Harmony, the dove Of peace Is still
lowering over the politics of our state in
the Republican ranks. Every plan that
has been suggested or put forward up to
this time has failed to bring forth any
coed results
The appointing of Mr.. Wells from Elk
Ton, Nd, to tho position, as stamp clerk
in the Internal Revenue Office in our city,
has not helped to strengthen the Republic
can party in Delaware.
Its right down shame that Delaware
man could not have been found to I'LL the
office. But this Ia not tho first time the
Republican party has seen fiji to go outside
of the State and fill this office Tho Demo.
erals when they came into control of the
government have always filed the offices
with Delawarcans. That's tho difference
between tho actions OF the men In nn'
th"rity In the Two parties.
The Civil Service la q right good thing
so sumo men claim. But right hero
want to ask, if the same men who are now
holding federal Offices did not take some
other mans job Then II the Civil Service
il to stand why not include tho President
of the Uni,ed States. Its Just as right and
proper. The party that lives up to 1t, will
be buried out of sight at the coming cleo
ton. We don't believe in the spells system
but we believe in rewarding men of tho
party in power. 1t is only by this means
t lat any party can continue in power 1ur
any length OF time If the party don't
believe In rewarding the leaders what's
the use Of voting to turn the opposition
out.
The present plan did not meet with favor
from tho former Democratic administers
ton excepting Grover Cleveland, and our
readers know with what reverence he Is
held to. day by the Democratic party, nit.
The New Castle County Republicans
willnover submit to compromise based
in the proportionment of delegates sub
mitted by the Union to the Regular Ito
publcaus at the two conferences held by
the committees which met at Dover. AS
far as the Federal appointments go, what
difference is it? But tho future success OF
the Republicans in Delaware Is of more
vital interest, than the filling of all the
Federal offices within tho gift Of the Prosi-
dent In our State.
The filling of the local Offices and the
placing Of Delaware III tho Republican
columns Is something worth burying all
past differences In the party and have an
organization that will work together
tremendously is tho greatest desire OF the
voters, The Democrats are going to have
troubles of their own mud now Is tho &C.
cepted time to quit tho chickering's and
calling sof each other Of hard names and
tho placing of n single Republican ticket
in tho field that will win at tho coming
election. United we will stand. divided
well tho past has bean useful lesson.
Tho manner in which, William II. Finn
now Sheriff of New Castle County, was
uuleremoniously thrown out OF his posi-
ton as Deputy Collector of port under
Collector Townsend and the ousting of
Ex-Marshal McMulen and Mnhatfy shows
what regard the Democratic party had for
the rights of Republican office holders in
our state under tic federal government.
But then the Democrats have one way OF
doing things and tho Republicans another
way. But then everything goes with our
Democratic brethren, in our state.
A friend Of DR.. Layton says he did not
mike TRADE against the Regulars, when
they met tho last time III Conference at
Dover.
Well, the two stories do not agree as the
Regulars are positive that his language
was not what one gentleman should use
toward another, who claim to be WORKING
for tho success Of the party,
This Marshal should DO appointed at
once and If possible II Delaware man and
one from New Castle county should 20
never have allowed Republican to serve
one day over his term if they had boon IN
power They don't believe in that kind OF
politics. They fight. but al ways come to.
gether and vote the same old way on eiec'
ton day
The man who is afraid to speak his mind
because 1t might hurt his chances is cow
ard and not lit to be calleda man. A cow
ard Is not to be trusted you never known
where to find him when his help Is wanted
Beside such u man is only man in sem
bnnce md not f1t to associate with his fel-
lUwmen. This may sound harsh to sono
men, but its tho truth nevertheless.
