THE NEW DEAL.

As should have been expected after the
decision OF the National Conventions
Committee on Credentials, the conven.
tion voted yesterday to seat the Union
Republican delegates as the representa-
tives OF Delaware in the National party
council. That is we'll. II is a result that
could not have been avoided eventually,
and it is we'll that it has been done now.
That vote has removed the cause of the
local Republican contention and division
and made reunion of all the vital and
forceful elements Of the Republican party
Of the Siate in ore organization. A
speedy reunion Of these ele-
ments is sure to follow. Success at the
10 S will follow that reunion.
The desire for such reunion has been
general among Republican voters. There
can be no doubt about that. The masses
of the Republican voters have never
been disloyal to their party principles,
nor have any very large number OF them
ever desired to be disloyal to their party
orgat isation. Thousands of them in
this c, unity, however, have been deceived
and persuaded to ally themselves with a
b liter organization alleged to, in some
8 lperior way, represent Republican
principles, and to be the orthodox party
organization, because OF its recognition
by the National Convention and by the
National Administration. They: were
(are) good loyalists and accepted the
dictum that the king could do no wrong.
These men did not believe the lies that
were being told to boost the bolt of 1896,
thev did not accept as sincere the appar.
ent sentiment of extra goodness on the
part of thel boilers; their common
sense taught them better. There wss,
however, continued repetitiop< in tLel
ears Of the judgment Of the Conventicr
OF 1896, and the acceptance of it by tl.e
National Administration, and they &c
ferred to what they considered highs 81
authority in the case, and accepted the
decision of the Administration upon tht
theory that the President OF the United
States b. virtue OF his character and po
siti1n rad better capacity and oppor
turities for discerning tie truth than
they TAI Upon this tle4yy they com
meu3cj what authority had sanctions(
and be aa. boilers in the full faith tia
they were The real and Only Regular RE-
publicaas u The State. Taese siacelt
Republicans must now revise tLcir faith
Tie dee sion Of yesterday was reacAe {
after the most exhaustive investigation
1t is based upon fundamental political
truth. It has been made by the same
authority that gave life and power to thC
b)iter organization. 1t will be accepted
and ratified by the President of the
United States. He will do that with thu
same sincerity of purpose, and in thu
same good faith that he accepted and
ratified the decision of the convention o
1896. We are ready to say that he will
be more sincere in his acceptance OF thi
last decision of the National Convention
for like the members of the convention
in accepting its decision, there is an i'm
piled admission that he too has been de
ceived as to the truth of the situation il
Delaware politics. An implied admis
sion that he has discovered that his rea
friends in this State are the men VIII,
were represented to him as being his enc
mics. The truth is, and it has beef
abundantly proved, the Union Republi
can party has never been inimmical tc
the President or his administration. Th
President now knows this. HI
knows, too, that the Union Re
publican party is the only partl
of this State that has been thoroughly
and truly loyal to the great party O
which ne is the chief. He knows tina
this party-Union Republican-can anC
will bring this State into the line OF Re
publican States. That it will give tht
people a Republican local government
and will aid the National party in its gov
ernment OF the nation.
These are the things which, proven
has brought about the reversion OF th,
decision of the National Convention, anC
q revision OF the Presidents opinion
about Delaware politics. These, too arc
the things which are to bring about the
union Of all the true and loyal Rapubli
can voters of this State in one party or
ganization, and win the State in Novem.
