DEAR SIR: I'm Union There is

forcibly that the branch Of the party
who use the term Regular are today
very irregular. Are, in fact, guerillas
and entitled, not to the honest name
Regular, but to the dishonest one, to
quote the President, 'Scuttlers," because
that is what they are.
Let me submit that legal and morally
we and we only are entitled to the use OF
the title, Regular Republicac Party"
The pleasing fiction that the public OF
Delaware. cares for the main chatter OF
disgruntled sore heads, is, have no
doubt, comforting to our friends the
enemy. Let them hug that delusion to
their breasts until election day and what
rude awakening will be theirs. As
one of said public deem it my duty to
iEform them that the aim and ambition
of every Repnb lean in this State IS tc
be regular, and that any subterfuge they
NAV adopt will he quickly detected and
promptly punished, We have been tol'
lowing chimeras long enough | believe

CONGRESSMAN FROM CITY.

From Wilmington Letter in the Philadcphia
Record.
The Addicks leaders are not disposed
to allow the minority faction 10 have all
the say about making up the ticket. Mr..
Addicks will, it is thought, certainly
insist on the Governor and Attorney
General.
There is a strong sentiment here among
the business men in favor of having the
next Congressman come from this city.
1t has been nearly twenty years since
the city had a Congressman, and the
last few years have been most important
in securing appropriations for t.le water
ways in this neIghborhoOd. New in
dustries are locating along Il e Chris
tiana and Delaware, and there is talk oi
having the Brandywine dredged. II is
probable that the business men of tie
city will urge both parties to nominate
their candidate for Congress from vii
mington. Some Of these business mel
cay they would prefer the Representa-
tive from W''n'ngt"n rather than tn,
candidate for Governor.
