The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1901-01-24
The eighth ballot has been taken

members have not been able to
agree upon two Republicans. Every
h Sfate which had u. s. Senators to
elect, have been fortunate enough
/ 70 arrive at satisfactory conclu-
& sion. and elected the Senators The
men with few exceptions, who are
advising the hold up of two Repub-
1ican U. S. Senators. are Democrats.
This 10 part OF their plan to defeat
B the Republican party at the next
se,ec.ion in Delaware As politi-
Clans we think they are beyond the
Republicans. Ii it had not been
that the people were sick unto death
OF Democratic misrule in Delaware
! the Republican party would not
Z have had an opportunity at this
session Of the Legislature to elect
two Republican u. S. Senators.
The occasion has arisen and they
are OF equal to it and it looks as
If they would yet hand the job over
to the Democrats, who are only
waiting for an opportunity to walk
off with the result OF the victory
Of the Republican party. Some men

when it comes to politics, they are
babies to the tricks that are vain
and the waysthat are dark. They
represent them themselves. but do
they begin to represent the Drawn

we would like to hear say whatthey
think oil the Gilatory tactics OF the

between them and the victory they
helped to achieve at the polls.
What have the masses to say III

Unfortunate events have happered
IN the Republican party in the
past, which cost the party iunum-
cradle votes. but we do not care to
have the incident repeated. The
high ideal some men have is all
right il it could be carried into
practice IN Legislative bodies and
every man compelled to do as you
wanted him to do. But men view
things through different colored
glasses when any party measures
are brought view. Every honest
and well thinking Republican voter
IN Delaware wants and insists that
two Republican U. S. Senators be
ERECTED without regard as to who
they are. Why we have men who
claim to be Republicans saying
that neither Anthony Higgins nor
VIM. S. Hilles would be acceptable
to them for Senators. and they have
Influence enough to impress the
tact on several Republican members
who are favoraby inclined towards
these two gentlemen.
