SECRECY ABOUT RECORDS.

It is likely that the Delaware State
Press Association will go to the next ses..
sion OF the Legislature with number OF
measures which are intended to benent
the newspapers of this State, and which,
il adopted, would also benefit the people.
There are some things here which ought
to be remedied. There is no reason why
they should not be.
In the first place there is too much
secrecy about the records of this State.
Things which are public property IN
other States are not SO in Delaware anc
it depends entirely upon the otiic .r in
charge as to whether he will make them
public or not. In some Gases there is
rule of the court that no one but mem-
bers OF the bar shall see the records. 1t
is time that this was changed. Almost
every day there is inquiry from some
place or other in reference to the corpora
tors of some concern which has been
chartered at Dover and yet it is I'M
possible to secure the names Of the cor
porators unless the trust company winch
takes out the charter chooses to give that
formation.
.H1,he names will ofttimes snow more as

designs as Republicans anywhere. While
the contrary has been charged, it was
only done from partisan motive, and
to make political capital. This needs no
argument, for the simple fact remains,
which is conclusive and final, if Union
Republicans are not Republicans in fact
then Delaware is a hopelessy Demo-
cratic State, beyond possibility Uf re-
demption.
There need be no dispute upon mat
ter which is self evident. Our party
difficulties are due not to a reciprocal
lack of confidence in the loyalty OF the
respective parties, or to any want of con-
vction or belief in their Republicanism.
Fortunately Republicans OF Delaware
are OF the same faith and creed polti.
eally. There IS simply struggle for
supremacy. In this conflict the one side
claims tire right of majority rule: the
other the right Of minority rule. The
conflict seems endless, because majority
rule cannot be given up. To abandon
the right of the pc lple to govern them
selves would bring about an emasculated
poletariat robbed OF hope and manhood.

that they have no political rights, that

THE SPECTACLE OF
REPUBLICAN DISUNION
ON the Georgetown Union Republican.

From the Georgetown Union Republican.
The spectacle of a divided Republican
party, because of clashing ambitions and
personal aniinosities while in perfect ac-
cord in all matters of party principles
nationally and in the State, is one that
cannot commend itself to any person of
calm judgment. Ii the two Republican
organizations radically disagreed upon
national issues, or upon matters affecting
the vital interests Of our own State, it
would be reasonable to differ; and if the
variances OF plans or purposes were sufii-
GENTLY divergent, and at the same time
grave enough in character to justify con
tinued contention, there would be and
could be no expectation of future union.
Such is not the case. Nationally the
Union Republicans are as carr est and
sincere ia their devotion to the national
Republican party, to its purposes and

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is he only

disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrll Cure is taken in-

cans shold harmonize in the meantime
there will not be enough of either faction
to elect Senator.
OF course there has been a lot OF talk
about a combination between the Union
Republicans and the Democrats, but this
is largely imaginary. The Union Repub-
licans have, OF course, made inrcads upon
the Democrats in the lower part OF the
State and have gained some adherents
among the Democrats in this county, but
the Democratic party itself has never
dealt with the Union Republicans and
neither have the Union Republicans as a
party dealt with the Democrats.

Dissatisfaction is general over the ad-
