\ Few Words ih Behalf ~ Mr. Treat
To the Editor OF the ErENiSG JouRSAr.
ALLOW mo 10 make few suggestions In
behalf OF one who Is dear to me. and
should rightly be to every Republican Of
Sussex county, If not Of all Delaware.
If by the ungentlemanly slanderous in
situations and cowardly assaults made by
the sorely defeated Democrats of Della
ware any Of Sussex Representatives
/ should be led Astray in the coming and
close at hand Senatorial contest and do a
rash act in the desertion of our able and
worthy comrade, Charles b Treat.
should most surely as a staunch Republi-
can, consider them ungrateful and un-
loyal TO one who won In great measure
their victory for them l say this not
unthoughtedly, but after profound and
thorough consideration. Mr. Treat at the
desire and choice OF his own
people, went to Chicago in June, and
while we do not mean to speak of his ac-
tion there, we will simply assert that be
represented fully Delaware's sentiments
He brought 80 Sussex county the enthu-
siasm, that once cast abroad by him,
continued to burn in the hearts of the
old and rusty mechanism Of the Rcpubli-
can party and by continued efforts
aroused them in measure from their
lethargy which once done, did he stop?
NO, but persistently kept it before their
minds. Aside from arousing the old. he
opened new element, the young faction,
established their confidence and in the
hour Of success every young Republican
as well as old, was ready to point to the
source Of their victory IN Charles II.
/ Treat, proud Of him to the very core Of
his heart
Again in September he was chosen by
his own people, as nominee for represen.
tative in Congress He still worried and
not alone for himself, but for every pres
ent legislator elect at the same time. He
could hardly expect to be elected himself,
but he worked on, toiled on, and tainted
not, neither did he weary in well doing.
Hand in hand did he 60 with every candi-
date In the field Of Sussex county they
had only to expect strength in this
county, while he had to run throughout
the state. Did he work for you, Messrs.
Legislators? Did he work for Messrs
Senatorsf Did any individual do more
for you than did Mr. Treatg beg OF
You in Justice to your own consciences IN
time to come aud for the welfare of Re
publican success IN our county in the fu-
ture, to consider well before you act.
Don't think for once Of deserting him in
this critical moment when all Of Della
wares fair, beautiful and angelic Democ
racy are bound together in one con.
temptible conspiracy to overthrow
him. Soreg Yes, sore, and rightly
they should be for. the one
they would now defeat, caused many
a painful disappointment to thom. as
Sussexs Democrats. While they have
labored for years and years to hold their
prey by foul assessments and treacherous
schemes, such as only that party can
scheme, Charles H. Treat was the one
who did moie than any other man to re.
lease old Sussex from her degradation
and bondage. And now would or could
any one who holds in his power vote to
be cast for some man to go to the United
States Senate be induced by the
defeatods assaults to desert Mr.. Treat in
view of all these factsi No; not If you
consider before you act
A SUSSEX COUNTY VOTER.
