The Western Union Company has
adopted a drastic remedy in New

habit among its employees and the
suppression of the usurious money
lenders who encourage the vice for
self gain. Operators who are addicted
to borrowing and paronize the Shy

The following resolutions were adopted:
"Whereas, the press is an acknowl-
edged and patent agency in controlling
public affairs either for good or evil, and
"Whereas, the Republican press Of
Delaware, by reason of disordant and in
harmonious action, has failed to exert
that beneficial influence which it should
have exerted in the affairs OF the Repub-
lican party and,
"Whereas, the above conditions have
been caused principally by failure to elect
a United States Senator, and
"Whereas, there is now senatorial
vacancy with a Republican Legislature,

hereby pledges itself to united and har-
monious action in support of the follow
ing propositions

of common primary for the establish
ment of one Republican organization in

result.
"Third, The elimination of personal
abuse and the suppression of factional
recrimination in order TO alley party dis
cord and factional strife and the more
fully establishing confidence in Republic
can rule among the people of this State.
Fourth, to fully expose graft and NAL
feasance in Office, irrespective of party
and labor for honest elections, and good
municipal, county, State and national

Fifth, the combination OF the Repub-
lican press against the common enemy"

ner at the Clayton House.
