The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-09-20
No Compromise in Sight.

The rank and file of the Republican
party are longing for the Conference Com.
mitee which has been named, to Tx up the
difficulties and contentious in the ranks of
the Republican party. The fight has con.
tinued entirely too long to suit tho voters
and they are demanding that something
definite be done hat will cement tho party
together and perch victory on their banners
The dog in the manger style Of warfare
that has been kept up has added nothing
to the success oflthe party in Delaware and
has placed every local Office IN the hands OF
the Democrats.
This may be politics but the average
voter does not look upon 1T in that light
but demands settlement of some kind in
the near future. Tho conference commit.
tee accomplished about what was expected
of them, nothing more or less. They agreed
to disagree and held their conference with
that end in view. Old sores were raked
over and more fuel added to the flickering
flame There Is only one way Of compro-
missing and that is to como to the conclu-
sion that eighteen men do not constitute
tho whole Republican party in Delaware:
The give and take policy should and will
have to be adopted to settle all past differ
ences. This and nothing moro will fully
satisfy the Republican voters.
The holding of Convention had
nothing to do with the subject before the
Conference Committee. The sparring for
wind and time was only waste of time
and had no right to come before the meet
ing. We should lketo see the Republican
voters have their say In rolaUion to the COM
promise and what they want. They are
the party and not the handful of men
who have set themselves up as the mon
who control the dcstinies o. the Repubii-
can party in Delaware. P!aln.words should
be spoken SO that all men could read and
understand as they run.
The llling Of tho office OF U. s. Marshal
Is paramount to evoly other consideration
at the present time and should tnke prece.
dence in tho controversy. A compromise is
asked and the requosts of President NC
Knley should be needed without delay.
Will tho Conference Committee have sense
enough to heed itp
Every delegates mouth thus far has
been closed as If with paddock, and moth.
ing can be gotten that tie public have any
right to know what took place at the
Conference only that no compromise is
yet in sight.
Oh, Lord, how much longer arc these
mon going to be allowed to lead us around
in the desert A Moses should be found
that will lead theRepubiican voters to the
promised land of victory.
