TIE following resolution was adopted
by the Union Republican State Conven.
sion, at Dover, April 8, 1900.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Union Republican party of Delaware, In
State Convention assembled, that the
Union Republican State Central Com.
mittee of Delaware is hereby directed,
authorized and empowered to use all fair
and honorable means to secure for the
Republican electors of Delaware, irres-
pective of past differences, one set of can
didates for all offices to fill which the
general election Of A. D. 1900, is to be
held in Delaware, but said committee

or policy, in securing such candidates, by
which any elector, Union or Regular, So
called, Of the State shall be deprived or
excluded from the right OF laboring to
defeat the Democratic party, or deprived
OF receiving any Of the honors OF place or

PARTY UNITY,

During the great financial discussion
preceding and incident to the resumption
Of specie payments after the civil war
the Hon. John Sherman, secretary 81
the United States treasury said "The
way to resume, is to resume" The dis.
cusslon, the avowed intent, had robbed
the dreaded thing of all its terrors by
making the people who were opposed to
1t familiar with it and by forcing the
conclusion that resumption was newt
able whether it was desirable or other.
wise. 1t was at this stage Of the discus
sion that Mr.. Sherman promulgated his
concise summing up of the whole matter,
and proceeded to act upon it. He an.
nounced a day for the resumption of
specie payments by the government, and
when the day arrived the feat was ac.
complished without so much as a ripple
OF disturbance in national, State or in.
diyidual finance.
The happy accord of the speeches de-
hvered at the Republican ratification
meeting at Augustine Pier, yesterday
suggests the application of Mr.. Sherman's :
rule to Delaware Republican politics
She way to unite, is to unite. That was
demonstrated at the meeting. So far as
She material of the meeting and tha
speakers are concerned, it was a delipbt.

note OF these speeches was unity in on
position to the Democrats, not for this

authority the speakers declared that
such unity will prevail, and that victory
will be achieved. Listening to and ap-
piauding the speeches at this meeting
were several hundred of the representa-.

HUGGING A DELUsION.

Ii it affords Every Evening any COM
fort to believe that the Union Republi-
can vote of New Castle county has fallen
from 81 to 33 per cent. of the total Re-
publican vcts of the county in 1896. we
have no objection, Its belief Of the
statement it 30 frequently makes does
not make it true. We remember that a
year ago, little more, there was quite
number OF people, including Every Even
ing, who affected to believe in the total
decadence of the Union Republican
party in this city, who had it all figured
out to certainty, and boldly proclaimed
that the party's vote would not exceed
4oo on election day. The figures didn't
hold. The people who accepted the
prophecies Of Every Evening were disap-
pointed. We are anticipating repeti.
ton OF that experience for some of our
contemporaries some time during the
coming autumn. We expect Eyery
Evening to repeat its mathematical
demonstration at least score of times
curing the interval. Keep it up neighbor.
WHERE everything was so admirable as
II was at the Augustine Pier ratification
meeting, we admit that criticism is not
to be expected. For the sake of
exact truth, however, we suggest that
Mr. Knowles speech would have
been more apropas, if he had spoken of |
'he Union Republican proposition for
party unity in the past tense-that it has
been proposed, and not that it is pro.
posed to divide the State ticket. A re-
ected proposal can hardly be rega rded

but the number of men who can
be thus occupied is comparatively small,
and in concluding I repeat as my opinion
that most young men of moderate ability
whose families are in moderate circum-
stances, should content themselves with
a high school education, and they will
have the satisfaction that while they
may be at some disadvantage, they are
not debarred from reaching the first
places in the conduct of affairs that the
struggle itself is school for the devel-
opment of energy and character. 1t is

The devotees of that most satisfactory

Estes Park-those, that is, who go there
year after year, and think no other rest

text book, which is to their cult what
"Science and Health" is to the Chris.
tian Scientists. This is the account of
that region published by Miss Isabella
Bird in 1878. They read it at their
meetings and think the last word has
been said. Indeed if there are any
terms of rapturous appreciation in the
language which do not appear in Miss
Birds Book, they must be words intro
duced since 1878. She was the first of
the writing tourists to penetrate to that
"blue hollow at the foot of Longs
Peak" and the charms of it smote upon
her soul and caused her to resound like
a bass drum. The charms are all there,
and the impression they made upon
this Englishwoman was genuine and
No one who ever read it can have for

now worshiping at sunrise from

his own mysterious past, and ending

The writer, who is sincere admirer of
Estes Park and of Miss Bird as we'll, and
who endorses every one of her adject-
ives, has long been an interested specta.
tor of Jim's pyrotechnics, as displayed
in her pages; and took some pains, in
the course OF recent visit to the park,
to learn what was remembered of him
there with result that is in the nature
of disillusion.
