DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

There have been earnest pleas anlonu 9
sincere Republicans for a compromise
between the two tickets nominated in
this State that the party may win a
victory on November Sd. The average
Republican is desirous of winning, and
the more so because he thinks this an
opportunity when victory should be
easy. Others, Of each ticket evidently
believe that their candidates stand for
an idea or principle and with many
of them a compromise is impossible.
With a view of securing one electoral
ticket the Regular Republicans made
through their electors and their State
Committee propositions to the Union
Republicans which were universally
acknowledged 20 be fair and honorable,
but which were rejected. No compro-
mise appears to be their motto. They
answered in long address to the
people in which they claimed them
selves to be in the right in all things
and said their leader, Mr.. Addicks,
/" never prevented the election of
a Republican United Safes Senator or
the reelection Of Mr.. Anthony Hig-
gins to the Senate" They even ap-
peal to the Legislative Journal to prove
this in the face of the boast of Mr..

of the county. There was some difference
of opinion upon the endorsement of parts
of the Union Republican Ticket but the
greatest unanimity in the selection of an
independent Legislative ticket which
should owe allegiance to no man. The
following ticket was nominated:
State Senator-John Heitscher, of East

Since several of the candidates on the

not "Addicks men" that part of the ticket
was adopted as whole. There was prop

DELAWARE FOR MCKINLEY.

The Union Republicans having re-
jected all overtures for compromise
upon the electoral ticket made to them
by Mes rs. Spruance and Hayes and
the Republican State Committee, the
Regular Republican electors have re-
signed and the names of Messrs. Shaw
and Wilson have been substituted.
Chairman Browne in brief letter laid
the matter before the National Com
mittee, stating the facts and received
an answer commencing the patriotic
efforts Of the Regular Republicans to
unite upon single ticket but declining
to offer advice or to make suggestions
even. With these conditions confront
ing them, with strong desire upon
the part of the people to cast an effec-
tive ballot for Mckinley and Hobart,
Messrs. Spruance and Hayes on Wed
nesday offered their designations with
patriotic desire to have the vote of
Delaware cast for the Republican
nominees, and the State Committee
acted upon their suggestions naming
Messrs. Shaw and Wilson, the nomi-
nees of the Dover Convention. This is
a voluntary act, with the most uneelf-
ish motives and it is hoped that all Re-
publicans will put aside any prejudice
they may have and to cast their votes
for Mckinley, the Office of the elector
being purely ministerial and it matters
little who may act as the agent of the
people in this respect so the vote is
cast. This should and undoubtedly
does guarantee the electoral vote of
Delaware to the Republican nominees.
1t is that for which not only Republi-
cans but other sound money men have
been waiting, somewhat impatiently.
and the men who have made the con-
cessions deserve the concentrations of
every honest voter for Mckinley.

Addicks at st. Louis before the Ma.
tional Committee that he had defeated
the election Of Mr.. Higgins. But every
intelligent voter knows the history OF
that contest and that Mr.. Higgins
withdrew and that Mr.. Addicks held
four votes to the last against Col. du-
Pont. This fact must raise doubts in
the minds as the other statements of
that address. 1t is the duty of every
Republican to consider the situation
and to cast conscientious vote. 1t is
foolish for Republicans who have been
friends to quarrel because they cannot
agree.
The TRANSCRIPT desires as earnestly
and as sincerely as any Republican to
see the party win victory in the State
this fall but it d es not believe in the
sacrifice Of principle to win. for such a
victory must be barren. There are Re-
publicans who are just as desirous for
a compromise on the State ticket as
they were for a single electoral ticket.
When questioned as to how it can be
done the general answer is ''half and
half" The answer is easy but let
these same anxious Republicans try to
effect that compromise and they will
see how difficult it is. There are four
nominations for the State ticket-two
for Governor and two for Congress
four nominees with but two offices, and
the friend, of each are unwilling to
sacrifice their particular friend. It
takes patriotism and self sacrifice on
the part of candidates and their friends
to make concessions, but without con-
cessions nothing can be done. Mr..
Addicks has said most emphatically
that under no circumstances will he
yield, though many of his followers are
credited with an earnest desire that an
understanding shall be had. Will Mr..
Addicks have his way in this matter
and if so are there any Republicans
who are "opposed to Addicksism" and
yet will encourage him with a votep 1t
is the duty of Republicans to weight
these matters and to vote according
to the dictates of conscience. In all
things nc;ples should be considered
before men.

FARMER is much gratifed" with
his discussion with the TRANSCRIPT
and so are we. Ten months of 1892
had passed before the election and
while it is our opinion most emphat-
ically that the Wilson Tariff law be-
gan to go into effect practically the
morning after the election, yet the
stomach of the laboring man would
not discover it SO soon, probably not
for some months, hence there can be
little doubt of the correctness of the
assertion Of the "Pioneer Press' that
$50, 900, 600 bushels less of wheat were
consumed in 1894 than in 1892, chiefly
because of the reduced ability of the
people to pay. This is our opinion. As
to the other question, the worlds pro-
duction of wheat, our authority is that
excellent and usually accurate paper.

KENT AND SUSSEX REPUBLICANS.
Tie Republicans of Kent and Sussex
counties have this week put county
tickets ia nomination. In Kent only
leg i,lative ticket was named but in
Sussex full ticket and strong ticket
was nominated, endorsing only the
Union candidate for sheriff. The force
OF the opposition to Mr.. Addicks is
surprising to all, where he has claimed
everything. 1t is believed the vote
will bea still greater surprise in its
strength. The men who are opposed
TO the one man power are determined
to meet the issue where he has forced
lt-at the polls. 1t only remains for
all who think that way to stand to.

first two days of registration there
were reg istered in Sussex county over
seven hundred white Republicans who

support the ticket named this week.
Not half the vote was then registered
and in most of the districts it is be-
lieved at least half of the colored men
will vote ihe same ticket. To-show
their feeling against the selfshpess
that would sacrifice even the electoral
ticket nole than 400 Republicans Of

protest and pledge:

KENT,s sELFIsHNEss.

Not for thirty years had the Repub-
licans of New Castle county candid
ate for governor; there has been none
between James Riddle and John G.
Higgins. Both Kent and Sussex have
had Republican Gubernatorial nomi-
nees in that period who should have
been elected. Sussex county two years
ago unanimously presented the name of
Joshua Fl. Marvil and he was accepted
and elected, New Castle county cast
ing IS per cent. Of the vote to that
purpose, Sussex % per cent, and Kent
10 per cent. In 1882 Sussex had a
candidate in Albert Curry, the cam
paign of the "New Constitution" and
his election seemed assured until a
few days before the ballots were cast.
In 1870 the Hon. Thomas B. Coursey
of Spring Mills, Kent county, was
nominated and should have been elec-
ted. fractional differences helped to
defeat him. Four years later Dr. Isaac
Jump Of Dover. being of the other
faction in Kent county, was nomina-
ted and he was defeated. The politic-
ians Of Kent promised his election at
the time Of his nomination. Ex-Gov.
Cochran was his opponent. There have
haap othar nominations from Kent and
Sussex but these four we recall because
at the time they were made it was with
the hope of victory, a victory which
came not until 1894.
In all honor and fairness if the Re-
publican Party had been united in the
beginning of this campaign to what
county would the people have looked
for the Gubernatoiral nomineep Look
at the vote cast at the last election and
answer.
