AN OLD REPUBLICAN
NAILS A FEW LIES
In SURE TERMS
To the Editor of The Sun.

newspaper was to 1uTulsn laCbs anu at-
tempt to enlighten and educate the
people. The Morning News in this
mornings issue comments on para
graph selected from the Union Repnbll-
can of Georgetown and in its comments
Gays the Uuion Republican party was
born through crime. Those very words
are known to the writer to be falseh0Ods |
and the Morning News displays its
malice and venom in its language.
The Union Republican party is known |
|throughout the State by that name
There ia none other, In adjoining states
it is known by no other name. Until
the present organization of boilers, party
betrayers and character assassins came
into existence and were given the title of
the old organization by their friends the
Democrats. The full title oil the party
had grown into disuee.
The News speaks of the Legislature of
1895 when four men stood against
fifteen. In that action in my estima-
lion they were perfectly justified.
The State had never previous to
that time been carried by the Repub-
| lican party, and on that occasion it was
J. Edward Addicks who possessed the
solemn pledges of over two.thirds OF the
members elected. Were they justified?
Il was the manhood of the Republican
who determined the corruption, de-
bauchery and hypocrisy of the old gang
should cease; their trading and traffic
ing in the loyal votes of Delaware should
come to halt. Were they endorsedf
History records 1T. The men who had
determined to redeem the party from the
lhvpocrites and party wreckers went into
1.-THE public caucus or party primaries and
| tN "a convention nf tho Re-
publican party with two thirds of the
whole convention. There and then the
foul conspiracy which had been Matched
up The Sunday previous developed ITSELF
Their manhood and party love forsook
them. There aud then these men who had
betrayed the party for over 25 years
bolted and entered into foul conspir-
acy, with venom and malice in their
hearts to destroy the party for the fee oil
government patronage.
They appealed to the Democrats whose
willing tool they had been for near half q
century, for assistance. We all remem-
ber with what srccess they met. These
people who had betrayed the party eau.
Gus; these political assaasins and hypo
critics appealed to the people and were
lrepudiated for irving to wreck the party
and it's organization with the assistance
of the Democrats. Like thieves at mid
night they went forth and patched up |
conspiracy to rob the Republican part,
| Of the fruits of it's victory and they hav'
{, succeeded.
Again / will bring your attention TO
later date when these party wreckers
lhypocrites and fialsiers entered into
solemn compact to enter the party eau
Gus or primaries and abide by the result
NAt fphax, darr rct
tain obligations to the Democrats fo
le their very existence and so after the
IN ha6 solemnly agreed that there shoul
ar be but one set of nominees for the sam
= office throughout the State, they place
an entire independent Legislative ticke
n. in the field in Kent county with whf
ra result? Doctor Moore was defeated
= Democrats applauded. They were saved
or These hypocrites with venom and maliC
in in their hearts felt justified. These AZ
dicks haters, slanderers, hypocrits an
: party wreckers said they bad receive
uu the endorsement of the administrator
NJ DR.. Moore was defeated by nine vote
His opponent Knight, who had bee
y placed there by the Regulars receive
20 fifty-eigbt votes and SO the Democrat w
elected.
an What would have been the result
ed DR.. Moore had not been betrayed? III
Republicans would have been in II
he majority in both houses. Meredith ar
i Moore would have been expelled fro
the seats which they illegally occupie
ed and with one other change, ii
do Republicans would have been able to {
business The infamous bill placil
lsh Democratic registrars throughout u
State would have been repealed, u
Wilmington election commission, whit
the is simply Democratic machine, wou
IRE have been of q passing remembrance
The Levy Courts would have been plac
in a condition that the majority OF vote
should rule. Do these political hyp
critics, who for years have debauched t
vote in Wilmington, feel they have be
md sinned against?
rob When next you go forth with siand
av on your tongue and with malice al
10 venom in your heart and in your hyI
,rtS critical garb with determination
ide wreck and betray your party, ]
TAI. call some of your Accomplishment
the Government patronage, Democra
oen Governor, Democratic Senator, Den
mo cratic registrars, Democratic t
VIZ collectors a nd constables; the rets
bar ton of Democratic Levy Courts; 4
tan creation of a Democratic workhor
no commission; and then think of your
;tr trayal of DIR. T. @. Moore and what su

the end. These are the men whom
II. Morning News wishes to see endors'
,ars The time is rolling around when
On manhood of the party must assert its
,ma in Delaware. The corruption of
and bolter leaders in their desire to debau
'ich the masses and their damnable hypocr
ans may again wreck the party. There
but one Republican party, and that
the Union Republican party. 1t has
me-. Democratic allies. Do not be misl
nee Seek facts. The Morning News shoI
her support all Republicans. They all hell
this to support it. hope this will also
