THE following resolution was adopted
by the Union Republican State Conven-
tion, at Dover, April 3, 1900.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Union Republican party Of Delaware, In
State Convention assembled, that the
Union Republican State Central Com
'nittee of Delaware is hereby directed,
authorized and empowered to use all fair
snd honorable means to secure for the
Republican electors OF Delaware, irres-
pective of past differences, one set of cam
diflares for all offices to fill which the
eneial election of A. D. 1900, is to be
held il Delaware, but said committee
Fhai ave no power to agree to any plan
or paiitv, in securing such candidates, by
which any elector, Union or Regular, so
called. vi the State shall be- deprived or
excluded from the right of laboring to
drfeat the Democratic party, or deprived
of receiving any of the honors of place or
office resultins from such defeat.n

not now asking: "Will we get together2'
but are saying: sIt is all right. There
must be but ons ticket and one party"
Anybody can verify this, If anybody
doubts it,, and anybody wants to SO
verify it.
What does this mean?
1t means this, that the masses OF the
Republicans have decided that the Union
Republican proposition for party unity
is just and fair one. That it affords
the only basis for party unity and party
success, and that it mnst be accepted and
ratified. That also can be verified if
need be. The knowledge of this con-
dition is another cause for the apparent
do-nothing policy of the Anti-Addicks
Republican, and the activity of the Anti
Addicks Democrats. The Democrats are
in haste to get in line and the Anti-Ad-
dicks Republicans ate playing waiting
game to allow their Democratic allies to
show what theycan do as basis of the
proposed fusion. Aside from this CO.
operation between the opponents of the
Union Republicans, the Anti-Addicks
Republicans dare not move in active op-
position to the general ana mandatory
demand of voters for party unity
and victory at the polls. The fear
OF stampede to the Union Republican
lines, upon the first manifestation OF
open opposition to complete Republican
success keeps the Anti-Addicks Republi-
cans quiet
The Union Republicans having laid
the foundation for success in November,
having proffered everything fair and
honorable, confident that the Republican
voters without regard to factional differ
ences would ultimately approve their
course. are going straight down the line
in a fight against the Democrats for
everything in sight
The place for all Republicans who be-
lieve in that course, is in the Union Re-
publican camp.

BOARDS CRITICS UNFAIR.

The action OF tue Board of Trade in
resembling it's resolution advising Della
wares Congressional representatives to
vote for the pending bill appropriating
$500, 600 for the sup port of the CONNER
cial Museum of Philadelphia, is bringing
severe criticisn on that body; criticism
that would probably be reversed, or at
least modified, if the critics understood
the facts brought out by the discussion
during the Board of Trade meeting
which had been called especially for the
discussion and consideration of the pro.
posed resembling of the adverse resolu-
tion adopted at previous meeting. The
question at issue has thus far had
ample discussion and doubtless the board
actly wisely.
We do not understand that the &C.
tion taken was Ir )mpted by W opposi-
tion to tie leg climate purt :es of the
Commercial Museum. In fact we know
that members Of the Board OF Trade who
voted against the proposed appropria-
tion from the National Treasury, ,disavow
ary such oprnsili N; aud h It they COM
mend the method adopted for the pro-
motion OF export trade. Not only do
they commend it but are aware OF good
results from it. The difficulty in the case
arose from the sustained charges that the
Commercial Museum managers were di-
v4rting its influences from public to
private interests. The critics who find
fault with the decision OF the Board of
Trade, and who are disposed to dis
credit the business ability and public
spirit of our citizens. and particu-
larly OF their representatives the
members of the Board OF Trade,
say that these charges are not
true Tie fact is, however, that the rep.
resentatives of the Commercial Museum
at the meeting on Wednesday evening,
were confronted with the proof of the
charge and were unable to either explain
IL away or successfully impeach it. This
ia!nre was fatal. 1t not only left the
charges sustained but it raised the ques
ton of a lack of fairness and Gin cerity
on the part of the advocates of th, ap-
p 'opriation. This was enough to assure
adverse action on the part of the Board
OF Trade. 1t did this witho1t regard to
the question OF merit or demerit in what
the Commercial Museum proposes as a
legitimate effort to promote American
export trade.
The decision therefore is in no way
subject to criticism, nor does it in anv
way commit the business men and
manufacturers of this city, in opposition
to the legitimate work OF the Con.mer-
cial Museum, or to opposition TO it's aid
by government in its apparently legiti-
mate work.
