The Republicans of Sussex county

theirs. 1t seems that it is anything to

| The arduous duties involved on Mr..
| Stansbury Wiley rs Chairman Of the
| Union Republican Party are brought on
| a bad spell of sickness, and on Thursday
he was SO sick that he could not leave his
| residence at Claymont to como i'll to his
office. liai reported much better to-day.
To-day we are treated to u letter from
| Mr.. Mark Hanna in answer to one sent by
| Mr.. Hugh Browne OF the Republican
State Committee He says he leaves ii 0
tanglc TO the Republicans Of Delaware TO
straighten out, trusting that the good
l
best interest of tho whole party, which
has hitherto characterized their conduct
| will in the end find some solution and
save the electoral vote for Mckinley and
| Hobart.
In other words Mark does not hang out
| any balm to smooth over the difficulties
| to get tho two warning factions together.
| In other words it begins to look like a
fight to the finish. The strongest man
| will survive and the Democratic party
| will get all the plums,
In u few days Wash Hastings will be
| ome again and possibly Watson II. will
| be with him.
1t is said by the very best of authority
| that eX.postmaster Daniel +. Stewart
was appointed postmaster through the
efforts of f. Eden Bach, and in spite of
the efforts made by certain well known
Republicans in our city. who tried to talk
Fred out of It. Now Fred and Dan do
not speak as they pass by. This is one Of
the funny things seen in politics by tho
man who sits on the fence.
Then again the editor of the Afro-Ame:.
lean Citizens supposed to be Il acolored man
gets to know all Of tho business that trans
pires at the Republican headquarters.
Some of the articles that appear in that
sheet of some few hundred circulation
sound as if they came from the pen of the
man who writes the Republican glasses in
the Sunday star. They bear his very ear
marks. This is something that. should not
take place Molasscs always caught more
flies than vinegar An migrate mover made
friends with the masses or never will.
We are yet looking for II compromise
between the Higgins and Addit Ks factions
With the withdrawal of Mr.. AddiCks
from the Union Republican purity it
would close up its doors at once. His
money keeps tho wheels of tho political
machinery going. No grease, no wheels
to revolve.
Senator George Gray was down for o
speech at the Auditorium for the sound
Money League, but being threatened with
an attack" of typhoid fever may net be
able to keep his engagement The Sena-
tor, we have been told, was not overly
anxious to make II speech tor the League,
anu probably his spell of sickness came
at the right time, thus relieving him from
an awkward position. He being for
Handy for Congress ard to speak az
Sound Money League meeting don't go
well together.
The Single Takers have swallowed the
State ticket which is prima fncla evidence
that they are Democrats masquerading
under another name The Single takers
were never accused of being consistent
and this latest move of theirs bear this
OUT.
The speakers were thrust into the Dover
Jail for speaking on the streets or mat
ancient town Whole columns appeared
in the Philadelphia papers ,whao they In.
tended to do on being released Now in.
stead Of carrying out their threats they
fall into line and vote for the worry man
who had been instrumental in placing
them behind the bars. such Is the lalth
Of a Democrat.
The Single Taxcr who spoke to crowd
from box at Fourth and Market street on
Monday night was indirectly responsible
for fight that took place between two
over.zeal Gus men who from words came to
blows. Tho single tax orator made his es-
cane while the combat was going Oh, us ne
thought discretion the better pare OF
valor.
Although W. II. Berry Of Chester coun-
ty challenged Mr.. John 5. Rossell to dc
bate ON the silver question, which Mr.. h.
promptly declined owing to press OF Dusl-
nc,s us an officer OF tho Security Trust
Company, that docs not say that he could
not hold his own in any argument on this
question with any gentleman. Mr.. ROs-
sell Is an old newspaper man, having been
in tho business for seventeen years
before he cama to Wilmington. Moreover |
he is Il perfect genFlcmau and does not |
court undue publicity. Politically he
differs with the writer, but he Is honest in |
has tho writer's respect.
In answer to a letter sent Chairman
Hanna of the National Republican Com
mittce by Hugh c. Browne regarding the
political situation here the following has
beer received
Dear sir; In acknowledgement of your
letter of the 26th instant, and recurring |
moreover to our interview of a month ago
| am constrained to say that the outlool;
for wise and equitable adjustment Of the |
division in our party IN Delaware Is noG
promising. becauSe of the failure OF th3
patriotic efforts made to secure single
electoral ticket, for which everybody
could vote who is favorable to the election
Of Mckinley and Hobart.
While | fully appreciate tho efforts OF
our friends | hesitate to offer advice or
even to make suggestions, and prefer to
leave the final determination of the mat
ter to the Republicans Of Delaware, trrl|-
ing hat the good Judgment ana uhu1ug-
ell devotion to the best interests or ire |
whole party, which have hitherto charAs
terihed their conduct will in the end find
some solution and save the eiecloral Vote
for Mckinley and Hobart. such an out
come of the difficulties in Delaware, am
sure, would command the confidence and
both present and future OF
the Republican party everywhere. Very
NJ. a. HANNA, Chairman.
