Answer From the Regulars But Proceeded
With Primaries as Advertised.
The delay of the Regular Republican
State Central Committee to answer the
Union Republican proposition for one
State ticket and common primaries,
the party of majority and regularity to
have first choice and alternate down
the line, prevented the factions from
coming together in common primaries
in New Castle County, and as Satur
day was the day scheduled for the
Union Republican Primaries, they
came off as advertised. The desire of
so many Republicans to get together
kept the vote down considerable as
many would not go to the polls. AS
result only little over 1900 votes
were polled. The Regulars" did all
they could to keep down the vote
To all intents and purposes the num-
Der of votes cast Saturday was as good
as million, for there has now been
Union Republican county ticket NOM
mated and the ouly thing for the
Regulars" to do is to nominate
ticket of their own and then enter
into negotiations by which a part of
each ticket may be taken as the ticket
of the Republican party in this county.
The Union Republican party, having
a ticket already in the field, will be in
position to demand some of the
county Offices, where the Regulars"
might have carried all of them had the
two parties gone into common pri-
maries. cit seems likely that as soon
as the Regular" Republican State
Committee has delivered it's final an
swer to the Union Republican demand d
for the candidates for Governor and
certain other officers on the Stat @
ticket compromise proceedings on the
State and county ticket will be COM
menced and will probably be success :
full. That the Republican Nation al
Committee has been ordering the
Union Republicans to make all kinds
of compromises in order to get the
Regulars" to agree to one State
ticket Is given a complete denial by
the fact that Vice Presidential Can
didate Fairbanks and a number of
other speakers of national prominence
are to speak in Wilmington under the
auspices of the Union Republican par.
ty, which is an indication that the
committee recognizes the Union as
the real Republican party in Delaware
