No Prospect of Harmony.
Dover Delawarean.
For several months number OF gentle
men, who are anxious for the success Of
the party this fall, have endeavored 10 So
cure a settlement OF tho hisseneious In the
Democratic party. In conjunction with
Others, und by tbs nOnsHut aud with the
appreciation OF Democrats from every Sec
ton Of this oounty aud the State, PROPOSE
lions, honorable and fair, looking to a hars
monious and fair settlement OF our pnrtY
troubles, difficulties and dissenslons, have
been repeatedly made.
These propositions for peace were first
made by some OF the best representative
men III the party in each county In tho
State. This effort Tor peace was hardly
treAtsd with decent respect, and nothing
came OF It. subsequently. other gentlemen
tried to bring about an understanding or an
agreement by which the party could enter
the coming struggle for supremacy In this
State, united, and ready to meet the com.
mon foe.

ment OF our troubles, that nothing could be
accomplished because OF the attitude OF
some OF the hot-headed, understandable,
| unthinklng men, who were instrumental In
defeating thb party two years ago. The
thinking and thoughtful Democrats are

| Efforts 10 bury the past differences. 1t now
looks us though pothlag can Do done or

from defeat. II seems now that the fight Of
two years ago Will be renewed, and that

toiore have emauatsd from those with
whom We acted two years ago. These
Efforts have failed not because anythini

demanded, They conceded everything
granted evsrythin', except TO abandon
principle; aud even this did not satisfy.
These men will In all probability MAKE
no further efforts Tor peace. All proposi-
tioDs looking to peace in the party In tbs
future, Will have to come from the other
side.
They will now prepare for the struggl,
and go with thsir friends. Chose who havl

that they are for harmony, when they evel
