I n
Now that the Republicans Of Delaware
| have agreed upon three men for whom tht
| united party vote will goon November 3
| In order that they may cast the vote OF
| Delaware for Mckinley for President
| They say hero that the reason Senator
Gray Isl straddle bug is because 1t Is
Handy to be so.
The Republicans of New Castle hun
dred will during the coming week make
compromise upon the hundred officers.
The Opera House has been engaged for q
grand rally to be held on next Wednesday
| evening when the meeting will be adj
dressed by Hoffccker and Willis. There is
not man In tho State who would allow
another man 10 swallow dose OF iauua'
nun in his presence And yet we the
leaders of the Republican party giving
flask after flask of deadly dissension which
is just as deadly as carbolic acid.
1t is the duty of every Republican this
time in Delaware to dash the vnl away
from his neighbours mouth. 1t Is political
suicide for the party to attempt to defeat
tho Democrats this fall with two tickets
in the field. Let the watchword be unity
and the hour of compromise bo the pres
ent. Ii Is better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all.
