MIR. and Mrs. Sam SesstruDk, died
at the residence of his parents on

THE Grand Jury saw fit to indict
Sheriff Elijah Lynch, of Sussex
county, because a bunch Of prison
ers escaped from the old Jail. Just
why the sheriff should be blamed
for the short comings of the Levy
Court IS a mystery. The Jail has
been for years a public farce, 50 far
as a place of detention for prison
ers goes,and the responsibility lies
in the governing body and not in
the sheriff. It is true an aged dep
uty is kept to guard the criminals,
but at its best the Sussex county
Jail is scarcely strong enough to
hold a burglar over night.

THE State Central Committee oi
the Union Republican party met al
Dover last Monday, and took the
first steps towards reorganization
of the Republicans of this State
into one party and under one en-
blem. As was expected, the meet
ing was marked by expressions of
opinion from the various members,
and tine delegates stood evenly di-
vided; but this did not prevent har-
monious action. Every member
was unanimous in his belief that
the proper course for all Republi-
cans to pursue, was to reorganize
the Republicans of Delaware
through a common primary, fairly
held, into one party.
The committee chosen was made
up Of the men who have been most
active in the affairs of the Union
Republican party for the past twelve
years, and its personnel spoke for
fairness and justice to the princi-
pies of those who have stood all
these years solidly behind the
Union Republican organization of
Delaware. Mr.. Addicks, Mr.. Alice, |
DR.. Layton, DR.. Marshall and Sen
ator Groves; such are the men who
are intrusted with the peace over
tures, and we can see no reason
why they should not safely steer
the craft to an honorable peace with
the boiling faction of the Republ-
cans, who left the party in 1896 and
we believe, that if the Regulars"
are sincere in their overtures for
peace, that the differences will be
adjusted.
Milford chronicle., 1905-10-06

AT the organization Of the sub
committee appointed by the State
Central Committee last Monday,
the differences between Senator
Alice and Mr.. Addicks were un
happily Injected into the matter.
Both desired the chairmanship but
Mr.. Addicks was willing to com
promise upon DR.. Marshall, and it
was understood that such was to
be the program; but when the COM
mittee met Senator Alice was cho-
sen, and Mr.. Addicks left the room
very angry; refusing to sit in a
committee where Senator Alice
was the chairman. The infection
of personal differences into a mat
ter of this kind was a mistake, and
We believe that Mr.. Addicks will,
after mature deliberation, see it in
this light. The facts remain, that
the interest ofthe Republican party |
are above the personal quarrels of
either Senator Alice or Mr.. Ad-
dicks. The committee can act by
meeting the committee from the
Regulars" and then it must report
its actions back to the State Cen
tral Committee for ratification or
rejection; the same as the ''Regu-
lars" and then the matter is up to
the people Of each of the organiza-
tions to act upon.
