There are enough Republicans in tn
Legislature at Dover to elect two Re
publican United States Senators, an
among them are enough to do it VIII
can do it, and we dare say will do il
if they will agree to get together in
heart to heart talk about the grand oil
party whose honor and interest are il
their keeping as its representatives, an
will talk about its history, recalling tn
long, hard struggle it has endured, it
present condition in Delaware and it
future prospects.
In such talk there are many thing
upon which they will agree; and man.
things, which if recalled will move thei
hearts and wills to mutual helpfulnes
in establishing their party in powe
here, and having it represented at tn
National Capitol. These things are no
merely matters Of personal interest, o
present interest, but things which mari
the struggle for the liberation Of tn
State, that were coincdent to the liber
alton Of the Republic from the grip ant
curse of slavery. The triumph of thu
principles of Lincoln has only just CONT
in Delaware. The civic fight lying unde
and behind the civil war, is in Delaware
now where it was in the United State
gcncrally-the loyal States-when Abra
ham Lincoln was inaugurated Presiden
of the Republic. What Lincoln, thu
civil war congress, the Union army ant
its glorious commanders represented
what their battletields represented, ha'
just come to Dclawarc--the first full Re
publican State Administration has jus
been inauguratcd. The future of the Re
publican party in this State is all before
the Republicans in the Legislature ant
in their hundS-all subject to their de
ci,ion. The fight in which they are thu
favored victors was Il fight for politica
Justice. The end ought to he triumph
Of Justice; not only for the liberated ant
cnfranchiSed people, but for the leader:
to whose patriotic devotion, endurance
and skill is due the victory. When thu
civil war ended, when the armies were
diSbanded and the people wanted sue
ccssor Of the immortal lincoln, they
turned to General Grant. He il was wht
had ovcrthrown the rebellion and made
permanent the decree of Lincoln, max
ing the Republic free and giving libert!
to Ill the people. No man had beel
more bitterly ass:'il.d than he, and N
man had more bitter enemies than he
But he had been tried. He had Tough
the cuuutry's battles and won its victor
les. Justice demanded that this veto
should have his reward in the creates
honor the nation could give. The pcopl
gave it. The result justified the giving
An almost similar situation exists il
Delaware. except the fight for civic liber
alton has continued for nearly fifty year
after the end of the civil war. Thu
end has come. The victory is complete
