A tragedy which has shocked the
world, bereft the Kingdom of Servia
of its rulers and made for history an
other black chapter, was committed in
the palace of Belgrade, Thursday
morning. Alexander and the beautl-
full Draga were killed in the halls OF
the royal house. Prince Karageorgov-
itch, son of Black George, has been
declared King and new government
proclaimed. The Servian Parliament
has confirmed the proclamation of the
army.
All this was brought about by a

military resolution as deep laid as it
is awful in its consequence. The posi-
ton of King Peter I. promises to be
little more than that of a royal captive;
the real government of the country
will be a military dictatorship under

The Regulars are in favor of allowing
a select few of the Delaware Avenue
Silk Stocking Club to name the can
didates for office, not only in New
Castle County, but also in Kent and
Sussex; and when the Union Repub-
icans objected to this high handed
procedure they named ticket of their
own selection in the two lower coun-
ties and joined hands with the Demo
Gratis, publicly announcing that they
preferred the election of Democrats
rather than allow any kind OF a Re-
publican, but one of their own selec-
tion, to hold office. 1t acted as a
boomerang. Many Regulars became
so thoroughly disgusted with the
leaders of their own faction that they
boldly announced their intention of
Eeasting their lot with the Union Re-
publicans in the future. And what
has been the result of their attempts
30 run the Republican Party? A split
in the city of Wilmington and Dem
ocratic victory. Who is to blame for
it? Blame it on the Union Republicans
of course. They are used to getting
blamed for everything that does not
suit the ideas of the Wilmington
aristocracy. The EVenin9 Journal
Gays:

1902. Does the editor of the Journal
remember that campaign? Does he re-
member that common primaries were
asked for by the Union Republicans
throughout the State? Does he re-
member that our requests were insol-
emily refused in Kent and Sussex,
where they knew we had a majority,
and granted in New Castle County
where they thought the Regulars could
outvote the Union Republicans? And
after the primary election in the city
of Wilmington did the Regulars "sub-
NIT to the verdict" of those primaries;
We are, and always have been, il
favor of common primaries through,
out the whole State, for the purpose
of settling ali differences. That is tn,
way, and the only way, the Republican
Party can again be united, unless the
stampede, which has started among
the Regulars should land all of tina
faction in the Union Republican
Party.
Will the Regulars meet us half wa!

manly way, or will they continu,
