The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-06-03

All that Is nee led now to secure
great Republican victory in Delaware
ut the coming election this fall is for
every Republican to do his whole
duty in regard to himself personally
that is for every one to he sure that
lie Is qualified to voto and keep quail
fled up to the day OF the election.
Though it is an undeniable fact that
large numbers of Democrats iut3nJ
TO vote with the Republicans this
time, and we shall be very thankful to
them for doing so, there are enough
Republicans in the State to carry it
without the aid OF single Democrat
ic vote. This is bad year for split
ting off and giving complimentary
votes to the Democrats.
There never were more vital princi-
pies OF government at stake AT any
time not only in national but in a
local sense. Under the Mckinley tar
iff bill we have had great prosperity,
and yet nothing compared to what We
will have. The Democratic party is
pledged to repeal that tariff and as
their chief allies in the work they have
the whole body Of English free traders.
One of the queer anomalies i'll politics
Is that the Democrats and English
free-traders have with them almost
solldly marshalled on their side the
lrlsh.Amerlcans who were driven from
their Irish homes by British oppres-
sion. These men may got their eyes
open after awhile and vote FOR them
selves and Tor America rather than
England. We do not want free-trade
In this country, and II we do not have
it the Democratic party must be de.
feated.
On the silver question, the Demo-
cratic party cannot be trusted to per-
form an honest part. The tendency Of
the party is to degrade the currency OF
the nation. Unfortunately in this they
are aided by few Republican silver
Senators who own silver mines, ami
who expect to get immense wealth by
selling 10 cents worth of silver to the
government for a gold dollar or &
greenback as good a5 gold dollar,
We do not want these light weight %
cont dollars Workingmeu, Of all men,
cannot afford to give 80 cents Of every
dollar they earn to the rich silver min.
owners of the western state5 and tor
rltories. As we have already said q
few Republicans have joined tile Demo
Gratis in an tempt to loot the Treas
ury of the United States to crafty
their own personal greed.
The only way to defeat these looter
Is to act with the Republican part,
that stands two-thirds anyhow iol
honest money while the Democrats
party stands mote than twO.tllirds FOL
dishonest money. We are pleased t,
state that both OF prluwaI Senators
Mi. Hseglns and Mr. Cray, are on Tn

And then ii local State sense til
