an available and possible candidate fol

suggestion Is most excellent one and 81
timely, for Mr.. Baird can be we'll said tc
be the peoples choice and If tho two fac
tions in our party now at war with each
other, care anything for the welfare Of thu
party or have any regard for the wishes Of
the people 1t cannot be shown more clearly
than by the nomination of such n man as
Mr.. Baird. He is u self-made man, has
grown up in our community and is close.
ly identified with all of the interest of oul
State; he has always been loyal and
active Republican yet not a partisan In
the sense OF making himself odious or re.
pugnant to any class and no man is more
highly esteemed or respected in the com
munity.
He will make n candidate that every
man whose leanings are toward tho Re-
publican party can vote and work for
Wilmington Is entitled to a candidate for
Governor, there not having been one here
even in tho recollection of our oldest Re-
publcans. The rank and file of tho party
are tired of this quarreling aud squabblng
that has been going on among the alleged
leaders. We want a leader that can lead,
aud one who can learn the wishes of the
people in order TO mako popular nomiha-
lions, without which no party or ticket
can win or be successful.
Let Addicks lay aside any personal feel
ing,if he has any, toward Mr. Baird and &c.
cept him as candidate for harmony and
victory, and by such action it will signify
his disposition to listen to the people aud
an endeavor to help the party win VIC
tory.
l believe all elements of the party will
rally around Charles Baird and if nomi-
mated by the Dover Convention he will
again be nominated at Georgetown on
Thursday. His selection will do much
toward giving us n united ticket and bring
harmony and desire for victory in our
party.
