Ct peace and what will the harvest be p
is the question that is now agitating the
rank and file of the Union. and Regular
Republicans.
The reason for this query is the fact
that meeting of the Sussex county
unionists and Regulars will be held at
Georgetown today for the purpose OF
jointly agreeing upon the appointment
OF registration and election officers.
AT this meeting of the county COM
milteemen OF Sussex county will be
Hugh c. Brown, Esq, state chairman OF
the Regular Republican Committee and
j. Frank Alice. state chairman OF the
Union Republican Committee.
When the hand of peace was extended,
or by which faction, is a mooted question
and one which the Regulars and
Unionists are in vain endeavoring to
solve.
1t is claimed that the meeting of to-
day may not be wholly one of brotherly
love, as some persons imagine, but that
the old wound may be reopened by some
indiscreet remark and the two factions
again wage war to the bitter end.
Ii the gathering cf the clans, however,
result in no disagreement, then similar
source OF procedure will be adopted in
Kent and New Castle counties, the latter
meeting to be held here on Wednesday.
Providing the meeting proves har-
monious in Sussex county, plans will
also be formulated for conducting the
coming fall campaign.
Rnt tl,, tho all
poltant question as to who first extended
the hand of good fellowship. The ma.
jority Of the Unionists claim the Regu-
lars, whilst the latter think altogether
different, and there you are.
1t is a well known fact that Governor
Ebe w. Tunnel has the appointment OF
the registration and election officers out
side OF this city, but it is thought that
he of course Will make the appointments
suggested by the Democratic and r RNpub-
iican pal,ies.
Now, where dces the "Git-Together,"
alias the "G.t-Out," alias the Lincoln
Club come forward in this deal, is a
question that is troubling the minds of
The 'lrolley dodgers of that alleged
political organization.
The supposition is that that club of
disruption is tot left out entirely in the
cold by both the Regulars and Unien;sts,
and it this is the case broad smile OF
content will overspread the urbane
countenances of more than one of the
small would-be political wirc-pullers,
who ever since they t,longed to the dis
organized element have en- compelled
to take back seat by the "big-hesded"
leaders of the Cit Out" Club.
Fred Eden Bach, who would like to be
chai. man OF either of the Republican
State committees, Mayor Henry c. Nc
Lear, Medford Fl. Cahoon, Esq, Dr.
Evan Ii. Shortlidge, and others, have
heretofore had tinger in all Republican
gatherings, but this time they are marked
as non est.
How Freddie & Co. like it is not
known, but it is thought that their beds
OF the past few days is not one of ''roses'
and that their usually downy pillows
have been of 'thorns,' since the news
was first broken to them that the two
factions were about to bury the Ratchet,
go their way together and sin no more
politically.
This is balm to the cruel wounds that
Freddie 4 Co., have frequently admin
istered to the small 'trolley dodgers" of
the "Git-together'' club, and they are
satisfied that the same justice nleted out
to them will also fall 10 the lot of Freddie
d Co., and that despite the fearful p'o-
tests of the latter they will have to cance
to the same music, not "Where is my
Wandering Boy Tonight, "but hat touch
ing ballad of Thrown on the Cold,
Cold World" played to The tune OF
Johnnie Git Your Cum"
Yesterday morning the Department OF
Elections received certified copies of the
