DESIRE TICKET DEFEATED
Men Among the Boilers Striy-
ing in Insidious Manner for
Democratic Success.
DR.. MARSHALL WILL STAY

the Union Republican Ticket

is Counted.
DR.. MARSHALL WILL STAY
From the Georgetown Union Republi-

from the GeOfSelOWn Union ltepupu-
can.
The question Of Republican union
seems to be i'll the process of incuba-
tion. There is no doubt that the pre-
valent desire IS for one ticket and
united front in the coming fight. There
are however men in the ranks of the
Boilers striving in an insidious manner
to accomplish Republican defeat, be-
cause of Il desire for Democratic sue
cess. Evil communications with Demo-
Gratis for some years has corrupted their
Republicanism and made them not only
Indifferent to the success of their party,
but at heart in favor of the success Of
their one time enemy. In this cam
paign no man who calls himself a Re-
publican can afford to have anything to
do with those who endanger party sue
cess in their endeavor to secure person
al benefit. The evil results of assault
ing principles, the chaos and confusion
that has come about by restoring to un-
lawful and illegitimate methors in party
government the attempt to substitute
the method of minority rule, the as
sumption that a few are superior to the
many, all of these things have occas-
stoned a state of affairs that bids fair
to defeat the Republican ticket in Della
ware from the Electors down to the
last nomination. Nothing can be done
to avert the plainly impending defeat
that awaits the Republican party in
this State except an immediate return
to the primary principles of universal
party government No harmony has
ever been possible in Delaware except
some of the rights Of regular and con
ceded majority We're recognized. A dis
cussion of men for different places upon
the ticket was simply a prolongation of
political abuse and recrimination. The
proposition to divide the ticket. making
each Republican organization respon-
sible for its own selection of candidates,
was and is the only solution OF the ques-
ton i'll default of the acceptation of Il
common primary which has been rcfus-
ed. The Union Republican party having
exhausted every endeavor to secure
unity in the party. can do nothing else
but stand like men upon their rights,
or surrender them. Under no circum-
stances will this be done if we know
anything of their manhood and spirit.
DIR. Marshall. the candidate for Cover
nor, will stay upon their ticket until the
last vote is counted. The candidate
for Representative in Congress will stay
with him without faltering unless the
proposition for harmony made in Jan
uary last is accepted. This we believe
to be the unalteFable resolve of the
Union Republican party. Harmony is
desirable: courage and determination to
preserve an inalienable right in political
government is better. Great sacrifices
have often to be made to preserve
liberty. If the success of the Republi-
can party in Delaware in the cam
paign of 1900 has to be purchased with
the price of cowardly surrender Of the
plain right of majority rule-pay the
price! in order that hereafter it may
stand as a warning of the disaster that
needs must follow upon a tyranical at
tempt to overthrow the will of the peo-
pie, and substitute the will Of the few,
