Dover, Del, Jan. S.-Recent attempts
On lhe part q Certain New Castle county

Inc strfngFh oi the Union Republican
party IA Kent and Sussex counties today
70 fAaetly the strength OF that party one
year, two years, or three years ago
sufficient 70 carry the counties against all
opposing forces.
Union Republican leaders in Kent and
Sussex counties express surprise when
asked TO state whether or not the Union
Republican party has lost strength in
These Two counties. Party workers con-
nrm the statements of the leaders to the
elect that Union Republican strength is
as great today as two years ago.
further than this there is not a ReRu-
lar republican in this county who be-
lieyes there is any increase in the Regu.
lars organization. By actual count, in
the Eighth Representative district of
Kent county,in which FELTON, is situated
there is one Regular Republican. There
has been one Regular in this district
ever since the factiona division. Al
Harrington, in the Ninth district, there
are Just five Regulars. Every one OF
these i've hold an office auder the Fed
eral Government.
Ia Dover there are about twenty Reg.
ular Republicans, and like number is
al that can be dug up in the town Of
Milford. Twelve Is the limit in Duck
Creek hundred And so on, through
every district. The slightest increase Of
Regular Repu5 leans can not be discov
sd Union Republican strength is alb
lte in Kent and Sussex counties.
he reports Of the detection ia Union
Republican ranks in Kent and Sussex il
characteristic ot the absurd political
stories sent out from the two lower
counties. A prominent Union Republi-
can speaking to The Suv correspondent
made very clear the situation as far az
the Union Republicans of these two
counties are concerned. He said "The
Union Republicans have carried, and
with tie present strength will continue
to carry all county offices in Kent and
Sussex. With such successes as these TO
keep an organization in healthy state
there ls absolutely NJ reason TO suspect
decrease in strength
Along the same line the State Sentinel
OF Dover says:
In .he case Of party success-aad no
one doubts it, ifthere ia party unity
the Senatorship must of necessity be an
after consideration. No Senator can pos-
sibly be elected until or unless the legis-
latiye ticket is elected. II tile Legislative
ticket is elected it will undoubtedly carry
with II the election OF the major part OF
the State and county tickets.
Under this policy, il it is accepted,
each OF the present branches ofthe party
will secure undoubtedly, the full share
OF honors and emoluments to which It's
strength entities it.. Ii ch district in the
State will send to its nominating con-
ventions representatives Of the factional
views that dominate that district,
whether it be Union Republican or Reg.
ular. OF necessity, therefore, each fac
tion will be enabled to place candidates
on the ticket OF its oEn choice.
In Kent and Sussex counties the
Union Republicans will have the call; in
New Castle it will be otherwise. The
great bulk OF the county offices Of that
county will doubtless be won by the
regulars. So be il; We in Kent and Sus-
sex have no right or inclination to inter-
fere; at the eame time we claim the
right 10 select our own candidates. The
legislative tickets will be shared in the
same way, and in each Of the counties.
Up to this point there surely exists no
cause, real or imaginary, for division.
With united party, working for the
success OF such a ticket, every Republi-
can who desires the success OF his party,
will be enabled to rejoice in victory
which will secure the State aud county
tickets. carry the election by good ma
iority and give the people clean, local
self-government which they urgently
need.
"When that is secured. when the Re-
pnblicans fill the State and lolnty Offices
and good government is secured, then il
will be time enough to take up the
after consideration, IL cannot possibly
be done till sll that of necessity pre-
cedes it has been fully accomplished.
Secure the square meal fret end then
trust TO luck and circumstances for the
dessert"
The Plan of Give and Take.
With characteristic impudence the
Regular Republican leaders Of New
Castle are ascrbin: the give and take"
plan to the uncertain Mr.. Fred Eden
Bach. THE SuS correspondent hears
story OF this propositions presentation
which anti dates Sir. Bach'e expression
by two weeks. Ia fact the harmony
proposition OF 'give and take relative
TO State Offices is Union Republican. II
has been advised BY Union Republicans
for months AMI now meets with favor at
the hands Of quite number OF Regular
leaders.
However, the story which anti-dates
Mr.. Bach's expression by two weeks is
worth telling. IG incidentally shows the
estimation in which DIR. G. r. Layton,
|. the Georgetown Union Republican
I leader, is held by the Republicans OF
