TO the editor of Public LEDGER
For twenty years past, prior 10 my
entrance into Delaware politics,
pr ctically the sole aim Of the guam.
Gam Republican leaders has bee n 10
control the patronage under the
Republican national admins ira
tions. No attempt was made TO
organize victory in the State until
Charles H. Treat, under the most
adverse circumstances, wrested vic
tory from the Democrats in the year
1889. At that time l had lived and
voted twelve years in Delaware. hav-
ing moved into the State in 1877.
Treats victory called my atten tion
to politics. and l have devoted the
last fourteen years to perfecting the
organization Of The Union Repub.
1icans, which has reached complete
victory under the Hon. J. Frank
Alice against tho combined Demo-
crato, boiling Republicans and Fed
,'eral of1icehol ders Of this State, back.
led by the money Of john and James
Dobson and the Bancroft Cotton
Mills Of this State.
Large numbers of the boiling Re-
publieans voted yesterday the
straight Democratic ticket in close
districts In strong Republican dis
tricts the Democrats withdrew their
candidates for the Legislature and
placed upon the ticket the boiling
Republican candidates, with the in.
tention Of ele,tlng Democratic
Legislature, which it was agreed
should elect to the United States
Senate the immaculate Willard
Salisbury. a Democrat Of the worst
type, and General James II. Wilson,
a laughably impotent Republican
born in Illinois.
IESThis policy has resulted in the loss
TO the Republican party of enough
close districts TO prevent the Re-
pubIcans from having two-thirds
vote in tho Legislature, preventing
me passage Of a new charter for the
city of Wilmington.
) The great increase in the strength
Of the Union Republicans in Kent
and Sussex has prevented the loss
of a Republican majority in the
Legislature. After the canvass of
the voters tomorrow in the three
counties Of New Castle, Kent and
Sussex the Republicans will have on
Joint ballot at least thirty members
against twenty-five Democratic. 1t
lis practically a certainty that at
least twenty-seven Republicans,
being majority oflthe Legislature,
will 60 into caucus and elect two
Republican United States Senators.
a Public opinion has become so
overwhelmingly favorable to this
action that all must submit, not
withstanding the clamor of few
boilers and their newspaper organs.
Tt is possible that the Governor may
think it wise to call special session
to dispose of the matter before the
convening of Congress.
Humanity speaking, there is no
power which can induce me to with.
draw as a candidate while the two
vacancies are unflled. In passing
VIC have taken away the temptation
Of Federal patronage by eXcising
from the situation Congressman
Ball, who betrayed our confidence.
: Permit me to observe that the
time has come for the great Renub.
lican journals to cease msrepresent-
ing Delaware Republicans, and, if
necessary, contine themselves to the
affairs of their respective localities
unless they ascertain the simple
truth in Delaware affairs and pub
llsh the same, fearessly and with
out reryersion.
