The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-04-19


The Republican party of New Castle
county, by the action OF it's county
committee, started last Saturday In a
campaign which we believe will be one
OF the most active and exciting of any
that has stirred up the people for
many years past. The committee
meeting was but the prelude to many
more political meetings that are to

upon for the election OF delegates TO
the State Convention, and to elect
new county committee. The State
Convention is to meet in Dover on
May 9Th, to elect delegates to the Ma
tional Convention at Minneapolis Sat

the nomination Of sheriff and coroner.

Commissioner. Besides all these will
be a large number of committee meet

OF the Democrats in giving them any
opportunities at all for paying taxes.
But Republicans will have to put up
with this for the sake OF the cause
they espouse and with the hope that
there will be turn In the law some
day. The harder Republicans work
the sooner they will come to that turn
Now, theD,ar the Republicans prepar-
ed for the great work that is before
them? The great secret of success
next to paying taxes is harmony and
desire that the party shall bo first and
self second. Tho candidate who
thinks that the party was made for his

direction mistakes the mission of
