LEST WE FORGET.
Morning News Committed to an Alliance With the
Democrats to Elect United States Senator.

eleven Republicans have already voted
three times for Mr.. Bird, and they
should do so again. Having done tbeil
duty faithfully thus far these eleven Re.
publicans must not hesitate if the tender
made by the Democrats is extended to.
day in joint assembly. 1t is the duty ol
these eleven men to accept the offer and
bring about the election of an unques.
toned Republican as the next United
States Senator from Delaware.
Eleven Republicans in the Montana
legislature did the same thing that the
Democrats in Delaware have now Of
fered to do. The Montana legislature
was Democratic, but lewiston in their
ranks made an election of senator i'm
possible. Then it was the Republicans,
knowing that the Democrats were en-
titled to the senator, sprang into the
breach and elected the best OF the Demo
cratic candidates. What the Montana
Republicans have done the Delaware
Democrats can do without sacrificing any
OF their party principles. They can not
elect man of their own party, and have
therefore, nothing to lose in that direc.
ton. 1t is, however just as much to
their interest as it is to the interests OF
the better thinking Republicans Of the
state, to defeat the selt-imposed candi-
date of the eighteen men who have re-
fused to consider the future welfare Of
their own party. The Democrats can
we'll afford to vote for Mr.. Bird at thi;
time, and thus ensure the state it's full
representation in the United States
Senate. The Regular Republicans can
not afford to reject the offer 1t would
be an excellent solution of the problem
and it would do much to eliminate from
future campaigns one of the most objec.
tionable features OF the past.
We, therefore, call upon the eleven
Regular Republicans, to accept the proffei
of the Democratic support today; to &C
cept it at once and vote for Mr.. Bird
They accepted the support OF the Demo
Gratis in organizing the House, yet by
doing So did not sacrifice any OF theil
party principles. If there is possibility
OF electing Senator for the next two
years any one who stands in the way
will have occasion to regret his action.

the eleven votes of the Regular Republi-
cans. MIR. Bird had previously declined
to stand as a candidate, but we are now
informed that under the new conditions
that have been created he is perfectly
willing to act for the good of the Repub-
lican party at this crisis in its history.
He has been lifelong Republican and
has never asked any honor at the hands
of his fellow Republicans. He has stood
firm and fast for the principles Of the
party, and he has given his time and his
energy in the effort to bring about Re-
publican success at all times. His Re.
publicanism has never been questioned
and he is now ready and willing to meet
any summons that may be made upon
him. The tender of thirteen Democratic
votes would mean total of twenty-four
votes for Mr.. Bird, with every probable
ity of at least two more Democrats join
ing. With full membership to-day it
would require twenty-six votes to elect,
and with showing of twenty.four there
would be no doubt of further gain of
the needed two.
1t must be borne in mind, above all
else, that the proposition which has
been made was not brought about
through any effort on the part OF Mr..
Bird. 1t came to him as a surprise and
without any action whatever upon his
part. He was persuaded to accept the
offer for the sole purpose of giving his
party any assistance that was in his
power in the present emergency.
The Regular Republicans are aware oi
this tender. 1t is their duty-to them.
selves, to their party, to their state and
to the nation-to accept the Democratic
offer and join solidly for the election oi
MIR. Bird. 1t is not time for halting
now. IL is not time for further split.
ting of hairs. 1t is time to act, and tc
act with vigor. If the Democratic mem
bers of the General Acknowledgements
ing as they do that the Republicans have
the right to elect and are entitled to g
United States Senator at this time-are
willing to lend their assistance to save
the good name Of the state, the Regular
Republicans should welcome their sup
port and vote with them for Mr.. Bird.
There is nothing else to be done. The

From Morning News, March 13, lS99.
A REPUBLICAN SENATOR CAN BE
ELECTED TODAY.
The time for the adjournment of the
Delaware General Assembly is fixed for
this afternoon. Thus far the twenty
nine Republican members OF that body
have failed to elect a United States Sena-
tor, one of the most important duties
they were chosen to perform. This
failure to elect has been because eighteen
men-at the start only fifteen-have de-
clared that only one man in the state is
entitled to the honor of an election at the
hands of the Republicans. And this,
too, in the face of the fact that fifteen
other men have been suggested for the
position bv the eleven Republicans who
believe in electing a representative Re
publican to the Senate, and who do not
believe in coniering any honor upon the
man who created vacancy in the
United States Senate, with Senator Ken
ney as result.
The issue will be closed today by the
adjournment of the General Assembly.
Every Republican in the state knows in
his heart what the result OF failure to
elect would mean. He knows that at the
next Reu6I dl GlGCllOu, w DS htAN ~ +NON
ember, 1900 the prospects oi Repu ican
success would be reduced to nothing.
The same result would follow the elec-
tion oil seIf-imposed dictator OF the Re-
publican party in the State. Ihe Regl-
lar Republicans have stood mantully
from the beginning in support OF one OF
the highest principles of their party.
That they will continue so to stand we
believe.
1t came to us yesterday, from an un
impeachable source, that an opportunity
would be given the Regular Republicans
today to elect Republican to the United
States Senate. The offer has been made
and in good faith, upon the part OF thu
Democratic members of the General AS
sembly to Join with the Regular Repub
licans to elect United States Senator
today. Thirteen Democrats have agreed
to the proposition to act with the Regu
lar Republicans at the proper time. :.
The candidate chosen is MIR. Levi @

Washington, May 30-Senator Hanna
denies the report that he has determined
not to be the chairman of the new ma.
tional Republican committee. A story to
this effect was sent out from Washington
last night. in which it was stated that i'll
health and business duties were respon-
sible for the Senator's determination to
retire. notwithstanding the fact that
President Mckinley earnestly desired
him to continue at the head Of the com
mittee. When this story was called to
Senator Hanna's attention today he an-
thorized the following statement
'The story is entirely unauthorized.
There has been no change in the situa-
ton, and nothing has been decided as to

unity that have been made. They have
refused to ioin in common primaries for
the election Of delegates to a State con-

Republican voters of the State, to repre-
sent all the Republicans. They have re-
fused to accept ticket made by such
convention, in the making of which the
minority was to make its own selections

to make State Central Committee to
represent all the Republicans of the
State. They have refused to join in a
concerted action by two State conven-
tions for the making OF one Republican
State ticket. All OF this was suggested
in the Uni IN Republican proposition for
party unity made by the Union Republi-
can State Committee on January 10 last
That proposition is still open and the
Anti-Addcks Republicans are still re-
jecting it.
The final rejection OF these PROPOSE
tions prevents the unity Vi the Republi-
can vote on one ticket at the next cleo
tion, unless the individual voters assert
their right Of choice in the selection Of
ballots and vote for the Union Republi-
can candidates. This condition ofthings
brings the matter OF Republican success
in this State up to the individual voters,
up to the voters who, declaring them
selves Republican neutrals, have been
camoring about getting together. These
voters can effect what they demand if
they will act consistently with their de-
mand. They must decide this question,
OF choosing ballot, as they decide for
or against the Democratic party-eyery
vote cast for ticket made in opposition
to the principle of Republican unity is
half vote cast for the Democratic ticket.
In such dilemma there are several
questions which suggest themselves to
the get.together voter anxious to make
his vote count for as much as possible
for the principles of his party, and for as
much as possible in promoting the sue.
cess Of those principles at the polls. The
most important OF these questions Isl
Which of the various claimants for my
support is most likely to beat the Demo.
Gratis? The facts as we have stated them
answer this question.
The Union Republican party is the
only Republican organization of this
State in which Republican voters can
hope to win against the Democrats. Itc
numerical strength proves that. Its or
ganization is the best the State ever saw
Its leadership is true and capable. 1t is
intact and has lost nothing either in
votee, unity OF purpose or leadership. II
is the Republican party OF the State,
strong in all its divisions. There are nc
factions in it. The so-called Regular Re-
publican party is a combination o.
cliques and factions. 1t exists only in
our county and includes only half the
voters of that county, counting with il
every Republican voter who is not q
Union Republican.
Getting together, in any reasonable
way, in any way promotion of Republ;.
can victory, means getting into the
Union Republican party. That party can
win if all the Republicans who have ad-
vocated getting together to assure success
will vote it's ticket.
The sun., 1900-05-31

1t is admitted, on all sides, that what
Shese figures foreshadow as the result of
bhe coming election would occur. 1t
follows, therefore, that combination Of
she Republican vote of the State is the
vital issue in our local politics. 1t fol-
lows, too, that promotion of combina-
zion of the Republican vote is good-the
best-Republican policy, and the pre-.
vention of it is good-the best-Demo.
