SENATORS SHOULD Be ELECTED.

Editor The Gazette: The political
situation in Delaware, as | rec it, is
controlled by one man and not great
man IA we understand greatness, but
by various circumstances ind o5n-
ditions, such as bad advice from an
ignorant and selfish following; a narrow
comprehension of politics; sublime
egotism within himself, and slong
purse which has enabled him TO block
the advancement nf the Republican
party in this State.
Two Republican United States Sena-
tors it is pussible to have. That being
true, why should We not have themy
If we neglect to embrace the oppor.
tunity OF g getting them before Noyem-
her, 1892, We will be dominated by the
Democratic patty for years to come.
Our future as party demands the
calling together Of our members OF the
Legislature to hold IN extra session for
the purpose Of filling the vacancies 6ow
existing in time to participate in the
next sessiun of our national Congress.
LII this man cannot see the futiity of
his efforts to gain a seat In the Senate,
he shnuld be gently set aside and be
given to understand that no one man ia
greater than his party.
The election of 1900 gave the Repub
lioans 20 votes In joint session of the
Legislature and the Democrats 90 votes.
While this on the lace appears like a
safe majority, we got it by the III crest
chance, as fur of our Representatives
were elected on the close margin of 2S
popular votes. Chandler'a majority, 9;
Dayett majority, 4 Ulark's majority,
10; Hodgson's majority, II. Deduct
four Representatives from 80 leaves %
Republicans; add four to %, makes 81
Democrats.
So you see the situation as IL now
exists. Can we do as we'll in the year
1902? say emphatically. no; because
several important elements and factors
will be absent in the next campaign.
There will be no Mckinley and pro.
lection to strengthen the Republican
ticket, nor Bryan and free silver to
weaken the Democratic party. From
my associations and contact with hun
dreus OF voters from the shops, many of
whom have worked shoulder to shoulder
with me at the polls through numerous
campaigns, some for rs years down to
the last city election, know their feel
ing about the present situation, | also
know their temper, and woe be to the
man or men who again are responsible
for the defeat OF our party by
leaving the State without representa-.
tion at Washington.
