nority can do nothing better than de-
feat the popular WILL That at least is
the demonstrated result of the Delaware
Republican war Of the minority upon the
Since the State campaign of
1896 in which the bolters decnired 4
large number Of Republicans into bclev-
ing that II majority of the Republicans
would vote their ticket, and that their |
ticket would win at the polls, the Union |
Republicans have not allowed single |
campaign to 80 by default, nor have they |
suffered a single defeat except where. in
isolated districts, the boilers would not
vote for the majority candidates.
In dealing with the Delaware situation
the attitude OF the Democratic party is
an element that cannot be wisely ignored
Successive defeats of that party Mt the
! hands of the Union Republicans, have
made the latter the only rec ,grized
!; dangerous enemies of the Democratic
4 organization. On the contrary the same
! experiences have developed an atlirmity
between the Democracy and the bolting
chosen allies. The whole Democratic
movement is toward prolonging the divi-
sion Of the Republican vote. and securing
an alliance with the bolter Republicans.
It follows that recognition and support
Of the bolter Republicans is. in fact play
ing into Democratic hands. 1t contin-
