From The Suns Staff Correspondent.
Dover, Del, Aug. 23.-Harmony filled
the air in the State Capital today and
the Union Republican State Convention
held here caught up the inspiration Of
the former State convention and struck
one more good blow for the unity of
Republican factions in Delaware and
the success of the Republican ticket
next fall. \ full State ticket was
named, agreeing in every particular ex-
cept the presidential electors and the
auditor of accounts with the ticket
named on August 6 by the same politi-
cal organization.
The State of Delaware, and it is rea-
sonably conceded by conservative Demo-
Gratis, was made safe for Mckinley and
Roosevelt today by the fact that the
Union Republican State Convention en-
dorsed the presidential electors placed
in the field last Tuesday by the Anti
Addcks Republicans. On the national
ticket all Republican factions in Della
ware are now agreed.
Today's convention composed Of Re-
publicans who believe, and whose be-
lief is substantiated by actual demon
stration, that they comprise vast ma
jority of the Republicans of the State,
re-aflirmed its declaration of the rights,
as the first choice on the State ticket
by nominating DIR. George w. Marshall
of Milford for Governor. One change
in the ticket outside of the electors was
made. Obed w. Aarvil of Laurel, a
Union Republican, was named for State
Auditor. Daniel j. Layton who had
been on the ticket for auditor was made
Il presidential elector nominee. The
| Union Republican State ticket as nomi-
mated today stands:
For presidential electors-Charles w.
| PuSey, Manlove Hayes and Daniel j,
| Layton.
For Congress-(short term) Walter 0.
Hoffecker of Smyrna.
| For COngress-Qong term) DIR. Caleb
| II. Layton, of Georgetown.
| For Governor-Dr. George w. Mar
shall, of Milford.
For Lieutenant-G Govcrnor-Joh Hum
Of Wyoming.
For y-General-Herbcrt II
Ward of Wilmington.
For Auditor Of Accounts-Ohed w
| Marvil of Laurel.
For State Treasurer-AIartin Il. Bur
ris Of Mildletown.

bury J. Wiley of Wilmington.
Today's convention got down to work
early and completed its labors in a
short time The time was given more
to the consideration Of unity with the
Anti-Addicks Republicans than to the
nominating of candidates. The State
Central Committee was empowered tC
use its efforts to secure ol@ ticket anC
was further empowered to remove from
today's ticket any of the candidates
thereon, just as the best interests of thu
Republican party directs.
Furthermore. the convention adopted
as the sense of the representatives of thu
Union Republican, the harmony propo
stion presented the AntiAddicks Re
publicans on January 10 by State Chair
man Alice.
One thing was determined today
DIR. George w. Marshall will remail
the Union Republican candidate 70
Governor until the close of the poll
on November 6. As to the Congression
al nominee DR.. G. X. Layton capture'
the convention with brilliant speecl
that he would sacrifice all his persona
ambitions whenever it was though
necessary for him to be removed fror
. the ticket.
: As power was vested in each con
mittee, it is likely that one ticket ma
, be arranged before many days. Their
, is talk of the probable nomination q
William S. Hilles or Horace Greel
| Knowles for Congress. If any chang
, is to he made i'll the Congressman fo
the sake of unity one of these two me
is likely to be accepted.
