THE younger elemsnt In the Union Re-
! publican party which met Of Dover today
was kept In tie background, In fact the

ways to the front in the Republican con.
ventions, were on hand today. They were
Dr. Caleb R. Layton, who has always been
for harmony, but who insisted that he was
always right and his opponents always
wrong; then Jonathan 8. Willis, who is
known as the preacher politician, who has
the gift Of CAB. bus who has been really
in earnest In making peace between the
two factions, but By one Of those breaks,
when he should have known better, his
chances for Congress were blasted forever
DR.. George W. Marshall. who has had the
official bae buzzing In his bonnet for years
was on hand with his silver voice and was
one of the conspicuous figures in the con-
vention. Then the irresistible little ].

Smithers, Walter H. Hayes, Robert Short
Frederic Walls, D. S. Clark, u. o. Moore,
G. r. Davis, Geo. H. Murray, Robert Peck,
Thomas G. Moore and Geo. B. Money.
Contrast these names with the younger
element who predomipated in the Regular
Convention. It is to be hoped, now that
the dove Of peace hovers over the Republic
can party, that 1t will redeem itself in the
majority Of the members Of the next
Legislature. When the fact Is known that
the Republicans have only succeeded twice
in II years in olecting Governor, it Is
time they wero bestirriDg themselves and
put the State where 1t should be-in the
Republican column.

Charles Goodyear, the discover of the
