oniire city government TO the Demo-
In view Of tho facts above stated We
are forced Of necessity to doubt yonr
lgool faith and sincerity, and 10 .Ques.
lticn your motivee When you issue .
manifesto and call IL a plan for unity |
land harmony, we are forced tcr con-
clude that this alleged plan. like all
your previous propositions. Is nothing
/ but another we'll deVieed scheme to
benefit Mr.. Addicks-
Referring to your proposition, we
have serious objection to eletting dele
gates 10 a convention by representa-
tive districts, for tho republican party
has never officially ratified the gerry
mander o. this state into representa-
ltive diatrcts fixed byta democratic
Constitutional Convention. and we
lcanpotnow adopt It for party purposes
unSi} authorized so TO do by our DON
stiInents. @.',.
THO 7same objection , applies to tho
naming OF n state committee by sena-
toEial districts.
Referring to that part of your propo-
sitiOn which deals with the election OF
Ia United States senator, It's obvious in
ltentHnd meaning Is to practically COM
nit all Delaware republicans to the
choice az Mr.. Addicks as one OF the
senators to be elected by the next Leg
slature. We decline 10 be 20 com
mitted in favor OF anybody, and most
absolutely and emphatloally decline to
be committed In favor OF the very in
dividual. who has twice In the further
ance OF his selfish. desires deprived the
state OF republican United States
senator, each time be 1t remembered.

Such q course would not only be OPP
