The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-07-10

We still hope that gentlemen belonging
to the different factions Of the Republi-
can party will consent to some piau Of
compromise by which opportunity will be
afforded to elect Republican electors, IL
Republican candidate for Congress, Hvv.
ernor, and members of the Legislature
and also the different county Off ,!Als.
There Inay be no hope of accomplishing
this end, but we shall continue to hope
against hope until we reach the day Of
election, If our advice will continue un.
needed until that time Tho refusal to
compromise is so preposterous that we
cannot believe that any true Republican
will oppose it, No sacrifice can be too
great to rescue our State from Democratic
domination, and put it in the Republican
column.
1t is said that Addicks is willing to sub.
nit to any terms, short Of his withdrawal
of his candidacy for seat in the Senate,
and at the same time contribute to the Or
ganization of the party and support the tic

Republicans to leave the struggle Tor the
Senatorship to be settled after the election
and if there should be IL fallute to elect
Senator, the party would be better I'll
than to have salisbury or Wolcott in that
body.
Men may punish Addcks by refusing to
compromise, but they will punish kcpub-
licans much more, and it will be IoUnd
that Addicks can stand 1t quite as well, if
not better, than the great mass OF tho
party. We therefore urge this cUlprO.
mise, and exhort ali who oppose it TO not
destroy the party and their friends merely
to show their scorn Of Addcks Tor the
course he has pursued Admitting that
he has done wrong, that Is no reason that
any set OF men should do greater wrong
compared with which his acts sink lutO

He cheated the party out OF a Senator
it Is true, but that Is IA small matter in
deed, compared to cheating the Repubii

stroy Addicks, but for heavens sake do
not destroy the party in doing So. The
actors in the scheme will wreck Their omn

from the political arena, and allow tho
people to III their places with others less
