POLITICAL GOSSIP.

When the Union Republican State Con.
vention assemblies in Dover on March
10th, it is expected that other business
OF Importance will be transacted aside
from the election of six delegates and
their alternates to the National Conven-
tion. Among other things, resolution
may be presented declaring the name of
the party to be "The Republican party, I"
thus dispensing with the prefz '.Uuion"
which is at present part OF the official
title of "The Union Republican party"
Such resolution would be put through
the convention without any trouble, but
an attempt to adopt the name already
claimed and used by the regular Repub-
lican party would meet with vigorous op-
position. In cases of dispute over q
party name or title, the decision 10 vested
with the clerks of the peace OF the three
counties, a majority of whom shall pre-
vail. The Regular Republican organiza-
tion could carry the matter into the
courts to prevent the Union Republicans
taking the name The Republican party.
ltis understood that the Union Republic
cans will retain the star as their party
emblem.
Among some of the Union Republican
leadersi it is said that Magistrate Francis
o. Bradley. who is the Union Republican
city chairman, will be chosen one of the
Middletown transcript., 1904-03-05

delegates from New Castle county to the
National Convention, with Representa-
tive James P. Jones as his alternate, J.
Edward Addicks is to be the other dele
gate from this county. From Kent county
Senator J. Frank Alice and Governor
HUM are mentioned as National candi-
dates, and Secretary of State Caleb R.
Layton and Senator Simeon s. Penne-
will, are mentioned as the delegates to
be chosen on behalf Of Sussex county, al
though DR.. Layton at present is living in
Dover.
No date has yet been set for the Regu-
lar Republican State Convention to
choose six delegates and six alternates
to the National Convention. 1t is ex-
pected that meeting of the Republican
State Committee will be held in the near
future to issue call for the convention.

LACK OF PUBLICITY.

EDITOR OF TRANSCRIPT: In common
with many others, / was interested in
your editorial last week on the Light and
Water Commission, and its management
of the affairs of the town. But you over
looked what thought was the strongest
point of my recent communication, and
that is the entire lack OF publicity given
to their acts. As you have go often re-
marked, the great trouble with the Levy
Court, under the managements of the
last set of commissioners was that they
held SO many private meetings and trans
acted all of public business behind closed
doors. How much different is it for the
Light and Water Commission to do the
same thing. know that all public bod
les have more or less necessity for "con-
ference" and Caucuses'', but there is no
good reason why the business Of this
town shall not be transacted as openly
and freely as is the business of our sister
towns. In nearly every newspaper that
I see, I read of what the town council of
New Castle, Dover, Smyrna, Milford, &C.,
did at its last meeting, but never a word
about what the Town Commissioners OF
Middletown or the Lightand Water Com
mission have done. l feel that the Com
mission.has done and are doing the best it
can with the knowledge it has, and 1 also
know that I.haye no other SUGGESTION to
make than the one outlined in my for
mer communication. That was to 90
some where else than on that particular
piece OF ground to try the next expert
ment. But, if the people knew what the
Commission was doing or contemplating,
there would not be the grounds for the
grumbling that now exist. When tax
payers learn through rumors that come
from the favored few that their rates are
to be doubled next year, and the blan g
for the increase is put upon the Light
and Water Commission, they will COM
plain, and have a right to do so. Thank
ing You for the space to make myself
plain, am,

REGRET

We are sorry that a rush Of
other work has made it impos.
sible for US to place before our
readers the interesting table
showing the work of the Light
and Water Commission for the
past eleven years. We desired
to have this appear in this issue,
as promised, because of the fact
that next Monday is the date for
the Annual election of Town
Commissioners, and there are in
this table many figures that will
appeal to the taxpayer. If pos
sible, we will publish the same
next week.
