Dover. Aug. 1S.-1he Regular Repub-
licans OF Kent county are standinE
hard by the good old ship. Like Spar
tans of old they marched To the polls
on Saturday, through the gauntlet OF
derision. and bravely voted for a fine
delegation OF representative citizens to
go to their State Convention here to-
morrow and TO 'be in the right rather
than to be President OF the United
States"
The Dover delegates to the State
Convention will be headed by the be-
loved and venerable Republican citizen,
Manlove Hayes. lt also includes Will
liam II. Mckee. Edward w. jenkins,
George Gordon Massey, II. Ridgely
Harrington. George Massey Jones,
George w. Baker. Bradford Murphey,
Dr. G.. H. Ashmon. William r. Cahoon,
William II. Marvil and DR.. w. It..
Davis
Mr. Harrington has come over from
the Union Republican side, desiring
that the State should become rid OF
Addicksism and yet to remain in the
Republican party He Is a son Of
once famous campaigner in Delaware
and leader and organizer of Republic
cans. Mr.. Massey is a son of the for
mcr Delaware leader, George V. Mas
sey. whose voice rang out through
convention and meeting halls with pa
triotic utterances and stirring Repub-
licanism. Or. Ashmon represents a
class of new citizens who have located
hero, and can see nothing but reproach
and disrepute I'm Addiclsism.
! Vice-Charman Jenkins of the Kent
county Regular organization has been
making overtures 10 the Addicks Lead
erS for q compromise on the Kent
county ticket Mr.. Jenkins has volun-
tarlly sought some compromise, not
confident that his party does not intend
TO put its own ticket I'm the field, but
merely to prevent the argument being
advanced by the opponents: "You
passed as by on the other side" The
Union Republican leaders. however,
have fired back the taunt: "Why, whom
do you represent: you haven't any
thing TO offer us. should a deal be con-
sidered' This Notwithstanding the fact
that the Addicks men we'll know that
they cannot elect a man on their county
ticket without Regular support.
AuciCkSites are bOaSUul
The Union Republicans are very
b0astful and win proceed TO nominate
their county ticket tomorrow without
any concern for the Regulars. Why
i their braVadO shows itself at every at
u tempt to cOnciliate remains a question,
for their candidates were elected by
II greatly reduced majorities two years
l ago. one only having eleven votes over
his Democratic opponent. when two
years before they and the Regulars had
elected men by 400 and 300 majority.
Then. too. the Union Republicans did
z not elect a State senator In Kent county
! and only elected five representatives.
y They are either counting on the Scott
: story from Washington, or are count
3 ing backward.
? How They Talk
/, L. Irving Handy evidently is CRATE
!, ful for the expressions coming from
the Union Republicans regarding their
D. opposition to DIR. Ball. He says: Il can
Z beat two Republicans easier than one.
y This statement has set a bot of people
= thinking. IL indicates that Handy re-
- CARDS his nomination as assured, and
- certain Sussex county aspirants of the
Democratic faith vow they will see
about that Il also shows that there
are certain politicians calling them
selves Republicans who prefer a Demo
p crat to Dr. Ball.
5 f. W. Jenkins. of Dover1 said yes
2 terday that Alice has tried to trick the
d Regulars into nominating Burris by
intimating that he would have nc
Union party opponent.
y That trick seems to have been pretty
3 well understood, and much to the dis
E gust of the Addicks men, the fish die
not nibble. They have attempted e
s bring out Burris against Ball, but thI
{ State Treasurer saidthat mis- present Of
4 fee was satisfactory to him. that h
G liked the work. and he didn't believ'
= the climate Of Washington would agree
p with him.
e The Democrats have their eye ol
b Congress. and even with the Republi
{ cans united. there will not be a walk
4 over. Handy seems to be the choice o
