The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1900-06-06
"WEDNESDAY. JUNE 6. 1000
IT is generally conceded that DR..
Joseph H. Chandler of Centreville,

didatc tor Governor of this State.
He Is popular with all classes of
Republicans, is we'll equipped for
the position, and will, If elected,
make an honorable record for him.
self and the Republican party. If
the Republicans desire success at
the election. they will not object to
his receiving the support OF both
wings of the party. If the Regu-
lars determine to nominate and
support him, the Unionlsts should
make no objection, and if the I'm.
ionists should take the initiative,
the Regulars should not be alienat-
ed. One thing is certain. they
must unite to insure an election and
If there is no hope of an election,
there is no earthly use oil making
a nomination. To set up candi-
date for the mere purpose Of knock
ing him down, is an empty compli-
ment that no self-respecting gentle
man desires. Beside an honorable
Republican will not willingly put
friend in position that will insure
his defeat. Let DR.. Chandler be
nominated, audit allowed fair play
he will be triumphantly elected.
The State and the party will then
take on new lille, all factional trou-
bles will cease. and there will be
every reason for Republlca to
continue to labor for the benefit OF
the party, and the prosperity of the
country. The carving out of Re-
publican measures is Of more i'm
portance than the elevation of any
man to Office, and all questions of
individual preferment should be
regarded as OF little consequence.
The true patriot says my country
andN general prosperity first and
self advancement afterwards.
The Union Jack floats over the
Transvaal capital, and the Boer
war is practically ended. The sur
render Of Pretoria was preceded by
stubborn fight, at Slx-miie Spruit
and the Beers forced to retreat On
Monday the Beers were driven back
from nearly all the positions they
had been holding, and Ian Hamil-
tons mounted infantry followed
them to within 1000 yards of Pre-
toria, through which they hastily
retreated. The majority of the
British prisoners captured by the
Beers are at Watcrvak. Superior
numbers told against the Beers,
who had right on their side. Pres.
ident Kruger will now have to take
his medicine like a man. He made
a gallant fight, but the odds were
against him.
THE saloon men complain OF the
dullpess OF business during the
svmmer months, owing to the parks
being opened. Trolley rides are
as popular in the warm evenings as
ever, and thousands visit the parks
daily, to listen to the music and en-
joy the cool Of the country air.
Brandywine Springs is as popular
as ever and large crowds 60 daily.
The road was unable to handle the
crowd on the opening day, but this
will not be the case in the future.
SETTLEMENT was made yesterday
by Clerk OF the Peace Ford with
State Treasurer Ball. for the two
months ending May 5lst, amount

was received from the saloon men

wagging the head Of the dog, which
necessltates the present excessive
tax rate in our city and county.

IT begins to look as if the court
would here after refuse all new IL
censes for liquor saloons. only

a remonstrance, was granted and
that was not against the owner or
