wilmington, Del, Oct, ~, 1886.
To the Editor OF the Daily Republican.
Sir: have for some time past read your
paper, and nave been particularly Impress
ed with your advocacy or Jonathan ..
Wililss interest to the detriment OF the
ReTMbllcan party. l have great reluctance
to take part In any newspaper controversy,
but feel | would be false to every prinei-
pie hold dear as Republican, as lover
oil good government, and my desire TO nave
my native state honorably represented IN
Congress, should | hesitate TO reply to the
inslhuatng and ingenious dehial MADE ny
Mr.. WarDurton in LIS speech at the opera
House last evening" OF the charges made by
me against Jonathan 5. Wills. l am sur
prised that gentleman OF Mr. Warburton's
ability and love OF truth should be drawn
into such sophistical denial OF the charges
that Mr.. Willis was traitor to the Repub-
licsn party. Mr.. Warburton, it is reported,
stated that Mr. Willis told him that he had
never spoken to Democratic senator in
regard to the seating OF Colonel DUPONT
until after the question was decided This
only corroborates what Mr.. Willis stated
when called before the Sussex county cau-
Gus at the Georgetown convention, viz:
That notwithstanding he believed Colonel
DUPONT had been legally elected senator
his willis position at Washington was one
of indifference as to his being seated-and
that If the matter was brought up at Wash
ington he would romain Indifferent This
alone is conclusive evidence that he was
more the tool of Mr.. Addcks than the loyal
representative of the State of Delaware and
the Republican party. Either the report of
Mr.. Warburtons conversation with Mr..
Willis. or his acknowledged indifference
before the Sussex county caucus at the
Georgetown convention proves Mr.. Willis
to be traitor not only to the Republican
party, but to every Republican principle. 1t
was his duty to speak not only to one, but
every Democratic senator at Washington,
not only to one, but to every Republican
senator at Washington.
1t was his duty If he had the slightest in
terest in the Republican party, or any re-
gard for Republican principles, and be-
lieved as he stated he did believe. that Col
onel DUPONT was legally elected senator. to
labor incessantIv using every honorable
method and influence to seat him. He
should have explaiped not only to each
senator and to each representative but
every nerson Of influence with whom he
came in contact that Colonel DUPONT was
fairly entitled to his seat in the Senate.
Nay. more he sbnuld have confined every
in ufluence that he could command to secure
tho seating of Colonel DUPONT. Never in
the history of our government was it more
importaDt to seat a Republican in the Sen
ate. Never was a vote in the Senate for
sound money and honest government more
needed and never was a man more false to
his country, to his state or to his party,
than was Jonathan s. Willis during the last
session of Congress. He could defend and
