The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1900-06-18
nONDAf. JUNE IS. 1000

IT is to be hoped that the Repub-
licans Of the different branches OIL
the party may unite on the same
candidate for Governor as we'll as
on the same electoral ticket and the
candidates for the local Offices in
the different Hundreds. In looking
over this county, we do not see a
more acceptable candidate for Gov
ernor than DR.. Joseph H. Chandler
of Centreville. 1t is true he has
been classed with the Regular Re-
publicans. but he is possessed OF
those attributes of fairness that
will lead him to deal Justly with all
his supporters and endeavor to
promote the interests of the party
as we'll as the welfare of the people
generally. He is in the prime Of
lite, possessed Of good Judgment
and ranks high in his profession.
If nominated and properly support
ed, he will be elected by a substan-
tial majority, and only the veriest
sorehead that ever existed will find
a single cause to complain. AS
other candidates may be suggested
for nomination, we call rartic-
ular attention to the selection at
this early date, and trust that
due attention will be given to the
matter. If there are other gentle
men possessed OF better or more
acceptable record, we should like to
hear their names and have their
qualific atoms discussed. It is high
time all Republicans should deter
mine to rescue onr State from Demo-
cratic domin alton without regard
to the action OF the National Con-
vention on the admission of dele
gates or the recognition of party
leadership. Every voter should
resolve to do his duty without re-
gard 10 the action of others, and
then the result will prove satisfac-
tory, not only to the Republicans of
our own State but to the Republic
Cans In every State in our country.
SAID a we'll known Democrat this
morning, the Democratic party in
Delaware lacks good leaders. The
men who are looked upon as leaders
are OF the selfish kind, they are
looking out for offices for themselves
and friends, instead of the success
of the party. He said with good
leaders the Democr attic party never
had a better chance to win in Della
ware, hands down, than this year,
with the Republicans fighting one
another like Kilkenny cats. What
is wanted is a leader for the Demo-
Gratis. Wonder If the Republican
party could not spare them lead
err or two and then win despite all
the friction now taking Up the time
and attention Of the Republican
Convention which meets in Phlla-
delphia today. The fight will now
be settled in the Convention. The
solution of the difficulty IS that Mr..
Addcks should leave Delaware,
withdraw from the Senatorial con-
test or die. He refuses todo either.
ELLIS L. HICKsIS a candidate tor
the Republican nomin alton for AS
SCISSOR of Mill Creek Hundred. He
says his nomination or defeat will
not influence his political course
one iota, that he is a Republican,
first, last and all the time. The
success of an opponent will not
change his opinion or influence his
vote. Others may desert their col
Ors, may initiate Benedict Arnold
if they wish, but he proposes to be
found at the post Of duty, without
regard to Fortune 5 frowns or ia
vors. There are several other can
dldates for this nomination, and as
only one can be elected, we hope
the others will be equally firm in
their party $ support. Wecommend
Mr.. Hicks declaration to the atten-
ton Of the candidates Tor the nomi-
nation tor sheriff as well as Tor
other offices.
