laration:
The Union Republican party in Kent
and Sussex counties stands for better
and purer government. and seeks not
the flesh-pots of Federal patronage as
a reward or the price OF fealty. The
Union Republican party cannot be pur-
chased, and IL asks neither favors nor
reward-willing only to stand for the
best interests OF the people and for fair
and honest government
This paragraph is a falsehood from
beginning to end, and an insult to the
intelligence of the reading public. In
the history of the United States no po-
litical organization has done so much
harm to good and pure government as
the Union Republican party in the few
years that it has been operating in the
State Of Delaware. 1t has debauched
our electorate, debased our elections,
dehed our laws, DETAINED the good
name Of our state. and contaminated
whatever It has touched. It's leaders
have boasted Of the many thousands Of
dollars spent in trafficking in the cleo
tive franchises OF weak and venal men.
There is no crime on the political call
endar, for the commission OF which op-
portunlty afforded, with which this
same Union Republican party does not
stand arraigned at the bar Of public
opinion. God save the state IL it is to
depend upon the Union Republican
party to bring 1t better and purer gov
ernment. The penitent sinner might
as well look to Satan for spiritual com
fort and ultimate salvation.
And so the Union Republican party
does not seek the fesh-pots of Ameri-
can patronage as a reward, or the price
Of fealty.
How many efforts have the Union
Republican leaders made to secure rec
ogination from the national organiza-
ton?
How often has Congressman John
H. Hoflecker been to Washington to
see President Mckinley and other high
officials in an endeavor to break down
the patronage dispensing powers of
Colonel Henry A. DuPont2
How many efforts have been made
by the Union Republican State Com
mittee to accomplish the same RESULT
How often has j. Edward Addicks
sent kilograms Of threatening charac-
ter to President Mckinley and others
in authority because they persisted in
recognizing the recommendations
made by Colonel Dupont?
II the fesh-pots have no charm for
Union Republicans. why do we find
Walter II. Hayes a disappointed asplr-
ant for the Office Of United States dis
trict attorney?
Why is it that John satterheld oc-

Why are there so many crestfallen

selves specially fitted to fll certain
Federal offices which they could not
get because Of their party affiliationg
The state is full Of them. Every
hundred has its Union Republicans
who are bowed down because Colone
DUPONT and not Congressman Hof
fecker had the giving out OF the Of
nces. Even now the Union Repubn
cans threaten to throw the three cleo
toral votes to the Democrats If Presi
