the total Republican vote in this county.
We have already shown by citing the
figures of the election returns, that a
two third Republican vote in this county
would not have elected any candidate on
the Republican ticket, fact which |
proves the absolute dependence of the |
Regular" Republicans upon the Union |
Republican vote for success. Granted, |
for the sake of argument, the claim of |
largely preponderant vote, the efforts of
the Regulars would have been futile If
| forced to go alone. Without the Union
Republican vote there could have been
no Republican representation in the Leg
islature from this county--none of the
lalleged 7" Regular" candidates could have
been elected. That was so apparent that
not one of the alleged Regular" candi-
ldates dared to declare himself indepen-
ldent the Union Republican vote and
seek election as Regular" Republi-
can. These facts, that are not to be dis
puted, sustain us in asserting that there
is no such thing as Irregular" Republi-
can representation in the membership
elect of the Legislature.
Now let us remind the du Pont organ,
and its following if it has any, that while
the Union Republicans of New Castle
county were voting solidiy for the cleo
: ton of Republican delegation i'll the
;. l I Hat, fpiapIs--thp .tRpplllnlS''
: i'm Kent and Sussex counties We're try
ing to prevent the election of Republican
Legislative delegations from those coun-
: ties, and had they succeeded in that
and it is alleged that Colonel du Pont
. by personal support with advice and
money, tried to bring that about-the
:, Democrats would have been in control
of the Legislature and the ELECTION of 0
" Republican to the United States Senate
would have been impossible.
The only reasonable conclusions to b,
reached from any fair analysis of thu
recent campaign and its results in Della
ware is:
First, the Regulars" attempted to pre-
vent he election of Republican majorit
to the State Legislature.
Second, the attempt to prevent the ele'
st tion of Republican majority to th
rs, State Legislature, was for the purpos
en- and would have prevented the election {
it two Republican United States Senator
it from this State.
he Third, the Republican majority of Il
yer legislature-elect was elected by the Unit
Republican vote of the State, and
i'm could not have been elected without tn
re- vote.
