The time has fully come when the Re-
publican party Of this state must have
''union and harmony" There exists nc
cause OF quarrel or contention In oui
ranks; and that man Is an enemy TO the
party and to the highest and best inter
ests of our state, who will promote OF
foster any jealousles, hesrtbnrnings, or
other causes OF inharmony anywhere In

all rings should bs put down, and woe be
to the man or set OF men who set them
selves up as a ring to rule and use the

IL Is estimated that there are some IF
teen thousand bicycles In Wilmington.

posed OF their horses and carriages and

When the Republican orators feel
tempted to spread themselves upon their

1t is intimated that money will be used

Republicans, who have the future inter-

politics will destroy the harmony In any
party Sussex Republican.
Il seems as though all hope Of non
partisan convention is lost through fell
ure OF the Republicans to unite in such
proposition. Their tickets will, as q

and honest men Of all other parties -

Neither Ia history nor story, eli her
ancient or modern, have we read OF any
thing so impudent and shameless as Mr.
Addick's proposal to buy the Republican
party OF the State OF Delaware. There
are and have been retailers and jobbers
In the purchase and sale OF political pre-.

frankly offered to purchase a whole state,
or the whole party In one commonwealth.
Such q proposition remained for the
genius Of John Edward Addlcks.-Mll
