COL. DUPONT DESERVES THE
Honor Of Naming J. Henry
HOffeCker. The Demo-
Gratis Say They Can
Carry Three Out of
FIVE LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS

1
Hoffocker's name for Congress Is Colonel
Henry A. DUPONT The feeling at one
time among the members of the conv1n-
tion was strong for Willis. but the part
Mr. Willis took AT Washin : ton when Col.
onel DUPONT was pushing his claim for
Senator from Delaware, was remembered
by the Colonel and his friends, and they
concluded for that reason that his seec-
ton would not be tho best thing for the
Republican party. That ,he Republicans
who voted against him for Congressman
two years ago. would not have become re-
conciled enough to vote for him this fall.
William Michael Byrne was to have vot.
cd for Jonathan S. Willis. He was instru-
mental in bringing the Addicks people to
our city, twodays before tho convention
was held In Dover but at the last minute
he was quietly oallod off and struck his
colors. He then began to boom Mr.. Hotf-
ecker for Congress. This is the reason why
Fred Eden Bach became mad and jump
ed all over the Hofftcker men In the con-
venlion ard said from this bunch Of dais-
les be had given the names Of Willis, Hill
lis and Dryne.
The fight Is over now and tho one es-
sential thing is to rally around the ticket
and pitch in and make it winning one.
1t does not make much difference who
does this or that, so the success Of the Re.
publioanjparty is accomplished.
The Union Republican Convention
will meet in Dover to-day, and radify
the nominations made on Thursday last.
The Republican State papers favor the
endorsing Of the ticket already nominat-
ed.
The Dover Sentinel owned by J. Ed
ward Addicks, says 1--WE do know this
however, that every voter in tho ranks OF
the Union Republican party Is inspired
with one desire absolute harmony, and
victory at the polls In November, These
two words are interchangeable; harmony
means victory; victory means harmony;
and the rank and file of tho pnrty may
rest assured that the Convention will meet
its responsibilities like men. looking only
to the good Of the whole party"
The above echoes the sentiment Of every
earnest and true Republican in Delaware.
The Middletown Transcript says:
I'VE are Republicans. Let us have
peace. Let us have victory"
The Milford News and Advertiser says.
"The ticket named will meet with the
approval of nearly all we'll disposed Re-
publicans."
The Demo cratic County Committee on
Saturday announced its list Of primary
election officers. They will hold their
election on September 10th.
To show the manner in which theRepub.
licans have been treated In Delaware we
need only to call your attention to tho
TACT that more than two-thirds of the eec- |
lion officers appointed to hold the election
IN November are Democrats. The fair and |
honest way would have been to appoint
half Of ono party and half of the other
Tho election officers this year will hold the
election only, and not do tho counting as
hey have in years past been in the habit
If doing. The votes cast only will be count
ID, the number to tally with the names. OF
,he voters entered on tho books.
There is one thing certain and that Is
hat it costs the city too much money to
lold tho elections The difference in the
,ost to-day and ten years ago is something
Ippalling and should set tax payers to
linking. During tho last week the Dem.
cratic Committee of this city has been
.oing over the registration and Chairman
ieary appears satisfied that the Democrats
will control three out of the five Legisia-
i've districts in this city. An effort is be.
ng made 10 get every Democrat to regis
er ana meetings have been held in every
yard in the city with this one purpose in
low.
All Of the eloqucnco of the young Demo-
ratio Attorneys were used without much
ood being accomplished. The average
Democrat voter Is luke warm and does
OF tako any Interest in tho coming elec-
on. You might think tho party had
dopted civil service rules in dispensing
40 city and state patronage. Ono thing
,mans and that is to be silro to go and
OF registered next month as evury Re-
ubluan vote will be needed. - -. - -
