tees which have met twice az Dover and
failed to come to any conclusion. The
Union Republicans of Kent and Sussex
Counties apparently care very little for
the Republican voters Of New Castle
County. The outrageous proposition made
by the Union to tho Regular Republicans
on tho apportionment plan shows in
what love they bold the Now. Castle
County voters. The plan proposed was so
unfair and unjust ON It's face that the Reg
ulars had no other alternative than to re-
ject it,
The very thing the people of New Cas-
tie County have been fighting for years
representation according to population
was to be ignored and the minority were
to be given power which IN all fairness to
the twelve thousand voters OF New Castle
county should never have been submitted.
The voters Of New Castle county would

and are determined to rule or ruin, The
sooner those men find this out tho better
it will be fer the future success Of Repub-
licansm In Delaware. These are plain
and unvarniahed facts and the time has
gone by for mincng matters. Twelve
thousand voters should have some say as
to what policy should be followed at these
conferences which have been farcical and
brought forth no good results
1t Is time tho chickering's and contentious
ceased and tho white dove of peace hover
Tho party papers down the State should
learn that by calling men harsh names
never yet settled dispute or controversy.

Money is not everything In this world,
although one Of its powerful levers for
doing evil, as well as good. Tho con.
