JOHN LEDYARD.

THE following resolution was adopted
by the Union Republican State Conven-
tion, at Dover, April 3, 1900.
"Therefore, be it resolved by the
Union Republican party OF Delaware, IN
State Convention assembled, that the
Union Republican State Central Com
authorized and empowered to use all iair
and honorable means to secure for the
Republican electors OF Delaware, irras-
pective OF past differences, one set Of can
didates for all offices to fill which the
neneral election Of A. D. 1900, is to be
held in Delaware, but said committee
shall have no power to agree to any plan
or policy, in securing such candidates,by
which any eloctor, Union Or Regular, SO.
called, OF the State shall be. deprived o.
excluded from the right OF laboring tc
defeat the Democratic party, or deprived
of receiving any of the honors OF place o.
office result;np from such defeat"
The sun., 1900-06-06

do not represent the Republican party in
any sense except in its official recognl-
tion by Democratic State officials. This
fact--it is fact despite all possible de-
malls OF it by Anti-Addicksites-puts the
probability of a repetition of the St.
Louis outrage in very great doubt, if in
deed it does not make it impossible. The
claim OF a sympathetic control OF the
National Committee by the Anti-Ad-
dicksites is false.
The alleged action of Secretary Dick,
of the National Committee, in the matter
of recording the names of the delegates
from this State, is untrue. The report
alleged to have come from Washington,
that Mr.. Dick had put the names OF the
bolter delegater on the sslist," intimating
that he had made temporary roll OF the
convention from which the Union Re-
publican delegates names were omitted,
was utterly false. 1t is fact that tie
names of the Union Republican delegates
were on the "iist" made by Mr.. Dick,
before he had received the names OF the
bolter delegates. The claim that Mr..
Dick had shown the bolter delegates any
favor is false. He has no authority in
the case, his duty being to receive all the
credentials of the delegates elect, and re-
port them all to the National Committee
from which they will all be reported tt
the convention. The committee is nov
we'll informed of the situation in Della
ware, and the convention will be vel
informed, facts that make repitition o
its error Of 1896 improbable.
The choice of the Union Republican
State Central Committee by the chair
man OF the Republican Congressiona
Committee as its representative in Della
ware, was deliberate act, made upo
,, information, in which the acturary ez
j pressed the sentiment OF the Nationa
! Republican committees toward Delawar
: Republicans. The facts in this case, 8
! they have developed within the last fe
months, put the Union Republicans
r the lead, and indicate their yindicatio
against all defamers by the seating
their delegates in the National Convel
{ tion with full votes.

RECORDER OF DEEDS CLARK.

We find the name of Delaware Clark,
the Recorder of Deeds for New Castle
county, advertised as that Of d director
OF the Journal Printing Company. Dur
ing the canvass OF 1898, when Mr.. Clark
was candidate for office, he was very
anxious to have Union Republicans vote
for him. We remember several inter-
views with him at that time and remem-
ber that he deprecated the division in
the Republican ranks, which he was
afraid would defeat all Republican can
didates, himself among the number. He
was sure that the Union Republicans
were not bad fellows and did not deserve
the abuse that was being heaped upor
them, Does Mr.. Clark, Recorder O

county want their Court House clerk
ships filled by citizens Of other States:
1t was announced the other day that a
clerk in the Rerorder OF Deeds office
was sick at his home at strckersville,
Pa. We had an idea that the laws o.
Delaware require the State and county
offices to be filled by citizens of Della
ware, and that the unwritten law o
State usage, and party rules enforced this
same requirement. We think it highly
probable that man capable of filling
this clerkship could have been found il

voted for the present recorder.
