The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1901-03-11
WHAT or THE FUTURE.

/ Two tningS lnulcatlVe Oh tne lutuTe Ill
Delaware politics are now plain. The
Anti-Addicksites have only delayed, and
not prevented Mr.. Addicks' election to
the United States Senate. The distinc-
ton between the Republicans and Anti
Addicksites has been marked so dis
ltinctly that there is no longer any doubt
about where the Republicans of this city
and county are to rally in the coming
contests with Democrats. Whatever
other conditions may obtain, the Repub-
LEANS will rally on the Union Rcpubli-
can flag.
There has been an idea abroad among
the people that Union Republicanism
represented factionalism; that it repre-
scntcd something in politics prejudicial
to the interests of the people, and that
was disloyal to the principles and poll
cics of the great party of which it
claimed to be division. That has all
been removed. The idea was political
mirage made permanent by continual
parties. The people have been convinced
of the truth and loyalty of Union Rcpub-
LEANS to the great National party, to
which the country owes so much by its
sturdy courageous fight against every
nv;l p,lii ;,oI ,,nn b;no i;nn orr, vol ouoinSt
| it-by its patience, its generosity and its
valor. Its victories for the Republican
party in 1894, 96, '9S and 1900, victories
won against terrible Odds have won the
confidence of the Republicans as no
other party organization has ever won
or held it. The course Of the Union Re
publicans under Mr.. Addicks leadership
during all these campaigns was a marvel
of patience, generosity and courage.
The men who promoted the recent lcgis-
latye defeat Of the Republican attmcpt
to elect two Republican United States
Senators, tried in every way possible to
"I'h' ih' 'l"Tl u lHk' al accPplhDlt
Republican ticket, to be voted for by all
the Republicans. All the arts of wicked
political diplomacy were exhausted in
their attempt. Having in view the final
effort in the legislature men were n0mi-
mated by the common vote of the party
who were already pledged to defeat the
great object of the campaign. Every
pledge of the Union Republicans was
faithfully carried ont. Every pledge OF
the ti-AddickSitcS was violated. and
rs II consequence the State is now with
ont any representative in the Senate Of
the United States. The conviction that
this result was deliberately brought
about as the result of planned treason to
the Republican party, has seized the
minds of III" Republican voters with a
force and tcnacity that no sophistry can
weaken. and no violence break. This is
/ the undcniablc political situation today
This situation warrants this conclu
sion. There is no longer any serious di-
vision in the ranks of the Republicans
they are all Union Republicans now.
The Republicans Of the State regardless
Of former differences are rallyine around
the Republican majority of the State
legislature which voted consistently
and prrSiStently for the election of two
, United States Senators. They represent
the Republican sentiment of the State.
With this rs starting point it is easy to
predict Il united Republican party every
where in this State and in every contest
with III" Democrats The Anti AddickS-
ties who hope to continue their defeats
of the Republican party. will have to
continue their Democratic affiliations.
That is the sentiment aud purpose with
which the Union Republicans will ap-
p'"ach the coming city campaign--with
which they will prepare for the State
campaign two years hence. Their policy
has been, is now and will continue to
be, to unite the Republicans Of the State
in ON" loyal, capable party organization
I'll" people are convinced of that now,
and will support the Union Repul-
LEANS in their further efforts to bring
il about as the only means by which the
Stat" can be kept in the Republican line
For this The people are raIlying to the
support Of the Union Republicans
When that has occurred. success has
been uniform since the organization.
