| Union Republican Position.
The Union Republicans define their
position as a sacrifice of self-interest for
the good of the Republican party and
the defeat of the Democrats. County
Chairman S. Frank Ewart said yester-
day in an interview:
| The Union Republican party is proud
of its record as an untiring foe of the
Democratic party. and i'll this campaign
of 1900. when the country is menaced
and the Republican party of Delaware
in greater danger than ever before in its
| MI nF
State desire to prove their allegiance to
the National Republican party and also
to secure Republican supremacy in the
/ State. Therefore laying aside rights and
considerations to which we feel we are
entitled and preferring the result to the
method. we to-day. by making sacri-
fee, which only the genral welfare of the
| Republican party can demand. take the
initiative and so far as lies in our power
to close the gap that disunites and
weakens the Republican party in our
State. and which if not done. would re-
suit in certain Democratic victories. 1t is
our aim and desire that the Republicans
of Delaware in this eventful year of 1900
shall present an unbroken front to our old
enemy. and with glorious victory in
our State and country begin brightly and
brilliantly the first pages of our poll
tical history in the new century. For
this reason, wherever it is right for the
| Union Republicans to strengthen the Re
publican forces it will he done. We cam
not permit fractional lines and interests to
he stronger than our desire TO defeat the
Democrats.
