Union Republican Tactics to

THEY HAVE NO PARTY
And to get National Recognition seek
Common Primaries with
Republicans.

that he "Union Republican party
stands as the embodiment of honesty In
politics in the Nation, the State, the
county and the Representative Dis
tricts."
It is the Grst time we have heard OF
it as national organization, and as for
the ''embo liment of honesty" there is
not school boy in the State but who
knows that the Addicks party had its
inception in the desire to elect par
ticular man senator, aud that his
money has been and is the only excuse
for its existence.
The Republicans of Delaware have
mapped out their course, whether it is
wise, time only will tell; but 1t is hor-
est and decent. It does not make it's
adherents ashamed to be seen at church
or to look their wives in the face. They
will adhere to this consistent course to
the end. The Addicksites may below
and storm; they may assume virtue
though they have it not; but it will not
change Republican action. When the
Democrats pra Sc us, we shall be pleas
cd and shall accept the compliment
gracefully, not churlishly, but this,
nevertheless, will not alter the couriJe
the Repub licans have marked out for
themselves.

Last week we had short account OF
George Travers being shot and coming to
Seaford for medical attention. Since the
shooting numerous hare been the accounts
of the origin of the trouble, and the circum.
stances attending it, but so far as we have
been able to learn, the facts are as follows:
Sometime last spring Travers took Mrs.
George Rash, a resident of visnna, Nd,
and Eer children from the home Of her sis.
ter, Mrs. Lankford near Eldorado, and they
went to Media, Pa, whittier Mr.. Geo. Rash
pursued them. TrsYers was lodged In Jail
on the charge of criminal intimacy with
Mrs. Rash, and where he recently finished
serving his nine-months term.
After leaving Media, Trayers entered the
employ of the Diamond State Telephone
Company. While employed at Georgetown
he wrote to Mrs. Rash, inquiring about old
friends and neighbors in her section. A
brief correspondence followed, an appoints
ment was made between the two and on
Thursday Travers drove to Eldorado to
keep the appointment While standing be-
hind his buggy he was fired upon by one or
two men, the shot taking effect in his body.
He climbed in his buggy, drove around q
thicket near by and made his way to road
leading to Wesley church where q meeting
was being held. He asked to be helped to
reach physiciaH, he was advised to go to
Eldorado, but refused from fear of another
attack and made his way alone here as no
one would assist him. He went to the
home of Walter Lindsey where he has been
since under the medical care of Drs. Johns
and Carter.
Rash denies being in the neighborhood
where the shooting occurred and says he
can prove an alibf Travers seems to be
gradually improving and hopes are now
entertained for his recovery.-SeafordNe News
