The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1900-03-27
TUES DAY. rlARcH ~. 1000.

HERE'S a sample of what those
good Republican papers say in
their columns about Republicans
who differ with them in repaid to
the political leaders.
The Dover Sentinel published BY
the eX.paying teller OF the Dover
bank says: "lf the statement that a
renegade is worse than ten Turks
needed confirmation, it was furnish
ed by Mr.. Jonathan S. Willis last
Wednesday evening,in his TRADE at
the boilers convention. The pro-
ceedings of the convention while de-
void of special interest or enthusi--
asm, were in the main of an ORDER
ly dignified character. Mr.. Willis
was not down to address the con-
ventlon but he could not let the op.
portunity slip by without saying
something. Not content with de
claring his conversion to the new
faith, he was denunciatory of his
old factional associates and appar-
emily had eliminated every memory
Of substantial fayors received at the
hands OF the party and the party
leader. Mr.. Willis proved himself
an migrate and turned his back on
his party simply because his taste
for office whetted his appetite for
larger honors and more substantial
emolumenis which he could not get.
His exaggerated admiration Tor the
President presented strong con-
trast to his open and oft expressed
opinion Of the Chief Magistrate
when he failed to receive the ap-
pointment to Guatemala and when
his expectation to become burn
ing and shining light, suffered de-
feat" This is the kind of eulogy
that the preacher-politician is re-
ceiving from his former Union Re-
publican friends. They say 1t is a
poor man who is not open to convic-
ton and cannot change his opin-
ion. Willis says his eyes have
been opened. At any rate as Re-
publican he was elected Congress
man. Then came the split in the
two years following when he and
John Higgins were candidates on
rival Republican tickets, both de-
feated and the free silver Democrat
l.. Irving Handy being the success.
full candidate, who ably represented
Delaware because he is a good
talker, if not always truthful one.
From present indications the fight
between the two Republican fac
tions is going to be renewed with
all its old-timed bitterness. "
If the Republicans wish to elect
their candidates at the coming
State election, the leaders must re-
solve to let bygones be bygones.
The dead past should be allowed to
bury its dead. If the old fight is to
be continued through the coming
campaign, there is little use in ex-
pending a dollar to register, or
waste single hour in going to the
election. To win, the Republicans
to be successful, must unite on the
candidates. In other words there
must be but one ticket IN the held.
To attempt to eliminate any one
from the party by resolution or
agreement will prove abortive, sui
cidal. Every man has his friends
and they cannot be expected to ac-
