The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-10-14

II the Republicans Of this State wish to
defeat tho Democrats at the next election,
they must unite aud select candidates that
every member of the party will vote for.
II the leaders OF the different factions
cannot make up their minds to such union
II Is folly to attempt to organize tho party
or to cxpend one cent for holding meet
ings, or for the distribution Of campaign
documents. We hope some concessions
will be made by every one who values tine
carrying into effect of Republican princi.
pies and measures Us more imL orthnt than
The possession OF office or the honor OF
leadership. The motto should now be, as
In former years, measures not men-the
goud of the country in preference to tho
elevation OF any particular individual
When individuals value their own stand
Ing more than they do the success of their
party, we may well question their loyalty
and be prepared for defeat. Tho lesson
impaired last year should serve for all com.
Ing time The dog in the manager p o'icy
should be abandoned and grievances,
no more than an ovcrweening ambition,
should not DO al lowed to control political
actions. Jussica and fair dealing should
BE- the aim of all, no one should ask more
than what is right, and no one should bo
required to submit 20 that which is wrong.
Its not precedence that should BIO aimed

carrying into effect principles and meas

THE Bay State Gas CumpHuy's suits in

more or less excitement and wraugling
among the legal fraternity who have been
enabled to get II slice out of the loaf rs it

made by some Of tho bondholders to get IN

has bccn increased from few thousand
dollars until now fifty millions Of 1t have

their fees. witness fees, court charges and
dozen and one other expenses, attending
trials before the courts of justice. If tho

clusion that as both parties to tho suit had
