A few days ago a friend placed In ouI
hands copy Of an grafton Of Hon John
W. Houston. delivered at Milford, July
A, 1850. It Is very evident from It's
beautiful exordium tia the speaker
was profoundly penetrated with the

the United States was, in the fullness
Of Gods own time and providence set
tied and established as the home Of His
chosen people Milford Herald.
And now the Republicans of Delaware

The parties who propose TO divide the
Republican party because they failed to
control the convention at Dover, should
pause and consider what the result may
be. By widening the split, It is certain
that they contribute to Democratic sue
cess In November. Sound policy de-
mands union and harmony. We have
never known an Independent movem snt
to result In any great good In almost
every Instance independent movements
result in destroying the influence OF
those leading them The Republican
party Is not large enough to divide, and
those who think OF such division make a
sad mistake.-DSily Republican.
We have two State Central committees

OF course the Addicks party expects
to win by the use Of money In the com
ing campaign. They virtually said so
last Tuesday at their State Convention,
where they voted down the clause In the
minority report on platform. which
condemned the use OF money for corrup-
tion purposes. This Is their only hope
and they know It, and every Addicks
man, without exception, voted to table
the amendment indefinitely. Addicks
intends to buy up the State at any cost

Henry A. Dupont shsll not occupy q seat
