| II Is strange what difference there 10
~ Circumstance when the other side oc.
cupies your side. As an illustration four
mon In the Legislature kept the Republf-
cans OF delaware from having an United
states Senator chosen during the last
session at Dover. Why9 Because they did
not believe In majority rule.
After the State convention ct Dover,
when certain Republicans did not believe
In majority rule, there went up a howl
from the wing Of the party to which tho
four men mentioned belonged, because
the Higginsites would not consent to what
the same men and their followers would
not agree to one year previous.
From that day to the present there has
been nothing but discussions and conten.
tions with the result that tho party 10 d.
vided and the national, state and county
tloketc are in danger of being lost to the
Democrats.
Duty sounds Its horn for every citizen at
the present time that the people should
arise and whip the leaders into line. The
honor Of the state and the rights Of the
party are OF FAR more consequence to the
Republicans than the right Of James @.
Shaw or William Spruance to be named
as q presidential elector.
III Shaw can command greater num-
Der of votes than Spruance then let him
be the choice OF the party and II not let US
have the name of Spruance on the ticket,
and let the same deal take place In refer
ence to oil the candidates on the ticket
Clork Ford has announced that he will
not recognize two Democratic tickets and
surely he will not recognize two Republic
can tickets.
The people do not crave ut present for
Addicks for the United States Senate or
Tor higgins to 90 as consul to a foreign
port but the people shall not forbear few
leaders to defeat the party in this state
simply to satisfy the ambition Of few
men.
But while all this wrangling lie going
on every Republican should get assessed
In order that he can vote on November 3
for the county ticket. We want the en-.
tire ticket, but II the enemies of the
party continue to fight and will not com.
promise, we must be satisfied TO be united
upon Rottew, Kelley, Finn and Wright.
Republicans, this is the time to come to-
gether.
This Is the tlmo to leave the leadership
to tho people. The man who dares to
keep the Republican party spliG up this
time will be marked and his political
grave will soon be filled. ~
