The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-05-27

lHE BAIL Ot IhE OlANIS.
The chairmen of the two political
parties have spoken. Mr.. Robert Francis
, thinks that the Democrats will make a
, tho city election on June 9th. That it is
going to be dead easy thing to elect a
Democratic Council and every other city
official. He means to show Pat Neary
that he knows something of practical
politics and that when the Democratic
party selected him as chairman they
made no mistake
He has "a trick or two up his sleeve which
he will shove down between now and cleo
tion day. Keep your eye on Robert and
you will surely hear something drop on
June 5. On tho other hand Horace G.
Knowles says that the Republicans will
win sure this time. They have the votes
and all it Is required Is to SEQ that they are
gotten in on election day and then count.
cd for the men for whom they were voted.
He cautions un over confidence on the
part of the Republican voters and says
that the party Is united and no dssensions
init.
The two chairmen have now spoken and
1t remains 10 be seen who will be the big
gest man after Juno 5th. These men are
both young in years, but are said to be
Shrewed politicians and great organizers.
by their works shall ye know them.
There has been no slate fixed up by the
Republicans. as it Is desired that City
Council shall first be secured by them be-
lore any slatos are agreed upon.
NO DISSATISFACTION
There has been considerable said BY
numerous parties that there were dis
sentions in the Eighth and Ninth wards
over the nomination Of Councilman. Such
rumors are silly. Tho Republicans votes
are unit on tho ticket nominated and it
Will receive the hearty support of every
voter in the party.
The Democrats have troubles onouah of
their own to attend to and 1t will become
the Democratic-Republic paper to try
to stir up strife and disGord in tho ranks
of the Republican party.
WHAT NONSENSE.
The silly story that has been set afloat
by the campaign liars that tho reason why
Doctor J. Q. Fahey was nominated was
because Mr.. Peter j. Ford wanted to show
the members of his religious fuith that one
of them could be elected to the Office
Of Mayor in our city Such things are
disgusting an insult to all intelligent and
well thinking men. A mans religion
should not be a recommendation or dis.
qualification for any Office, SO the man
Is competent. honest and an upright mem.
Der of society. Away with such nonsense.
