nominate Mr.. Ban Tor Congress-,
please state theil Oh e..ious and their
reasons for oppo ins his reuomina-
tlon?-SusseX Republicans.
Nothing would please US more bu t
We are unable to give all OF our OBJ
jections to tho nomination OF DR..
Ball in one issue OF this pa per as we
have not room enough. We will give
q few, however:
DIR. Ball pledged himself to divide
the Federal patronage In the event
Of his election. He was loyalty sup
ported by the Union Republicans and
elected. Has he lived up to his prom.
ises?
DR.. Ball persistently mlsrepresent
ed the Union Republican Party, and
we believe he would continue to doso
In the event OF his reelection.
DR.. Ball. We believe, is responsi.
bic for the dismissal OF certain men
from the Federal service simply and
solely because said men were Union
Republicans, and did not hesitate to
proclaim themselves as such.
Dr.. Ball is opposed 10 one Republi-
can Party in Delaware so long as the
Union Republicans are in the major
ity.
DR.. Ball is an advocate Of common
primaries in New Castle County an1
one ticket, and helps the Democratic
Party in Kent ana Sussex.
DR.. Ball is not trying to unite the
Republican Party, but is devoting
all his time to the Strengthening OF
the party controlled by the Delaware
Avenue silk Stocking Club.
DR.. Ball is a bitter factionalist,
and as such could not he reelected
even though he were indorsed by the
Union Republican organization.
There are enough people in Sussex
County opposed to his return to Con
gress to defeat him. and if Il Demo.
crat is wanted in Congress the
surest way to get him is to n,minlta
DR.. Bal, and we will guarantee that
a Democrat is elected. --Union Re-
publican.
. The above is the Union Rcpubl-
cau $ answer to oar request Tor 4
statement Of the rcasons for their
opposition TO tn, rcncm nation Of
Congressman Ball. 1t is divided
into seven paragraphs. They all
could be answered with The one
word, alse. " bat W: will cousid-
er them separately.
First DR., BAl, did not pledge
himself TO divide The Federal pat
ronage. aad We challenge the Union
Republican 10 proluce one scintilla
Of evidence thar h. did, bu, h. has
more Union Republicans appoiatcd
to Office in two years than al the
Union Republican officials, who
have held oli@ in this State, put
together have aopointel AMI.
Adiicks Republicans in the last
eight years.
Second. Nr. Bal has not mi5rep.
seutcd The UnioA h2puJlisNn party,
or any other party and ", s5an
Challenge the Union Republican to
produce It's cyidencc.
Third DR.. Bail Is not re- ponsiDe
for the Dismissal Of any Union or
other Republican Oilicll from the
Federal scrYjtc and we challenge the
the UnIon Republican to name one
man calming 10 be Il Union Repub.
lcan who has been SO dismissed.
Fourth. DR.. EalI is nuL opposed 10
one Republican party in Delaware
and We challenge tho Union Kcpub
liCan to produce partiCe Of evidence
TO prove that he is or ever has been.
Fifth. Dr. BAH is au advocate oi
common primaries in New Castle
CoGnty, but he never has helped the
Democratic party IN Kent aud Sus.
Sex Counties, and again we dcmanG
proof that lie has
Sixth. DR.. Ball is trying his ut
mCst 10 unite the Republicans OF
this State, but not to elect Addle ok 3
Senator. lie is not trying tt
strengthen any party controlled bv
the Delaware Avenue SILK Stocking
Club because there is no such
party in exlstance, nor such a
club. Produce your proof.
seventh Dr. Bail is not a bitter
fac,lonaIist. Every Republican
without regard TO faction has
always received the same courteous
ire eaimcnt from him, as many Union
Republicans can testify. lie would
be elected il nominated and there
would not be 4 hundred linton Re
pub.lcans ID Sussex County VIII
would cut him.
There is not one particle OF truti
In any Of these oh Icctons. w
vii! not say that this Editor ha
deliberately lied, because he MAJ
believe that he is telling the trut|
and consider the source OF his in
formation rel bic and We will con
tent ourselves with insisting tina
he produce evidence to convinc'
his readers and himself Of tn
truth OF his statements. II h'
wishes TO lie iar and has the G oo'
OF the Republican party at hear
he will not hes tate TO publish III
truth and correct his stateme ents
whether unintentional or not. II
might also state few reasons VIII
the Addicksi.es expect so muct
from Congressman who they have
continued to abuse and Willy evel
since his election.
II Congressman Ball is not nomi
pated, Governor Hum should re
sigh to keep pledge he did make. =
