Wilmington, Del.-The Republlcan
party in Delaware for the first time
since 1894 will present to the Democrats
this year Il united front that VIII pc
hard to beat. The chances for Republi-
can success We're never better and con-
seryative estimates place the Republl-
@an majority this fall at from 5000 to A.
0. The people of this little State for |
i.a last four years have enjoyed an era |
prosperity never before experienced. |
Ii every town in the State new indus |
lies have sprung up, and the farmer
has been able to dispose of his produce |
at good prices because the people living
in the city had money with which to
buy what he had to sell. They do not
want to change the situation. Not only
will there be only one set Of Presidential
electors, which insures the three cleo
toral votes being cast for President Nc
Knley, but the election of the State
ticket. majority of the members of the
Legislature and a Republican ticket in
every one Of the three counties.
Two Republican tickets were nominat-
ed this year by two Republican convpIl-
tions and it looked as if there would
. be repetition of 1896. when there were
<Swo Republican tickets all the way down
tROs line The first ray of hope was seen
when the two factions agreed to hold
ommon primaries i'll New Castle coun-
his agreement was only reached
ssSssk, and it was predicted ut that
time that the Republicans would get to-
gether on the State ticket. Meetings
We're held separately and jointly, and it
7eemed as if every effort to get one
lcllet was in vain. The rank and file of
the voters demanded harmony, however.
an dthe leaders on both sides We're urged
to act quickly. Harmony did not come
any too soon
People living outside of the State do
not know so well what Republican sue
cess means to the Diamond State. For
years the Republican party, by reason
of unjust laws made TO favor the Demo-
cratic party. then i'll power was power
less to carry the State. Voters were in
timidated at the polls and negroes and
uneducated white people were disfran-
& chised. The high handed methods of the
Democrats We're carried so far that the
