MIR. Byrne read some statistics and Grew
his conclusions therefron. He said that ut
the election In 1900 the total Republican
vote in Kent county was q, $50, of which ~
voted against the Union Republican candi-
tintes for the Legislature, leaving 9, iO9 Union
Republicans In Kent; the total hepnollaan
yotein Sussex was 4,aG1. Of which B39 voted
against the Onion Republican candidates
for the Legislature leaving 4,323 Union he
publicans in Sussex; the total Republican
vote In New Castle was 13,Ri6, OF which, he
claimed, the Union Republicans had one
third, or 4,549; the total Republican vote in
the State for the candidateior Congressman
was q, 1857. On The basis he gave, he arrived
| at the conclusion that the Union Republican
vote was as folows New Castle COUNTY.

| He claimed that since that election there
/ has been widespread dissatisfaction in the
ranks OF the Regulars because Of the failure
| OF the Legislature 10 elnct two United states
| Senators. He drew attention to Pencader
\ hundred. He suid that ut the election in
1900 there Senator Henry q. Ellison received
/ 131 votes, but after going to Dover and
| Pfsisting to block the election of two Sena
| tci, the situation had changed. Recently
he was a candidate for the insignificant
tIHr Rs.NNIf inn
4 oonyention,- and where before he received
l2l votes, on the second trial he was able to
| obtain only IA votes.
\ Ninety per cent Of the Republicans of
4 Pencader hundred, y h Q said, ARE against
senator Ellison because of his efforts to
| block the election of two United States
senators. Mr.. Ellison is man, OF fine
character, gentleman who is above Ie-
4 proach, an excellent man, and 1t is not
reflection on his character, but condemna
tion of his course in the Legislature.
Ninety per cent of the republicans
desire these factional fights TO stop. To the
1870 Union Republican votes, which tine
candidate OF this convention for Congress
will receive should be added S,1s8, being 30
per cent OF the Republicans of New Castle
county who opposed the Union Republicans,
which would make total OF 2l,l6f, as
against 1856 Democratic votes in 1900 and
4 1,7iQ irreconcilable Republicans who will
probably vote for DIR. Ball. The irrecon-
cilable vote for DIR. Ball will be ahont as
follows; New Castle county, 9l0i Kent, "a !;
Sussex, $50 making total of 1,71O. The
candidate of this convention will poll "a, FB7,
as against 1900 votes Of the Democrats and
irreconcilable Republicans. i

Spec king of the division in the party he
said there was not a man who would not
admit that there was a division. He said he
hoped to see the party united before l90t.
He asserted that 30 per cent Of the Republi-

Republicans were favorable to the election
OF two Republican United states Senators.
