puDilCan party is COuCeTHeu, VIII pe Vho
reception to be rendered to the nominees
of the G. 0. P at the headquarters of the
Lincoln Republican Club tomorrow
evening.
The three prominent members OF this
club are Fred Eden Bach, Anthony Hig-
gins and Mayor Henry G. McLear, all
of whom are better known as "disrup-
tionists."
Ever since the nomination of Hon.
John H. Hoffecker for Congress, where
these three gentlemen met their "water-
loo," they have attempted to corrupt the
party, and in more than one instance did
such despicable work that State Chair
man Hugh G. Browne, Of the Regulars
formed it necessary to drop Bach from
his list Of acquaintance.
This appeared to have angered Bach,
and since the time he and his two friends
have done all in their power to defeat
the party in Delaware by sowing seeds
of dissension that at one time threatened
to down it to eternal darkness.
Their schemes in that direction, how
ever, failed, and, seeing that they were
going beyond the limit of forbearance,
they decided upon holding the "paci6-
cation" meeting tomorrow night.
The probabilities at this time are that
very little success will attend their ef-
forts, for the reason that all moves made
by these corruptionists is looked upon
with suspicion by the better element of
the party, who do not know whether
they are called there to be knitted or
not.
The supposition prevails that Bach,
Higgins and McLear still have the
"knife" up their sleeves, and the indca-
tions are that very few will attend the
"peace offering" given by these leaders
~ who have shown their vindctive-
pess in manner that cannot be mis-.
taken.
The Democrats are not very well
pleased over the speeches that their
nominee for Congress, Hon. l.. Irving
Handy, has been delivering in number
Of places during the past, and,as result,
his ''crucifixion" on that "cross Of gold'
appears to be a foregone conclusion.
The claim is made that State Chairman
John Biggs and County Chairman Patrick
Neary are more than incensed at the
"free.silver' utterances of their candi-
date for Congressional honors, and the
breach that has been between them for
some time is gradually widening and
will certainly engulf him in its depths,
assisted by the too willing knives raised
aloft for his destruction.
The sound money adherents of Democ-
racy are also taking umbrage at the man.
ner in which Mr.. Handy is being sup
ported by John G. Gray, Of this city, and
ex-Copgressman Turner, of New York,
and Mr.. Gray, it is understood, will be
the first man called to account by the
chairman named.
