The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1902-01-25
SATURDAY. JANUARY rs. 1909.


was fred yesterday when the
Union Republican State Central
Committee held its first meeting in
our city.
The writer was told that there
had been no business transacted
that was for publication at this
time, although we have been given
to understand that means and
measures and the political outlook
was talked over BY the leaders of
the Union Republican party from
New Castle, Kent and Sussex couu-
ties. The campaign is said to be
hopeful one and we think 80 our
selves, if the dove Of peace settles
upon the two wings Q! the Republi-
eau party. but not otherwise.
We may not be able 10 get at the
ms and outs OF the party but from
coming into personal contact with
great many voters who have been
identified with The Republicans in
thle city and county they will have
to change their views il the party
expects to be successful at the com.
ing campaign.
There will always be men who
differ in every party, especially as
10 the htness OF this or that man
aud great majority will have to
vote different from the way they
are now taking if Delaware is to
be redeemed from the Democratic
party who have designs OF their
own on the capture OF the LcEisla-
ture. The capture of the next
Legislature in Delaware means IA
great deal to either the Republican
or the Democratic parties. The
citizens Of Wilmington. we believe,
are tired unto death oil commissions
and Will insist on mem bers of the
Legislature p!eGsing themselves
TO vote il elected, TO abolish ali
commissions. y new city charter
or something is needed thar will be
an improvement on the manner in
which the eighty thousand ctlzeus
OF Wilmington have been governed
for the past ten years. All reforms
have generally always come out of
the Republican party but W. have
come 10 the conclusion that too
much reform may mean the hauu-
ing Of the city government over 10
the Democrats.
Wilmington is governed by a Re-
publican Mayor. a Den.ocrati: City
Council, Democratic Municipal
Judge, aud Republican Deputy
Judge, Democratic Mun.cipul
clerk, kepu publican City Solicitor,
Democratic Clerk OF Council
Republican City Treasurer. a Demo
cratic City Auditor. one Republi.
can and one Democratic CITY Tax
Collector, Il Republ can Police,
Water aud Street and Sewer Com
missions, with Il general sprins-
ling Of clerks aud oil GERS of both
political faiths il all of these de
pattments. The city office are
fairly divided up between both DO.
litical parties,
The county office, are filled NV a
sheriff, coroner rIrrk
