue to tri-
umph over Republicanism in every form
and all its allies.
Our primary elections win soon be held
throughout the country. They must be
held in accordance with the primary cleo
tion law and all judges of election shall, so
far as your executive committee can &C.
complish It, be absolutely fair and impair
tial No vote can be entertained for any
candidate who has not pledged himself 10
support the successful nominee according to
our party rules, and all candidates must bs
careful in this respect.
Better defeat than a departure from the
rule Of the majority, WEIGH is the essence Of
true Democracy; but standing shoulder to
shoulder, using all honorable means. and
bending all our energies to our work, we
can and will wiu success. and preserve to
our state and county the blessings Of Dem
ocratic rule WIN HERBERT.
