Hurrah for HARMONY

After getting the discordant elements OF
the Republican party together, yesterday
afternoon, Mr.. VIM. s. Hilles left for a trip
to Boston, where no will no doubs enjoy
his rest after helping to straighten out the
snarl. There will be but ono Republican
primary election held In New Castle coun-
~, which will take place on Tuesday,
September 27th, ct which time the candi.
dates will be nominated. The delegates
snet In the Office of William s. Hilles,
Esq., and all the delegates appointed from
The Union and Regular Republican Com
anittees were present. The harmony reso.
buttons were adopted as soon as they were
road. The resolutions were said to have
cmanated from the Union Republicans
snd fully met the views of the Regulars.
Thus, after many months of contention
and calling hard names, the two commit
tees representing the two wings Of the
Republican party, have come to the con-
sluslon that In Union there Is strength.
They could see tho handwriting on the
wall and came to their senses in time to
place winning ticket In the field this fall
We sincerely hope that this is the begin
Aln~ nf hnt hall tn ha L..
sweeping Republican victory in the State,
from Wilmington to Lewes. Men who
had become lukewarln and said they would
not take the trouble to got registered, have
already evinced determination to put
themselves on safe basis, SO that they
can vote at the nomination election as
we'll as the general election. The coming
together OF the two factions, will do more
to put life In the party than all the block.
Ing and pay ing for tax receipts could have
accomplished in the next ten years. With
proper effort, there is no reason why the
Republicans should not elect every man
nominated on their ticket. The old
msthods resorted to in the primary elec-
tons will have been done away with, and
thus fair and honest election will be
made possibility, and there will be no
charges brought afterwards Of certain men
being counted in and others counted out.
There will be no reason. that we caa see,
why every candidate NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ID should not receive the vote of every
Republican. There are no Regular or I'm.
ION Republicans, but one Republican par
~ in New Castle county.
! We cannot see any reason why the Reg
ular and Union Republicans cannot hold
their conventions on the same day at the
same place and thus settle all differences
IN their conventions and have only one set
Of State Control Committee officers The
only way to make complete union of the
PARTY Is to settle on one State Central
Committee and thus have one ticket in the
Geld In Kent and Sussex counties The
New Castle county Republicans have al
ways shown disposition to come together
and now is the opportunity of life time.
The sensible course adopted by the R,gu.
lar and Union Republicans Of New Castle
county has shown the voters that they are
sincere in their desire for unity. Let tho
other two counties follow SUIT. and If there
10 to be contention, let it be after the cleo
tion. But we don't SEQ any use of tearing
the party asunIer 50 that no victories can
be gained at the polls on election day. 1t
IL only by a united vote that Senator Geo.
Gray can be defeated from succeeding htnl-
