their partisan press. It has influenced
Republicans and conservative men
and must continue to- influence them
unless it is met. II the Republican edi-
tors would unite in sustaining their
leaders and in systematically calling
our friends, the enemy, to account for
any and all Misrepresentation it would
strengthen the Republican Party, and
lead to Republican victory. This is our
belief. We think it worthy the consid-
GRAFTON of the Republicanso of Delaware
and especially Of the Republican news
paper men of the State.
Already Mr.. Bach's motives in re-
signing have been called in question
by his party opponents. His friends
have known for months that for year
past he has been c,.ntemplating this
move, his business demands it, and no
regard for Democratic feeling and no
influence from Addickism has had any
thing to do with it. Personally Mr..
Bach can afford to resign but the party
can ill afford to SPARE his services. The
best-posted Republicans know this
now and others will acknowledge it in
the future which will completely vim
dicate Mr.. Bach of all the evil that has
been said of him. This is poor COM
pensation for his services, but let Re-
publicans learn lesson here and now.
Our tribute to the character and worth
of the man who has silently bourn the
representation and abuse of his
parry opponents for the sake of his
party, is sincere, and hundreds Of the
truest party men in the State unite
with US in this commendation and ap-
pr, citation of his services. Again we
ask, Will not Republicans learn les.

LAST week the Republican Congress
passed the bill prohibiting the immi-

of the last Congress did nothing in this
direction though they made promises
