After indOrsing. the presidential
electors nominated by the Regular
Republicans in order to assure Della.
ware for Roosevelt and Fairbanks the
Union Republicans in their State con.
ventlon yesterday nominated State
and congressional ticket composed of
stralghtout Union Republicans. No
resolution was put through the con.
ventlon authorizing the State Com
mlttee to make any changes in the
interests of Republican harmony. al
though the Regular Republican State
Convention adopted such resolution
However, there was harmony plank
IN the platform. AS the situation now
stands there are two Republican tick
cts tor State offices and Congress. but
all Republicans are agreed upon presi.
dental electors. Senator Alec. who is
state chairman, and Secretary of State
Caleb II. Layton and some of the
Union leaders say such a resolution
was unnecessary, as their State Com
mlttee Is empowered at all times to fiji
vacancies created by death or other
wise. 1t was whispered about after the
convention that every man nominated
would willingly step down from the
ticket IN the interests of harmonizlng
with the Regular Republicans for a
compromise State ticket Naturally
the greatest hitch will be over the
compromise candidate for Governor
as the Regular Republicans declare
they will not haul DIR. joseph n
Chandler from the head of their ticket
and the Unionists say they will stand
firmly by Henry G. Conrad. Har-
mony negotiations will be opened bv |
the factional State committee soon in
the interests of unifying Delaware
Republicans.

and character of Hon. H. G, Conrad
OF Wilmington, Mr.. William L. Smith
