THE Regular Republicans at their

THE Regular Republicans at tAelf
convention nominated DR.. j. HE'S
Ter Ball for second term for Con-
kless, and the Union Republicans
on Tuesday nominated William
Michael Byrne, U. S. District Attor-
ney for Congress. There is no use
in mincing matters, when there are
two Republican candidates for Con
gress in the tielo. neither one has
any show of being elected. The
Democratic Congress whoever
he may be. will be elected, if both
Republican candidates remain III
the field until election day.
Dr. Caleb r. Layton, in nomlnat-
ing Mr.. Byrne sand that Congress
man Ball had never treated the I'm
ion Republicans right, totally ig-
noring them, and they dill not in
tend to vote for him Il second time,
as without their help he would not
have been elected the first time.
As man, lie has nothing to say
against the Congressman, but AS a
politician he had done as he was
told by those around him, and now
has no one to thank but himself for
his rejection by the Union Republi-
cans. The Doctor then, in an Ht-
propriate speech, put William
Michael Byrne's name before the
convention. 1t was seconded by
George r. Roberts of this city, the
Rev. Mr.. Nichols of Dover and Mr..
Cahill. of Gaorgetowl.
Mr.. Byrne made speech accept
ing the nomination, which elertr-
fed his hearers and made the writ
or Think of the old-tiue conventions
which were red hot, and when the
warning factions were sure to clash
and fight out their differences on
the floor of the convention.
The acceptance Of Martin i. Bur
ris for State Treasurer and PurnNl
B. Norman. Jr., for State Auditor,
make the election OF these two OFF
Gals sure.
If the Congress middle could be
settled, it would result in a clean
Republican sweep this fall. In the
New Castle county caucus ever
thing was not as serene rs it should
have bee where all partie: were
thought t. be OF one mind. Mr..
Ad ticks presence saved an open
rupture and the delegate, settled
unanimously upon Mi. Byrne rs
their choice for Congress.
On the state Central Committee
Evan Gallagher WAS elected instead
of William B. Clerk. Gallagher
election was one Of those incidents
where Mr.. Addicks was not consult
ed in the choice. He favored Mr..
Clerk, but Mr.. Giallagher's friends
were too many and he won ont.
Daniel B. Stewart, who has not
been identified to any extent with
the Union Republicans for the past
two years or more, was Il delegate
from his ward yesterday He sail
1t was a grave mistake not 10 have
accepted Ball aud thereby sweep the
State, which will be an impossible
ity with two Congressional caudi-
dates on two Republican tickets.

We consider Mr.. Byrne is strong
= candidate as the Union or Regular
Republicans could have nominated
and with but one Republican ticket
ID the field, he would sweep the
State from one end to the other
He is by no means a weak candi-
date, but the untortunat" condition
