SAYS THE MILFORD CHRONICLE.
In a recent Issue the Middletown
a DUPONT organ in rural
New Castle, asked.
Who are the men disposed to bring |
about the defeat OF the republican
party?" Describe them that they may
be recognized and that the people may
condemn their efforts. Thou art the
man" was the fearless Nathan's mes
sage. 1t was effective.
From evidence produced within ten
days past their names and pictures can
be nailed to the cross as-First, Henry
A. Dupont and Levi G. Bird, and the
Federal Building crowd in Wilmington
Second-all officeholders indebted TO
Henry A. DUPONT for their places.
Third-that group OF three, the Middle
town Transcript, whose editor Is too
aick to keep in touch with the process
sion; the News and Advertiser and the
Sussex Republican.
They all see a yaWning chasm below
them after harmony and reorganiza-
ton has enabled the republicans to
sweep the etate. and these are the men
who want no harmony In the republic
can party.
The harmony propositions from Mr..
Alice have caused a greater part OF the
regular" republican rarty to consider
the situation, and from indications out
side of those who owe their positions to
Mr.. Dupont, and those who are en-
ployed to edit his newspapers, there is
a general desire to bring the factions
together.
No man, or men, can be read out of
any partly is an impossibility, and
lneither Mr.. DUPONT nor Mr.. Addicks
must be permitted to stand In the way
of republican success in Delaware.
The Morning News says:
The matter is now before the repub-
llicans of this state. Let them consider
it seriously and thoughtfully and with
the state and the party itself. No one
man should be permitted to stand as
! greater than the party, and no man il
} to be permitted to use party for hi.
