DR.. Hllam K. Burton, lhe tail veter-
an polUtIcIan OF Lewes and Rehobouh,
preelp4tated a llvely 1racas IN the con-
venJton Immediately aruer The nom
inatpCns mad been made informally by
dhe caucus chairman. Limping up the
aisle, still lame trom tne Hd.el Malvon
accldeMC IN Philadelphia where he had
gone as a delegate ito the National
Convention, Dr.. Burton waved mis-
cane in The air and shouted:
Mr.. Chairman, wiuhput harmony
among THE Republicans of Delaware
we are simply wasting our ,lme Now
l move, sir, that "a committee of tive
from each of the grand DISTRICTS of this
State be appointed by this convention
Ao act as an advisory board to the new
State Central Committee in bringing
about harmony in this State"
Instantly Mr.. Addicks was ON his
feet shouting, Il hope that moaion
will not prevail, We have met here
to-day and allowed each district to
+ caucus and name one member for the
State Central Committee. They have
done SO and have named a thoroughly
representative committee Why should
you add trouble by now adding an
other committee with no power to act,
but only to advise? l hope the mo-
tion will be DEFEATED and the
gas king raised his voice ais he shout
ed the last death-knoll of the resolu-
Iiion. DIR. Button walked down the
aisle again waving his cane as though
he would toss it at the chairman, and
Dr. Layton laughed him to scorn in
resolution that the whole convention
act as an advisory board to The State
Central Committee to bring about
harmony. This amendment was car
cied with shout, but the original
motion was lost by an overwhelming
viva Voce voLe, thus again Srousing
laughter at the venerable Lewes poll
ticians efforts.
Well" concluded DR.. Burton, lem
thusiasm lis one thing and results an
other"
The conventions real action on
harmony was haken in yhe adoption Of
the report of the committee ON reso-
lutions, which was short and sweet
The platform of August 6, was re-
attirmed and the harmony business
was transacted i'm two brief resolu-
tions, thus:
The Union Republicans, in State
Convention assembled, reaftirm
their platform of August 6, 1900, and
in addition thereto, pledge Them
selves to try by constitutional amend
ment to repeal the registration acts
by which one dollar is fixed by Con
stitluional amendment at a prerequi-
sie fee to ithe elective franchise. 1t is
AN unnecessary burden on the people
and in its operations is in conflict with
THE freedom of the ballot.
THAT The State Cenural Committee
of Whe Union Republican party is here
by empowered and directed to con-
tinue their former efforts i'm the direc-
tion of united party and in pursuit
of this object is endowed with full
power ito fill all vacancies that may
happen in the nominations made by
this convention and to remove amy
candidate here made i'm order that one
ticket may be secured for all Republi-
cans of this State"
DIR. George w. Marshall sat in the
