With many Of the leading Republi-
cans dissatisfied with their party's rec
ord on the trusts. the currency and
Philippines question, it would seem as
though the party had burden of dis
content which would bring 1t disaster
In next years campaign. Let Demo-
Gratis get together in every state, and
there will be a surprise in store for
everybody. q
Our congressman, Mr.. Hoffecker. is
not treated quite right by the president
So far he has been completely ig-
nored, and he has not been able to
make any appointments.
1t is likely Mr.. Hoffecker will not cut
much of a figure in Washington, Colo
mel DUPONT is a great deal larger, po-
litically speaking, than the senator OF
this state. Senator Hoffecker leans
very decidedly toward the Union Re
publicans, and 1t is very easy to see
why he has been ignored. We hope he
will be able to draw his salary, If he
is unable to do anything else.
SAYS THE DELAWARE PLAIN
DEALER.
1t is true there are those who claim
that a full recognition of a guberna-
tOrial appointment of United States
senators may lead to a coalition be-
tween the executive Of the state and a
strong minority at any time, and that
this coalition will always result in the
overthrow of the will of the people and
that the candidate of the majority
plainly the choice of a majority Of the
voters of a state will be defeated.
This is one side of the question, but
there is another side. side that has
considerable commonsense in its favor
and considerable accuracy in the light
of recent events. Coalitions between
state executives and strong minori-
ties" are all well enough to talk about
but here in Delaware we know that the
vacancy was brought about by des.
perate fight between factions of party
holding for the time being control o.
the legislative body. There can be NJ
suspicion Of coalition here.
The result, Of course. throws The
power of appointment in the hands o
a Democratic governor-and here
rests. He will name the man to fl
that vacancy as sure as the sun rise
and sets. and that man will be seate,
by this United States Senate.
SAYS THE SUN.
Every Evening need not worry abou
what Mr.. Addicks has concluded to d.
in the matter of his senatorial canvass
He is in the fight to beat the Demo
cratic party in Delaware, and to Civ
the state a good Republican govern
ment and, barring accidents, is likel
to stay in the fight until that is accom-
plished. He regards that as being G
the first importance-to beat the Demo
grassland will let the senatorial mat
ter take care of itself.
The Republicans of this state shoul
not forget that success in the next stat
campaign depends upon the uniting {
all the elements of the Republican voti
in our delegate election. and in tn
first state convention to be held pric
to the election. It will be remembers
that the bolt occurred at the state cor
vention Of May, 1S96-the conventio
which elected delegates to the St. Lou
National Convention. It is just, res
sOnable and right that the broken ranl

can be done if the boilers will agree I
it. The Union Republicans are read
to submit this Question-of unity
vote Of the Republicans of the sta
and to abide by the issue of the votir
The Union Republicans want a unite
party, and one Republican ticket (,
the next campaign, and only stipula'
