What Some Republicans Think.

There are many discerning republi-
cans, whose repub.lcanlsm is just as good
and far less selfish than that of some Of
the partisan city candidates, who be-
lieve the success OF the citizens ticket
III the municipal contest would be the
best thing for republican county candi-
dates next fall. The defeat of tho "ma-
chine" now will make its smashing un.
necessary later, and leave the party in
shape to put its best men TO the front;
while the temporary success Of the So
called ''straight party movement"-en-
glneered in the sole interests of few
grasping partisans for revenue only
would merely intensity their thirst for
spoils and clinch their claims to party
leadership and control. Republicans,
who are such from principle rather than
for profit, will stand no machine domina-
tion, and some of the gentlemen now
most anxious for what they are pleased
to term party triumph will be brought
face to face with this fact in due course
OF time. II the future success of the
party is to re at all considered IN the
present campaign-and 1t mas been urged
by the Capital as the chief reason for in
citing party contest at this time-then
this feeling against bosslsm, steadily
growing among large class of repnbll.
cans, is worthy of more than passing
thought. The sooner the present repub
lican machine is overthrow the better.
1t could at best achieve only a negative
victory-an insignificant triumph pro-
life OF future party discord and certain
defeat for the bosses and their adherents

The entire non partisan ticket, headed
by a. n. Leslie for mayor, was elected at
Bismarck, with the exception of two, out
OF eight, aldermen. The campaign was
a short one, but exciting at the close, and
about the usual vote was polled. The
Tribune (republican) supported the sue
cessful ticket, composed of good men, re-
gardlees of party affiliations.
SAY THEY BEAT THE DUTCH
At Wahpeton, the republicans elected
their candidate for mayor by sixty ma

The local political situation is appar-

sition among good citizens generally to
lay aside partisanship and select mayor
and other city officials without the inter
vention OF the little coterie assuming
themselves to be guardians of the repub-

more needed than mere strikers for a

tised. Before the writer is an

The merchant that sold
them at S. and reduced them
to S. doubtless thought he was

ignorant. Ignorance is a fault
that may be pardoned, impo-
sition upon a confding public

halt upon such action, and dismiss
all Federal officers who are working to
overthrow the Democratic party, not
only in Delaware, but in the whole

l think that the Democratic administra.
ton owes it to itself and to the peo-
pie who elected it to this nefariOus

endorse, uphold and defend the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party. Any
other course breeds dissension, creates
