houses, one built upon the shifting
sand, and the other digged deep down
in the earth and found the rock and
built up his foundation therefrom.
A situation confronts the Republi-
can party of the s. ate of Delaware and
of this county to day that will try the
very essence of its strength. If it come
out untarnished, it is worthy of the
confidence of all men, if tarnished and
SCARED with regrets and sullied with
shame, it deserves the condemnation
of them all. On this day week, MAY g.
elections will be held at which the Re-
publicans will elect delegates from
each hundred to State Convention,
which convention will select, six dele
gates to attend the National Conven-
tion, at st. Louis. and who will help
nominate the next Republican candi-
date for President and President.
The day on which the last Legisla-
ture Of this State adjourned, a promi-
nent Republican of this county, who
has been tried in many political battles
Of the past, over whose head have past
three score years nearly, all of which
have been spent in the service of his
party, man not identified with any
faction then or now, but whose one
continuous desire has been the success
of the Republican party, said to Mr..
Addicks.

agrees with the Democratic contention

vote OF this county. Now he comes be-
ore the people thereof and demands
heir support upon the same ground

hat continued support during the last
ession of the Legislature. A great
many Republicans who are honest in
heir convictions deprecate such action

United party?
