EDITORIAL OPINION

sentative Head proved too much for
the -Ball-BilIany faction of
the late Republican Organization, al
though It might have succeeded had
it not been for the division of its 10y
atty between Head for Congress and
State Senator Charles r. Miller for
governor. II was impossible to get
both nominations, and the superior
advantages of having Senator Miller
for governor appealed TO the COM
bination more forcofully than the fine
political victory that would have been
involved IN the denomination Of
Head. For Miller is popular with
down-State Republicans, and his
nomination was an easy matter, while
Heads success would have neces-
STATED a bitter fight. And failure
might have attended il in the end,
even with the combination solidly be-
hind him, which would have left the
new State leaders entirely discredit-
ed as they might have lost the CUB
ernatorial nomination also. And 80
they deserted Head, in a consider
able measure. in order 10 get Miller,
thus sacrificing good politics and the
possible good Of the State to presumed
political expediency and the NOR
dinate ambition Of one mantle man
whose cause they served.
The ticket, as we have Bald. is one
of the best that has ever been named
by the Republican party Of Della
ware. True. It includes two repre-
sentatives Of Addicks Republicanism
in its worst form-Theodore Town
send for auditor and David s. Clark
for State treasurer-but Townsend is
just concluding a very acceptable ad-
ministration Of the office for a part
Of a term, and Clark is regarded as
capable
State Senator Miller, the nominee
for governor, is admittedly man OF
sound ability and most pleasing per-
sonality He is a business man Of
high standing and has a good record
AS a State Senator. He is possessed
Of ample financial means, which fact
! will no doubt incite the fond hopes
OF the old party workers who look
to huge corruption for the purchase
of votes as the one way to victory
but It is certain their hopes will not
enjoy realization. For Senator Mil
Ter is not the man to encourage cleo
ton corruption much less become a
party to it.

Editor Of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL:
Sir: The Republican State Conven-
ton which met in Dover on Tuesday.
the goth, displayed great wisdom and
patriotism in the ticket nominated. 1t
is seldom that a list OF men Of such
strength can be secured as candidates
for Office From the Governor down,
the men named for the various offices
to be filled by the voters Of the State,
are men we'll qualified for the places
for which they are named; and their
moral character is above reproach.
With such men as these nominated
there is no necessity for a separate
Progressive State ticket in Delaware.
and as a Progressive myself, l would
very much regret the nomination of
such a ticket. A Voter.

present the State, and will be faith
full to the principles and policies of
the Republican party, including OF
course. loyal support of the abomin-
able protective tariff.
The Republican party has thus
done well; unusually well. It is now
up to the Democratic party to at least
equal the ticket nominated at Dover
yesterday Delaware ought TO be a
Democratic State this year, and II
can be made Democratic by good and
satisfactory nominations. Failure in
this important respect will invite de-
feat.

WORK OF THE cONvENTION.

From the Wilmington Morning News.
The Republican State Convention
at Dover yesterday nominated
ticket composed of gentlemen. all
Of whom are very well known in their
respective localities and most Of
whom have a statewide acquaint-
ance.
While "The Morning News" believ-
ed that Mr. Head for Congress, had
he been nominated and reelected
would have been in a position TO rem
der greater service to the state than
any new man. it is gratifying to know
that the selection of the convention,
Mr.. George II. Hall, is a man Of very
high standing in his community. He
served for a time with much credit
as comptroller of Sussex county, and
introduced business.like methods into
the Management Of the affairs Of the
county which won commentator.
Considering the fact that the dele
gates from Kent and Sussex were
utterly unwilling to overthrow the
precedent as TO the four year term
for a Congressman, the selection OF
Mr.. Hall was one of the very best
that could nave been made. He is
one of the foremost citizens OF Mill
ford.
Wilmington gets the honor Of hay-
ing the nominee for governor, with
Senator Charles r. Miller as the can
didate The popularity OF Senator
Miller is not confined to Wilmington
by any means. as was shown at the
convention yesterday when the dele
gates from the lower counties also
rushed 10 the support of the WIZ
mington senator. Mr. Miller has
made a creditable legislative record,
and he had also done well as a men,
Der Of the water board of this city.
He should be able to make a rafting
campaign and be a vote getter. Mr..
Satterfeld, the candidate for Attorney
General. is an attorney Of good stand
ing at the Kent county bar He
was a Deputy Attorney General under
Attorney General Richards. and his
experience I'm that Office should fit him
should he be chosen The other
places have been filled by men who
will undoubtedly prove to be vote
| WlnuelS.
The platform is fully in accord
with the platform Of tho National Re-
publican party. fortified by some
pertinent deliverances on local sub
iects, which beyond question repre-
! sent the prevailing opinion among
the Republicans OF Delaware.
