Wheroas. We cannot better express our
sentiments upon the requiremnts OF the
present situation than by quoting the
following words from an addIess revently
made before the Young Mons Republican
Club OF this city. VIZ:
Power comes 10 the Republican, party
clothed with grave responsibilities. The
use made OF that power Will determine the
future OF Republican!sm In Delaware. III

regard for the welfare and honor oil our
state must marx the course to be pursued
by the Republican party il 1t Is to com.
mand the respect, confidence and support
OF the people. And without such respect,
confidence aud support the Republican
party Will necessarily meet with disaster
aud go down in disgrace and Republican,

| paraiyzed Tor want of an effective organi-
| zRtion 10 serve at once as its mouthpiece
anu agency. There are hundreds--nay
thousunds--of pelawareaus by birth or
adoption who. for lnoio than u quarter OF
century, bave loyalty supported the Re-
| publican party, not IN the hope OF obtain

the sake OF good government To rosult

men who have ut heart tho welfare aud
honor Of their state and expect and de.

leading to political psrditlon and the
other to Republican strength and perma.
